Well, I’ve been abit MIA the last few days. I’ve had such a busy weekend! But it’s been sooo good

Well. It’s Friday again, another working week over. For me at least. I’m not sure about Yasu, he mentioned something last night about working all weekend. We were both hoping that won’t happen. Read more
Had a great time with Dylan today, lots of catching up and gasbagged for 2 hours, before we parted ways. I left him with BBQ chicken pringles that I brought back from Japan (up until about a month ago we couldn’t get chicken flavour in Aus, and now we can get bbq chicken..but only at certain stores..) so he was a happy chappy.
I had fish n’ chips for lunch and a lemon lime and bitters. I actually thought I would drink something alcoholic but I can’t resist a LL&B, and it was 34 outside so it was really refreshing.
Dylan had chicken and leek pie, which certainly looked interesting!
This morning I woke up a bit bleary-eyed after only 4 hours sleep but the way my body works now is that I can’t get back to sleep after I’ve woken up so I just got up and had some tea.
I had three readings in my inbox waiting for me to complete so I got on and did those, then later received some more feedback from each of those ladies to tell me how spot on the reading was. Very happy!
I also got an email from a friend who I keep in touch with on Facebook, who invited me out to lunch tomorrow. He’s actually a friend of an old friend of mine, I used to read his blog when he wrote one, and then we moved our friendship to Facebook. The three of us are all into the same bands and all frequent many of the same pubs, or in my case, I used to.
Anyway we are going to a pub for lunch that I used to frequent in my hey day just about every weekend, looking forward to it too!! I think I’ve earnt a beverage He told me to “watch out for the guy out the front who preaches about the end of the world”…that will be interesting!
I also got my butt into gear with some advertising today. I am basically going along with word of mouth, and I can’t say it’s not working, just that I want to kick it up a notch. I love what I do and I want to do it all day every day, so I have started to advertise the Reiki aspect of my work as well.
Looking online at printing company websites made me realise how expensive some colour and paper is, so I got to and made my own with the help of Metatron.
I printed them out, 60 total. I then cut them out and when Yasu came home asked him if he wanted to accompany me around the neighbourhood. He did. So we walked around and I distributed the flyers in people’s letterboxes.
We saw a cool UFO and a flying orb on the way! It was amazing… a craft with pulsating white lights. The orb just suddenly flew in front of us while we were watching the UFO, and Yasu for once had no answer for what it was. That is the second UFO I have seen this month. There is something going on around here.
Anyway, the walk took us 45 minutes to complete and I managed to get in a good solid block of housing. It was really good exercise too!! Yasu was even saying how we should do it every night. That’s good, because I have way more flyers!!
I could just go the way of online advertising but what guarantee is there that someone will see it? Also, you are paying for someone to click, who might not necessarily buy a reading. But, if you put it in people’s letterboxes chances are they are going to see it when they open their letterbox. That is 60 people per day, definite sights of what I am advertising. If only 10% react then that is 6 readings for me plus the ensuing word of mouth that results.
It makes much more sense to me to advertise this way than to do it online. The best part is I have absolute creative control and it only costs me the ink and paper, which is not even paid for by me.
Anyway, so that was my day. A very productive one for sure. Looking forward to catching up with Dylan tomorrow and having some fun.
I can’t say i’ve really felt like blogging these last couple of weeks. After the miscarriage, i just sort of dropped my bundle abit, and i’ve had bad insomnia, and depression. Yasu didn’t say it was because of the miscarriage, but he sort of became depressed too and had two days off work because of it. I don’t think he even realised why it was himself, but nevertheless, we just moped around here together, which was fine by me as i hate moping around by myself.
We did have a fun weekend this last couple of days. We were meant to be having a bbq with a Japanese friend of Yasu’s and her boyfriend, but she didn’t tell us til the last minute that she had to work Saturday, (even though she knew all week), so she said she wouldn’t get there til later at night. And then, even though her boyfriend has a car and can drive, she asked if Yasu would pick them up! They live north of the river so it was definitely a no-no. I messaged her and said not to bother, but she never replied. Instead preferring to call Yasu to talk to him, which i found a tad rude. I mean everyone else who i messaged and cancelled, texted me back to say that was fine, except her. I don’t know why but there is just something about her that annoys me. Maybe it’s the fact that when she comes over she insists that i “have to speak Japanese”. I told Yasu, no i’m not speaking Japanese if i don’t want to. I just want to relax in my home and sure i can understand what you all say in Japanese but i respond in english. He’s fine with that by the way.
So yeah, i was glad when she wasn’t coming. Yasu and i carried on with our plans and made dinner together and had it out on the patio with a couple of glasses of Midori. It was nice just to spend time together alone, and have a bit of a chat one on one. I felt like it was more of a “date”.
Sunday, it was one of our good friend’s birthday party for her son and for herself. Actually her birthday was on the 11th November and her son who turns 2 is on the 28th November so it was a joint party sort of. As all the women with kids cancelled on the day, no other kids turned up to play, except Yasu, the big kid. So the birthday boy and his brother, and the neighbours kids all had a ball in the cubby house!
There was a lamb on the spit that was cooked to perfection, it melted in my mouth. Yum. And my friends mum got really drunk and kept saying “oh behave” over and over, and then she started singing and wouldn’t stop…it was hilarious. Just the kind of big belly laughs Yasu and I needed. There was also a former colleague of mine there, who got drunk and hit on my friends’ husbands’ brother! All in all we had plenty of laughs and good company, good food, what more could you ask for?
Then today i woke up with a sore throat, and i’ve gradually been losing my voice throughout the day…I can cope with colds but i hate having a sore throat. Mine feels like i’m swallowing razors, it’s so painful. I’ve tried cold and flu pills, swedish bitters, and olive leaf, but so far nothing is working. I’m seeing my doctor tomorrow morning so i guess i might get some antibiotics.
After that i’m off to Ella Bache for a 1 hour facial/massage, which is my little treat to myself after all these crappy weeks i’ve been through…will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for staying reading even for a long time without updates, i appreciate it Have yourselve’s a great day.
