Booked!

I woke up early and excited. Mind you, I had a restless night with all sorts of thoughts blasting through my dream zone. I sat with the 'invite to book' email and rechecked everything. An extra clincher was that the host does paddling (on a kayak-not like my ankles in a swimming pool) I scanned my body for fear before I clicked anything. I was holding my breath a little. I checked the dates (again) and felt happier booking for one month only. The second month will be considered later.

Click.

Bank card details.

Confirmed.

Relief.

When the relief is that instant, I know it's the right thing. I was surprised by the feeling in a way, because I hadn't felt particularly tense or maybe it was subconscious.

The bitter Highveld cold returned today, with a windy vengeance just to remind me of how awful the weather can get. But I was smiling. Okay, still under 4 layers of clothes but a smile nogal. Tomorrow I get my car from it's service and hopefully the wind is calmer than what's chasing around the trees now.

Fortunately sister can make a mean fire. I'm off to smile myself to sleep.
