Cake, Jumper Leads and Departure Dates

Oh I really need to do this every day, because I'm getting to the point of actually having things to say every day! And then I actually get around to blogging, and feel like I have a million things to say. Mind you, I'll get to the end of this and wonder where all those interesting things went ;)

So I settled down after Wednesday. I had a really good day with J on Thursday, and by the end of that...was back to normal. Hmm. I am praying about what to do next. Oh, I have been getting migraines still since seeing my chiropractor on Thursday, so I am going to make an appointment with my GP to get a referral to a specialist. So perhaps I will talk to her about anxiety stuffs aswell.

Had coffee (and way too yummy cake) with Tony on Friday night. I was supposed to be working Saturday, but got a call early Friday evening saying they had been quiet, and Frank was cutting hours for that week. Right...that's okay except that was my ONE shift for the entire week! Ah, the joys of being a casual. Anyway, it had it's upsides as I was then free to be as late as I wanted with Tony and not worry about getting home to bed early-ish. We had a really good chat and have decided it needs to be a regular occurance :) I *may* have left my lights on and flattened Noofy's battery, but only because I was running late and in such a hurry to meet Tony that I wasn't thinking straight! Or something like that. Tony being the great guy he is, had jumper leads, and jump started Noofy for me :)
Side note: Thomas, you need to get lessons off this guy. You know how you stood there for about 20 minutes reading the instructions, and then had to RING YOUR DAD?! Tony did it all within 5 minutes ;) If you are going to be my friend, you need to know how to jump start a car, boof ;)
End side note.

Yesterday I slept in and had a VERY lazy morning, before heading down to my uncle and aunty's to help them move house. That was...boring :P But glad I could help.
Came home about 6 with a mild headache, watched The Santa Clause 2 which is to cute for words, and went to bed at 8.45pm with a full blowm migraine. Eh!

Off to J's church tonight. I am surprisingly calm. If you can be petrified and calm at the same time :P I think it's just that they are all so much older than me, you know? And probably sophisticated and worldy and classy and then here comes little ol' Beth, who has no clue about anything! No it will be fine *smiles* Do you believe me? :P

So, big news of the weekend: I am booked on a flight headed for Thailand on the 29th of April next year, and shall return on the 13th of May. My Dad's response was..."what?! where did that come from?!", so if you have had the same; don't worry :P
Dave and Von mentioned to me about a month ago that they were heading over, and would I interested in going with them. I said maybe, and would think about it. Then we chatted about it a bit more the Saturday night J and I were there for dinner, and I said I was very interested. Friday night I get a message from Dave saying he was online, and had found cheap flights...should he book me one? I really had no hesitations at all, so said yep! And yesterday I got confirmation that they were all booked, and I had better get a passport!
I have been thinking about doing something like this for the last few months, and it is definitely a God thing that Dave and Von are doing this and have invited me. I wanted to go overseas, not with my family, to see that there is another world outside of my own, preferably before I settled down with a partner. So not a coincidence that this is all happening weeks into a new relationship, and one which we are both relatively sure will go the distance ;)
I'm not sure of definite plans yet, but I know we will be spenidng a few days in a refugee camp that Dave and Von have a bit to do with, and also spending some time just holidaying.
It hit me driving home yesterday. I sent J a message saying "crap. I'm going to Thailand." :P It is a good thing, and a God thing, and I am excited beyond words and it is going to be amazing and something which I will always treasure. But it is big and scary and CRAP! :P There are all these underlying fears which I could spend my time worrying about, but on top of them, I have a peace about it, because I know it is a God thing.
So, yes...all very exciting :)

And now I really need to get my butt into gear and go and shower!

1 sleep til my birthday :)
Eeeee!
