For five years of my marriage, I slept alone on one side of a double bed.
Now, this is how we sleep.

I call it the semi-spoon.

As self indulgent as this sounds, and I realise most people feel this way about the men they love, I have found the ever elusive, the very last, non-sexist, kind, generous and loving man on this planet.
And he is not embarrassed of me, my foot-in-mouth disease, my loud drunken self, or my wobbly bits.

I see you, baby. And you are magical.

Past life regression

When I was a wee baby in my mother’s womb, I was a very weak foetus, and I suspect, a bit depressive. During labour, the doctors had trouble getting me out, seeing as how I had suffocated myself with my own umbilical chord. Attempted foetal suicide? Perhaps.

In the process, I kind of died for a few minutes. They put me on artificial resuscitation and eventually, I came back to the party. Now, during that time, here’s what I think happened.

My depressive soul had left my body and everyone Up there was all ” Oh, we lost one!” until in the last minute when they realised they had made a mistake. Then they had to quickly supply a substitute soul. The soul that was available immediately was that of a dog.

And so, on the outside, I am a woman. Inside, I am a big fat Labrador. I am lazy, like to sleep all the time, cannot keep myself from food, wag my tail for everyone until I get kicked, and pretty much sell out to cuddles and love. O, and I am loyal like a dog, too. If you hurt someone I love, I WILL bite you.

Good friends

I am always surprised by people who move in big groups, constantly looking for things to do, places to go, drinks to drink.

I believe good friends don’t need to be in cool restaurants or trendy clubs, have the TV on or play loud music. All you need is a place to sit down and may be a cup of tea. You don’t even have to say much. Or, you can say a lot without worrying that you’re being judged about what you’re saying. You can listen or even tune out, without worrying that someone will think it’s rude.

Just lie around and bathe in the secure, warm feeling that you get when you are surrounded by people who love you.

After all, there’s more truth in what you feel than what actually happens.

Speaking my mind

The thing about always speaking your mind is, people often reject/deny what you are saying, no matter how logical, because they are suddenly confronted with total honesty.

A few days ago, I spoke my mind after being poked and prodded on a very childish social issue.

It did not go down well at all. So, note to self: must not speak my mind in the future.
