Day 149 – A Mighty Heart


I just got in from a night out to dinner and movies with my bestie. Its now 12.15am and I feel fucking great!!

So let me tell you about my busy day. I woke up this morning, well yesterday morning, which was Saturday morning (you get what I mean right?) at 4.03am. I was parched!!! I waddled to the kitchen and drank 3 glasses of water. Did I eat anything salty I thought to myself? I don’t know what bought on this thirst but I was thinking ripper only 5 glasses of water to go.

I tried to go back to sleep but my body clock was not having a bar of it. So I decided instead to start on some housework. I managed to clean my bathroom. Its so shiny and clean it’s freaky. I got on all fours and with an old toothbrush I scrubbed in-between the tiles.

By 8.00am I was tired again so I grabbed Elvis like he was a hot water bottle, wrapped my arms around him and cuddled him and went back to sleep. I snoozed for a bit and then decided to have a shower which pissed me off as I had just scrubbed my shower clean a few hours earlier and now I was getting it all wet. I’m fucked in the head. I acknowledge this, I know this and I can deal with this. (ha ha ha)

I then managed to spend close to two hours on the phone with the delightful and witty bandster Bee. We laughed, we gossiped, we compared, we shared and then bragged about our four legged children. Daisy her child is part Sri Lankan and as you are all aware my Elvis is part Greek. Daisy eats Sri Lankan curries and Elvis loves his Greek food. Hilarious!!! I wish you all could meet Bee she is really one in a million and I do feel really blessed to have her as my friend.

I went for a walk later in my day and ohmigod how gorgeous was the weather in Melbourne today? My walk turned into a light jog and it was nice to have the warm sunshine warming my back as we went our way.

I then spent the majority of my day playing with my new mobile phone. Thankfully I get to keep my same phone number even though my phone has disappeared. I love my new phone and love all the gadgets on it. May this be the last phone I get for a long time, as this is now my 4th phone in 10 months.

So tonight my bestie V and I decided on movies and dinner. I perused the menu and I was fucking frightened to eat anything. This sort of let me down, as I didn’t sign up for this. I didn’t sign up for panicking each and every mealtime. I looked over the menu like 10 times and decided that I would play safe and stick to soft wedges. V ordered some delish chicken and rice dish which looked lovely but didn’t have me drooling. I love that.

After dinner we walked over to the movie theatre and saw a really good flick called A Mighty Heart with Angelina Jolie. It was an amazing movie and I liked the fact that it wasn’t a movie, which did nothing but show us Angelina’s face. I think Angelina is great don't get me wrong but it was great that it show cased some other great actors and was not all about her. This flick wasn’t all about her. Does that make sense?

Angelina portrayed Marianne Pearl, the wife of murdered Wall Street Journal, journalist Daniel Pearl. Daniel was kidnapped and then murdered in Pakistan. It was a moving movie and when Marianne received the news and confirmation that her husband had been murdered she screamed in pain, this eerie scream that sounded so real and like I would expect anyone in such emotional turmoil to sound like, I lost it and had tears just streaming down my face. Man it cut me and saddened me. Awesome movie. Go and see it.

So that’s been my day in a nutshell.
