selfish me

for enjoying spending time with you
for planning and looking forward to our annual holiday
for helping all day with the garage sale
for Christmas shopping together
for amending (not canceling) our plans
for gardening together
for planning osteo visits around each others schedules
for changing the date of the property inspection so you can come too
for inviting you to sleep over when the others are away
for enjoying when you call me
for wanting you to live nearby so I can visit more frequently and easily
for designing and planning stuff together
for playing board games and staying over your house
for wanting to demolish stuff and get my hands dirty
for researching stuff for you
for being honest
for having nice birthdays and special occasions together
for caring
for loving you more than anyone
for being your daughter and friend.

i like the days when i feel 16 again

And there have been a few of those recently. Put it down to teenage fiction. Seen the movie, can't wait to read the book, thanks Twilight.

where to next

Thinking NZ (North Island), WA, Japan - any place that would be a good 2 week holiday - and then also some more short breaks.

I'd like to do more bush walks. I know I will be looking for a distraction from my study.

Mum and I will go to Narooma for our annual holiday later in the year :)

i am feeling very overwhelmed

and the need to escape is falling upon me.

eeeek

I need to plan my next holiday...escapism preserves my sanity.
