Keeping On

i am stil feeling good. Not great because I am tired and need a good night's sleep, but still 8 in my head, nonetheless.
Its ten to 7 and Ivan needs to be up at 7 to take Arnie early to the vet. He seems to have a disease of lack of enzyme secretion from his pancreas. He is all skin and bone and we are very worried about him...hope the vet can help us help Arnie...
Not much else that's new....still planning on going to the states in September and still stressing about making bookings - do I pay up front or simply reserve a room...paying for it when I get there...
Got Lisa this morning-we were supposed to buy a map of the uSA and use my celebration money to do it, but no sign of the map as yet...dammit. I want to see my route in more detail...and start plotting my day's trips and stop overs...I have plenty of time for Lisa-she is very good at her job and has become a real friend.
I dont have many friends in Auckland, well only Bryan and Ann apart from work mates-oh and Nicky and Suzanne and Pat....I have enough contact with people really. ivan and I are good friends.
Ivan is still off the tobacco. i have 3 more pouches to go and if he is still stopped by then i will stop too. I am excited about this-save a heap of money and have the peace of mind that not smoking gives you... I will save about $70 per week- more to go in my super savings or my travel account....or even just to spend......
I can see the sunshine striking through the trees outside our kitchen window. A golden glow.
One more day of work - its been a long week...
Make some plans for the weekend....finish listening to Carol's tape of my Astrology session, listen to Dinah up talking to Dinah down....
I feel strange getting older....I am nearly 60 for GOD'S sake!
It doesn't feel right for me to be this age...I still feel 35 inside me. But people see me as an oldie now....I am the right age to be travelling I guess......I am a bit scared at my tight schedule but I will get there.
I am glad I have made up my mind to do this....this year is going to be one of good progress.
