Don't Make Plans! / A Change...

Truly, I had to learn again to not make plans! I had planned to let everyone know what happened with the 7's Rugby, and then...I got some or other bug and barely slept, I guess that is what happens when your temps drop to 10C with pouring rain. So now it is ages after the fact, ugh. But, well, I can still celebrate that the Blitzbokke are now the best 7's Rugby team on the planet!  And I can say that the USA and Canada are still getting better with each tournament. They are giving the Southern Hemisphere a go! Also,  England and Scotland are no walk overs either. The final tournament will be held at Twickenham in England this coming weekend and I am not sure who will win there, but the Blitzbokke will be crowned world champions either way, yippee! And of course, to see my Mom smile when we won the title, on Mother's day of all days, well, that made it extra special. How was everyone's weekend? Can anyone still remember, with how fast days go by? I have changed my profile pic, this is the pic I have chosen, they say change is as good as a vacation and I'm not getting a vacation any time soon, so this will have to suffice. Have a great week all.

@jaboUK it's great you'll be working at the races :) , just sorry you won't catch any of the games, 7's Rugby is quite something to witness. I hope you have a great weekend, Janet.

My weekend was awful. I was so sick over not hearing from my boyfriend and it really has not gotten any better. Today is a nice day out so I am just going to focus on that.

@bluesa He stopped by last night to put my air conditioner back in for me that he took out but that was all. He took it out in the owner without my permission. If I don't see him again at least I won't sweat so bad the summer as I have been the last two days.

@shaggin , I just don't understand how he thinks it is okay to switch off like that. All I can say is thank goodness he put the air conditioner back and I wish you much strength through all this.

@shaggin , it is awful when you know that something is not right and that person will not just admit it. I hope he will contact you and let you know what is going on. Till then, try to enjoy the lovely weather

Congratulations to your team!!!! I'm thrilled they made your mother smile on Mother's Day of all days!!!! What a special gift that was for her. I hope your meds get you well very, very soon. I have to admit, for someone as sick as you, you look beautiful in your new photo! Your skin is radiant and love the shades!

Hi @Kandae11, thank you! Yeah, as I asked how everyone's weekend was, I realised many might not remember much about those two days. I hope you had a great Mothers day though.

@bluesa My mother lives overseas, but we spoke on the phone for a long time - In any event I usually speak to her every day. My only child - a son, works in the city , and he was working on that day, therefore my Mothers' Day wasn't like most others I should think.
