Sales in the shop were surprisingly fabulous. I say surprisingly because sales were steady, but not overly busy all morning. I wasn’t expecting such a big total when I added up the takings!
We closed the shop right on 1pm and came home to put Ossobuco in the slow cooker. I had afternoon plans and didn’t want to cook afterwards.
I prepared a quacamole dip to take with me and mixed up a vodka and tonic - my first alcoholic drink in 4 months.
I met my girls at 4pm and had two hours of fun and frivolity, feeding our faces, sipping alcohol, laughing, joking, planning, venting, sharing, snorting and reminiscing.
It was the perfect afternoon for bonding girlie style.
Upon my return home I found a message from my newly engaged Vegan Chickie asking me if I was ready for surprise number two ...
It took her such a long time to fall pregnant the first time and she needed fertility drugs to do so, but this pregnancy happened almost instantly and now we have one very happy Melbourne family enjoying a double celebration!
I figure the speed with which she fell is the universe saying “this is right”.
The first time was overwhelmingly emotional for me, probably because of their struggle to get there, and of course being a first time grandmother is extremely special. This one feels very comfortable and calming.
Let’s hope COVID-19 takes a hike soon so that I can head to Melbourne and meet my future son-in-law before the wedding!
I spent the following hour telling all the important people.
Now I’m emotionally and physically exhausted lol so I’m off to sleep right on the stroke of midnight.
Nite all.
