Good News, a Challenge, then Brunswick Heads

Firstly, some good news!
At long last, partly due to mistake on Super A-Mart's part (they sent a courier with third replacement chair, but forgot to inform said courier that he had to pick up the old one - we were actually running after him yelling "Did you want the other chair dude?" to which he answered that he had no time to hang around and would have to come back - well, lucky us because only with pieces from both boxes did the final chair come together). We are keeping this for rest of life, regardless.


Have been getting bogged down in negative thought patterns lately.
Such as endlessly playing out conversations inside my head where I tell so-and-so (and such-and-such items like chairs) off for various reasons.
For example the tarot-lady; even though realise have no solid base for feeling so down about it. Everything she said was wrong, so why feel bad about the nasty comments she maid - as if the mean bit would somehow be applicable and correct when nothing else was?
Unless woke up today suddenly being a bored but creative teacher from Ireland in her twenties who is unhappy in her work and misses home, then should have nothing to worry about...
But still. Having deeply ungracious thoughts about kicking her teeth in. Such negative thinking can lead to nothing good. And is only hurting myself.

Must. Stop. Obsessing.

For this reason, the sudden negativity that is, have decided to do mini-challenge in Yoga. See, everyone else in studio (nearly everyone, anyway) are doing something called "30-day-challenge." This means everyone has to practise EVERY day for 30 days. Would have signed up as well, really would have..!
Only in middle of month we are off to Sydney for a boozy weekend, so would not be able to fulfil requirements.
Told Teacher today about what am doing (the mini-challenge, which have just decided will be 10 days) - oddly, she did not look all that impressed..?

Of course, am not doing mini-challenge to impress Teacher. Am doing it for inner peace. So that I may stop wanting to kick people's teeth in and / or give them the finger all the time. That is tiring.
Also is major setback on road to becoming a hippie.

Today was good! Drove to Brunswick Heads (nope, no road-rage) and had lunch with Louise. Best day for a while. Maybe something to do with mega-early yoga session?

Obsessing in my own head is something I do very well... Sometimes wish there was an off switch to access. xo

Är det er altan? Blev just aldeles vanvettigt avundsjuk. Vill också ha altan med palmutsikt!

Smurfen, japp det är balkongen! Jag älskar palmer, här det en del som anser att de är en "pest" i trädgården och hugger ned dem! Never! Vår trädgård är en tropisk och vild regnskog snarare än nåt man gått igenom med en kamm och lagt varje grässtrå tillrätta...
