G'day Friends,
Well, today was a great day, that consisted of me getting to sleep at about 2am (cursed nap yesterday afternoon), and then waking up just a little before 8am this morning.
I started the day with a 5km run down to Mrs MacQarie's Point and back, and then made myself a breakfast off fried eggs on toasted home-made bread.
I'd not long finished breakfast, showered and was relaxing on the sofa, when Casey messaged me to see if I wanted to go for a bit of exercise in the park, so we went for a walk down through the domain and Art Gallery, along the western side of Woolloomooloo Bay, around Mrs MacQuarie's Point, then through the Gardens before heading back home via the Art Gallery gates.
I then came home for lunch, followed by receiving a call from Donna who told me that Suzie, the 7yo Bichon Frise that I had enquired about, had already been promised to some people, but that they were not answering the messages that she had left for them. Donna told me that if she didn't hear back from them by tonight, then she'd call and let me know that I could take Suzie. She wasn't willing to have Suzie miss out on coming to my home as well, if these people had decided not to take her.
So after a well deserved hour and a half of napping, and a good old chat to Mum, I was just in the process of finishing my dinner and watching Grand Designs, when my phone rang, and it was Donna calling to say that I was going to be Suzie's new Dad :).
I've hired a car and will be going to pick her up tomorrow morning :) I'm so excited about taking her in, and it means that I get the Bichon Frise that I wanted, and she gets a stable home :).
Well, that's about my news for the day. Tomorrow should be a great day as, in addition to collecting Suzie, I meet my Compeer friend for the first time, with his social worker and Amy, the Compeer co-ordinator, then I help out with the Redfern Task Force tomorrow evening. Such a busy day, but a productive one, so I'm pretty excited about it in all.
Ok, I'll sign off for now. I hope you've all had a great weekend :)
