Highdays and Holidays

Had a lovely weekend. Friday night at Supergran's with lots of G&T and sympathy. Ended up telling her about the whole big money mess, and actually found a funny side. Amazing what insights can be offered by someone who's known you your whole life. Then I had lunch with a very hungover Jellie on Saturday, which was rather nice. There's nothing like a big dose of family to make me feel better.

24 hours away from Him gave me lots of lovely clarity and distance on everything that's been happening, and made me realise that it's really not so bad. Was able to go home feeling renewed and better and generally ready to get on with things.

Also had the bonus of a phone call from Daddycool and Stepmummy on Sunday afternoon. I don't know whether Supergran had spilled the beans, or whether Daddycool has finally developed parental intuition, but they were worried about me. Which is such a rare occurence that it was lovely rather than irritating.

I do adore my family, dysfunctional though they may be.

This time in 6 days we'll be touching down at Alicante airport. Hurray! I feel ready to go away now. My suitcase is already half packed, and my bikini is in my hand luggage - they can lose my bags, but they will not break my holiday spirit!

I feel ready to take on anything life throws at me right now. I'm sure the feeling won't last, but it's nice for the time being in any case...
