Had an odd dream last night... someone I don't know died (her name was cheryl or Shannon or something like that, and we gymed together... I don't go to gym, I just don't like gyms, rather exercise at home, lol), and left me over a million rand... and I was asking my dad what to do with it while following him around this place that looked like a castle, yet felt like it was my old school, lol... we went through this one underground room that had all these spiders and their webs (Ewwww... I hate spiders with a passion) and an underground lake with stepping stones across, and my dad was just murmering non-commitedly to my questions, 'cause I was saying, now I have money for my trip to the UK, and he's like uh huh, and mm hmm. We were going up some spiral staircase when I woke up. It's been a long time since I remembered a dream... especially one as strange as this one. Must have been all the painkillers I took yesterday, lol.
I was in such pain yesterday (Strange pain, suppose I should go to a doctor about it, it travels all round my middle section and round to my back and has me crying more often than not), don't know what caused it, all I know is I've had it before and normally a couple Panado's knocks me out enough so I can sleep it off... but yesterday... 4 panado's and finally 2 grippons later (cold and flu tablets, go figure) I pass out. I took the grippons 'cause I knew they would make me sleep. I'm still on a plak from them. Shame, my dad was worrying about me when I went to his room to get the grippons, asking if there was anything he could do for me... he's such a sweetie pie.
Friday went with my dad, his girlfriend, her daughter Caitlyn and a friend of Caitlyn's to the mall to go watch movies. I landed up going with Caitlyn and Stacy to a seperate restaurant from the 'rents. Of course I could've killed Caitlyn (don't get me wrong, I adore her) but we had to stop at 3 different restaurants before she was happy... the 1st one, had a smoking section, but no sangria (she really wanted a cigarette AND sangria), second one had sangria, but no smoking section, we finally settled for Spur, which had both and the sangria was cheaper than the other place... she is impossible to please at times. We watched 13 going on 30, it was really cute, a bit of a chick flick, Caitlyn and I both cried a bit at the ending (even though I didn't admit it, couldn't see I had been, while Caitlyn's eyes were blood red). Gollum was in the movie... well... what's his face was anyway... what's his name, I can't believe I forgot... oh yeah... Andy Serkis. He was a gay magazine editor in chief. My dad and Charmaine watched Laws of Attraction... apparently my dad got a bit sentimental, lol.
Otherwise the rest of my week was quiet, just work and belly dancing on wednesday. My teacher had a horrid stomache bug that had her hospitalised for 2 days the other week. She explained what was happening with this expo... I have to be there the whole bloody day... they have workshops and stalls during the day (She would like us all to go to the veils workshop where they'll teach us about dancing with 1, 2 and 7 veils) and the dancing only starts in the evening... but by then, I should have had something to drink to loosen me up, lol. I can't believe that I have to be in the front row of dancers, just 'cause I'm shorter than some of the others!!! I'm not actually that short!!! Possibly on this coming Wednesday, a woman who does belly dance costumes will be coming to our class so I can organise one... yay!!! One of the other women in my class went to see her friday, and if she's reasonably priced, she'll get her to come through next week.
Anyway, that's that in my rather quiet life, lol. Tomorrow is a public holiday here in SA... woman's day! Yay... so on one of our larger radio stations, the owner gave all the women the day off, lol... so only male dj's tomorrow, and the male dj's are whinging and whining about it and asking why isn't there a men's day.
