Kai has just gone home. Although I know he has enjoyed his visit here, I loved watching him greet Toni ... he was happy to see her again. We chatted for a short time about her holidays - and how expensive everything was, and how the horse-sitting had gone ... they woke to snow again this morning!
I have enjoyed having him to stay, both for the company and making me walk, even in the rain, as well as a way of thanking Toni for all the times she looks after DJ.
While waiting for Toni to arrive, I actaully started my
So, thought I would just do this MEME that I snagged from
Right now I'm... MEME
Feeling: Pretty great, but hungry.
Wearing: Multi-coloured jumper, and green jeans.
Wishing: Only one thought, which is un-shareable. Basically life is OK at present - maybe, just wish the oven chips would cook quicker!
Missing: Kai!
Thinking: About my S_S plot ... at what point the story ends!
Wondering: If I will get time to to some clarinet practice today ... can't do it in an evening as I live in a terraced house!
Raving About: James ... as ever (I have his CD on at present!)
Ranting About: Nothing new - only lack of manners, but so far today, I have avoided that!
Fangirling/Drooling Over: James!!!
Thankful For: My faith, family, friends. Thank you, all.
Planning: My trip to London ... almost organised, as far as I can.
Looking Forward To: May 1st and 2nd.
Dreading: a future without my parents ... even though they are both well as I type this, they are both in their 80s.
Wanting: to pay back the money I borrowed from Mum and Dad last year.
Hoping: to meet all of you one day - I know I will see some of you in May, but I would love to meet the rest of you at one point.
Wow, that was fun ... and ended up slightly focussed on one event and person (shock!!)

I know what you mean. I think of that sometimes even though my parents aren't in their 80s yet. At the moment I don't want to imagine it.

Yes, that's one of my hopes too. Maybe one day I'll be able to make a trip over there.

Date: 2009-03-05 02:40 pm (UTC)The idea of losing your parents is painful. I was in Germany when my dad died. I was with my mom when she died. It changes you life so much when you lose them. The loss hits you in so many ways. A huge part of your life is gone. Suddenly you are no one's child and realize you are an adult in a different way.
I hope your visit with James goes well. So exciting to see him I know.
