Feeling Good

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin on by you know how I feel

(refrain:)
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

(refrain)

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done

Thats what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel


Did you ever have a song that just summed up how you felt? God bless shuffle on iTunes. Whilst I am tired and avoiding thinking about Saturday, my overall mood is great! The kid is out sick again today, in her defence she is suffering pretty badly with the infection, whatever it is. She had her doctor's appointment yesterday and she is on meds for it. Of course with Mammy2 she acts fine and when I get home she's curled up in bed with the pain. I think she thinks I am a sucker for her crying and going on about being sore. Of course she's right, once she turns on those tears I have no choice but to make tea or fuss over here. Damn her for knowing my weak spots.

Mammy2's family continue to surprise me. She was at her uncle
's funeral mass and burial yesterday. Her uncle died in Australia last month and his ashes were brought back to Ireland to be buried in the family plot. Everyone went out afterwards for lunch and drinks and one of the aunties Mammy2 knows well came over and gave her a big hug and said "Your mother told me about you, and I'm so happy for you. I have to meet this woman of yours". I'm still in shock. Apparently Mammy2's mammy loves me. Which can only be a good thing! For her to accept me is one thing, to actually be telling other family members as if not to care what they think is amazing. She really has come a long way. I suppose after nearly 9 years its starting to sink in that this might be serious.

The physio man reckons I am fine for training and the shoulder is grand, just some nerve issues which he has given me excercises and posture stuff to do. You never realise how you sit until someone points it out to you. So I have a ton of excercises to do and I can continue to train. I told the
mate J my plan was get in shape and back to the level of fitness I am happy with my christmas and then from there go for my first belt. I like to have something to aim for. She seems all set for it. We caught up last night and had a lovely evening swapping stories of Italians and Italy in general. She'd been there counting dolphins on some island and the poor thing was traumatised from the ferry ride there and back. She is entertaining thoughts of training on Sat morning but this depends on tomorrow night and the ruggers. I really hope we either win or put some sort of performence whereby we have pride in our jersey. We are so all over the place at the moment its ridiculous. When all else fails I suppose, I can just admire Michelak. The man is so lovely!



Tonight we are heading to see Panti's play. I'm really looking forward to it. It was a spur of the moment thing as I was supposed to be meeting up with the mate C and as he cancelled, I decided I'd like to see something in the fringe festival. As luck would have it Panti's play is showing until Sat so I booked 2 tickets for us to go tonight. A show
and lots of qt with Mammy2 should be the makings of a great night. I feel like I haven't seen her all week.
