The Pattern of my Life

I like to wake alone,
To lie, and turn to stone.
Comfort me. Oh, come to me. I won't go on.

I like to walk along,
To keep my head screwed on.
Comfort me. Oh, come to me. I won't go on.
Believing
Believing
I believe you might turn from your love.
Wait around.

If I go, I'm alone.
If I stay, it will mean
Waiting on my own.
It's the Pattern of my Life
Wen you care, and you cannot feel,
And you know that it's for real,
So you leave me on my own.
It's the Pattern of my Life.

Take time to be
All this and more to me.
You're the best, so well done you
I won't go on believing
Believing
I believe you might turn from your love.
Wait around.

~Annie Lennox

Went and bought a few needed things last night ... and a couple of things that I normally would have denied myself. Like CD's ... I've always wanted to get some good ones for myself, but always thought that it was a luxury that could wait until later. Well, I've learned to treat myself a little bit. Mainly because things are going to get a bit harder for myself pretty soon.

Next week, my parents are moving to BC. Actually, my mother is going ahead and Albert will follow when he gets better. I'm hoping that Jade will help me drive him home, but if not, I'll take him myself. Who knows? Maybe I won't come back ... no, wait, I'd have to come back for Spot. Poor Spot.

So, I'll have the house all to myself. Just me, and Spot. Until the end of April, and then I'll have a boarder in the basement. She has two dogs ... who are expecting the zoo to still be here ... and they are only going to find Spot here instead. Poor Spot.

So, I've decided to re-vamp things a bit. Give my self a make-over. First, I'm going to teach myself to let go of things. (I'm already getting a lot of practise, eh?) And I'll be going through my house and getting rid of things that no longer match my raised standards. I wonder how much of my stuff will survive? No matter. It will be tossed, or passed on to others. I'm raising the bar. I'm moving on. I'm getting things done.

My tax return (please, be generous!!) will buy me some new furniture, which is much needed right now!, and pay off some bills.

But I'm feeling restless right now, so I'll have to finish this later ...

Sweet Dreams!
