I Made a Friend

My computer is sick...so I am having to wait on my B to bring his Laptop home so that I can play....And then I have to wrestle him to the ground to get time on it..he thinks its foreplay...hee hee.

So, for the last two days, I have had to keep myself occupied. So what do I do best, I paint. To the utter horror of my Mom and maid, Lizzy, I put on my "workgear" and pulled out the paint brushes, rollers and paint. "What are you doing?" my mother cried in horror. "I am painting" I responded with pride. "B is going to kill us" exclaims Lizzy whilst she walks away panicking that she will be in trouble.


Needless to say, I continued on my mission. I painted the newly built wall, then proceeded to paint the gate my B built on the weekened. Still not satisfied, I painted our fireplace.


Silence filled the air as my B arrived at home...Mom and Lizzy slunk away to avoid any potential arguments and I firmly stood my ground. B says "What are you doing?"...I put on my famous manipulative smile and said "I am painting"...to which he responded with a smile. He knows better than to mess with the "Brat". I, for the first time in almost two weeks, felt worthy. I did something instead of sit around on my lazy arse. Mission accomplished


So today, I was in for another surprise. One of the ladies from the Fertilicare forum had contacted me and wanted to get together for coffee. I was so happy. Since moving to JHB, I have not had many opportunities to make friends. Other than people at work, I do not tend to socialise outside of the family circle. I come from a large circle of friends in Durban and all my life have had this network of loving friends. So it was a little lonely in JHB without them.


The day started with her picking me up and taking me out...yippeee....freeeeeddddoooommmm. We went down to the JHB Waterfront for coffee. Then picked up her two girls and they came back to my house to swim. Munchkin got to meet my darling B. It was nice to have time out with a friend. This infertility has made me very closed up. So making friends is not always easy.


The most common reason for making friends is having stuff in common. I feel like monotony has sent into my personality with this infertility. So knowing that someone understands without having to say a word is wonderful


So Thanks Munchkin....welcome to my world
