Slipping Through. Slightly Feathered.
Sun Dec 04 2005

Where did the weekend gone? Time is slipping through my fingers without leaving a note where I could put a tick against useful things I’ve done. Two days went without notice…let’s see what this lazy crazy lady managed to achieve. Errrmmm…how about “zilch” ? (unless, of course, one considers sitting whole night till 5am setting up webpage that doesn’t even needed to be made in the first place, a “doing”…) she didn’t even step outside in those two days! And oh, so “exciting” (?!) she only managed to fetch some Christmas decorations from the loft…and no, not for actually decorating the house…I’m simply not ready for that yet. Somehow I like Christmas spirit to fill the house just before the actual day. But I did need to get the box with sparky goodies down, to go through and find if there is anything suitable to use for our office Christmas Party which this year will be rather early – next Friday.

Last week we went to get some feathers. I’ve bought a skirt instead. You think this is funny? "Us" would be me and my colleagues. The feathers we were after – some “birdy” accessories , as Christmas party theme will be “12 days of Christmas”…so we decided that we would look pretty cool as “four birds calling”…anyway, that’s not important. We’ve discussed our options and after casting out the ideas (suggested by our male colleagues, of course) of rolling nakked in a tar and then sprinkle ourselves with the feathers from teared up pillows or raiding the Ann Summer’s sale, we decided that just feathered earrings and something else like pendant or boa would suffice enough for our ambitions…

So we went for the feather hunting…and bought me a skirt [opsss...]  And I don’t even need another skirt,  as I’ve already bought my Perfect One recently ..and I'm not even sure that I would ever put this one on, as it's a bit of "underlenghted" (I mean it is too short of what I would normally put on)…but they said my legs look cute in this skirt...and what women could object to such a flattering argument? Now I’ve got to find a way to leave the skirt-pretty-legs-pretty-boots part of me on display and to hide away my other part. Anyway, that was fun and I suspiciously enjoyed the process of shopping for my beloved self…oh, yes, and we did find few feathered options for the fancy dress party and no, they were not from Ann Summers, although some of the stuff they’re selling there ….wooohoo! would've been certainly a hit for some private party!

    Its really hard seeing a friend go through such a harsh thing as cancer. One of my best friends husband just finished 18 months of treatments for hep. C, it was one of the hardest times in my life. The only thing I know to do is stand by my friend and speak words of power and encouragement over the family.
    This weekend has gone by pretty quickly. I forgot that today was Sunday completely untill I saw the date on your entry!~laughs~

    RYC: the snowman icicle is *S* favorite ornament this year, he says it reminds him of an adult toy with handles.~laughs~

    I am so sorry for you that you can't go to your friend. I know how important is, having nursed a friend and an aunt, and having watched two other friends fade away in hospice. One had breast cancer, and the other three had ovarian cancer; all metastasized.

    I'm assuming your friend's tumors are inoperable. She should be in hospice care so that she can have a visiting nurse (if she wants to stay at home) and can get medications that will ease any pain.

    I hope, if the end is near, that it will be quick and painless.

    God bless.
