Life is going quite well for me at the moment... the highlight of this week was the arrival of my new boots...

i have beautiful, made-to-my-measurements, knee-high leather boots, which are comfy, and fabulous. I was filled with massive amounts of happiness and joy the first time I put them both on and zipped them up and beheld my legs from the knee down wrapped in sexy black leather... the ONLY problem with them, is that the leather is super super soft, deliciously soft, baby soft... why is this a problem? Well, my boots fall down... as in I put them on, zip them up to my knees, and by the time I've walked to the bus stop I am wearing mid-calf boots with a fold at the ankle... not quite sure what to do about that... they need like, corset boning up the sides or something!!!

I still love them though :)

In other news, I had my palm read yesterday by The Other Tammy At Work (hereafter known as TOTAW)...

She said I'm VERY independent, and VERY stubborn and I like things to be my way and I know my own mind... duh! She also said I have very strong spirituality lines, and they intersect with lines that apparently indicate I'm good at counselling other people and she said I should study and become a social worker or counsellor. Apparently, around my 60s I will dive very deeply into the spiritual stuff, I'll be living here but my head will be more connected to another world entirely. I asked if that was possibly dementia, but she said no. She also said that I have a strong sixth sense that I used naturally when I was a child, and then stopped using it, but I will start to develop it more from around 35-40yo... I will live to at least my 80s... there are four major relationships in my life and lots of smaller ones, the fourth big one I will let my head rule... in my late 30s/early 40s I will be working two jobs, and the second will gradually take precedence and become my main job... and she also said I have very strong creativity and I will tap into it more in my late 30's, and that's possibly connected to the second job...

Iiiiinteresting.

there has been lots of stuff in my head lately about spirituality, and a swing within myself back to the beliefs and practices, and I guess, devotion, I held to spirituality in my late teens/early twenties. Not that it ever really went away, but I'm paying more attention to stuff lately, and being more deliberate, and I'm finding that things are shifting for me, and I am feeling more centred, and happy, and balanced.

I'm always a bit hesitant to talk about my spirituality, partly because it can sound a bit nutty, but mostly because it is quite a personal thing for me. But I'm feeling the tug of church again, and I think in the next week or two I may venture to a service, and see if there is still anything there for me.

In completely other news, I'm contemplating the purchase of a pushbike. I think I want a pushy. It shall have to have a basket on the front of course, and ribbons on the handlebars. I've done some research, I'm waiting to see how my tax return looks before deciding though, as I have to get a new passport ($200!!!! more than doubled in price since the last one!) and also fund my holiday in NZ in October/November, only 14 weeks from now.

And finally, on Tuesday I noticed that they'd taken the rainbow flags down around Taylor Square, and how bare and barren it looked... on Wednesday morning the heavens took care of it...
