The clouds are large and peaceful and floaty and the blue sky is soothing and smooth and helps to lighten my mind.<br>

<br>
Sometimes I stare for too long. Staring for too long makes it hard to get up again. The clouds are fluffy and the sky is blue and it's nicer to stay staring up at it than to stand up and go back to reality and all of its difficulty.<br>

We've all been there. In the middle of a discussion about a very famous and important movie that you should have seen, but you haven't.<br>
<br>
Let's face it. We lead busy lives. Watching a movie takes a lot of time. And, often, watching a classic movie takes a lot of brain power. There's a lot of pressure, too, watching a movie that's generally beloved and respected. Sometimes it's better to watch a lightweight movie. Or an episode of a television series.<br>
<br>
Or five episodes of a television series. Mmm, <i>Bunheads</i>.<br>
<br>
But that puts us in the awkward position, when people we're talking to start discussing, say, <i>The Godfather</i>, of having not seen the movie.<br>
<br>
And thus we have two choices. We can either tell the truth, say we haven't seen <i>The Godfather</i>, and spend the rest of the discussion alternatively being berated for not having seen SUCH A CLASSIC MOVIE!!! and being told to go and watch said movie AT ONCE. Or...we can lie. Pretend we've seen <i>The Godfather.</i> Use the accumulated knowledge floating around in popular culture, and a zillion references from <i>The Simpsons</i>, to flub our way through the conversation. Peppered with vague comments like, "Oh, yeah, it's such a classic!", of course.<br>
<br>
And this is where I come in.<br>
<br>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ok, ok, I get it. Your signals are clear, and I am at last heeding your warnings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So please, my dear body, stop the damn leg cramps!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I know I’ve avoided exercise for the last 3 years. Oh, boy, do I know it. Every time I walk up a set of stairs I know it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Damn you, stairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I get that the weight I’ve slowly accumulated around my thighs is a direct result of my lack of exercise. And also a lot of sitting on my arse at computers and on lounges in front of televisions. I guess the weight is acting as padding to make these activities more comfortable? Very smart, body, but also a very good warning sign. I mean, if you feel the need to make sitting for extended periods more comfortable for my butt, it’s pretty clear that I’m doing too much of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love warm weather. Warm weather is my favourite of all the weathers. Warm weather and I...we’re like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">this </i>(imagine my fingers crossed). Warm weather’s my bro, my homie, my...something else 90’s sounding. So, understandably, the fact that the weather is indeed warming up makes me deliriously happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today I left my house wearing a dress. This is nothing new; I wear dresses 90% of the time. But I accessorised my dress with bare legs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I don’t know whether you’ve ever lived alone, but it is a fulfilling experience. Relying wholly and solely on yourself for everything – groceries, cooking, cleaning, well-being – is something that we don’t generally do. We live with our families, we house-share, we move in with our partners. Living alone is expensive, and it’s lonely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">But I have to say that I never found it lonely. There’s a difference between loneliness and being alone, and I don’t mind being alone. I think I thrived on finding out what I was capable of without anyone there to motivate me. Needless to say, I enjoyed the experience, and my apartment and I shared a close personal bond. It was my first house of my very own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The place I fulfilled dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The place where love was rekindled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The place where I began to be an adult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">And, this week, the place I bid adieu to start the next stage of my life in our house of dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I will miss it, my quirky little space. Yes, even the train line my kitchen window overlooked. I know that I am crazy lucky, that our house of dreams is amazing, that I’m here with my love, and that our loved ones are close by. But while I’m stepping out on the road to somewhere amazing, I’m holding close the sweet memories created in my first little place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh dear. The internet has done it to me again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was looking forward to some good old random internet
searching tonight, as it’s been a while since I’ve perused my favourite sites.
I had visions of craft inspirations and laughter-inducing pictures of cats
doing weird things dancing in my head as I snuggled up in front of the computer
and typed in the usual addresses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But here I am, 20 minutes later, feeling crap about myself
and thoroughly discouraged from ever doing anything, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ever again</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The internet has shown me the light. I am clearly a failure
who will never be able to apply flawless liquid eyeliner, or clean my house in
the correct way, or have perfect hair every day. My life is no longer worth
living, as I have not yet succeeded in painting a piece of funky second-hand
furniture with an awesomely bright paint. For god’s sakes, I don’t even have an
oven to bake my Mario-themed cupcakes in! You’d think that this would leave me
more time to stick to that very simple exercise plan that floats around in a
fluoro meme, involving 20 repetitions of 20 push-ups, sit-ups, burpees, star
jumps, squats and lunges, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">but I can’t
even get motivated enough for that!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s it. I’m just gonna lie here and think about how I’m
wasting my life. Go ahead, step over my immobile body. Maybe you could lie some
hand-made origami flowers upon it, and say some nice things about how I once
had the best intentions to be arty and crafty and organised and fit and clean? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“She was hopeless,” they will say. “But she always had the
best intentions.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rest in peace, my talents and ambitions. I shall miss you.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My life is turning into one giant stream of “The closer you get, the slower I go”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, my driving life, anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It seems that for the past month, every time I get out on the road there’s some loon sitting as close as possible to the rear end of my car, hovering menacingly in an attempt to make me either exceed the speed limit or move out of their way. It doesn’t matter whether I’m crawling along in peak hour traffic, cruising in regular, speed-limit abiding traffic, or the only other car on the road (and also in the left lane with a perfectly free middle lane on my right). There they are, so close I can barely see their headlights in the rear vision mirror.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before I continue my rant, let me get a few things straight. I’m not a slow driver. I am also not a fast driver, because I am a rule-abider who likes to do the speed limit. Call me what you will, but know that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also do not like going stupidly slow because the person in the car in front of me is deciding to take a leisurely drive at 40kph in a 110kph zone in a place where I cannot overtake. I experience the frustration often, yet because I am a polite person who tries her darndest to be a nice person also, I try to be patient.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I mean, I yell and scream and rant at the slowpoke, but in the confines of my car where the person cannot hear me. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Clearly.</i> I’m patient and polite, yes, but rude and mean I am not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unlike some of the “people” I have encountered in the past month.</span><br>

"I don't think the guards are going to change at all. I think they're just having a chat, and then they're gonna go back inside... <br>
<br>
Guard 1 - Do you know, I don't feel like changing guards today. <br>
<br>
Guard 2 - Oh, really? <br>
<br>
Guard 1 - No, I can't be bothered with it, really. Much better to be inside enjoying a nice cup of tea. <br>
<br>
Guard 2 - But wouldn't that mean that you got all dressed up for nothing? Look, you're in your lovely red uniform and everything. <br>
<br>
Guard 1 - Well, yes. But it was worth it to be able to have a lovely catch-up with you, old chap. <br>

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It was a short but sweet trip, filled with walking, culture and confusion over money.

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Clever brain. Here, have a cup of tea as a reward. <o:p></o:p></span><br>

As of this month, we’ve been working together for 2 years, and I thought we’d be getting along by now. I mean, there’s always a transition phase, and at first I loathed you with every fibre of my being. I know, I know, that’s a pretty harsh statement, but it’s one that I make knowing that you felt the same way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember those times where you would attempt to force my eyelids to shut, even though there was still the rest of the shift and a drive home to get through? And how, for months on end, you insisted I endure those waves of nausea and sore stomachs?</div>
