a crazy day...and it's only 11.15am

it's only 11.15am and this day is already a mix of emotions.

i started the day pretty well. i went to sasha's 10th birthday breakfast party. we had ice cream for breakfast. in fact the official spread also included sour lollies, chips and fairy floss (or cotton candy for the north americans). (i should mention that geoff and sandra are away and so this birthday breakfast feast was not necessarily condoned by his parents...but anyway). it was a nice time.

but i am also a little bit sad today. four of my housemates have officially moved out over the last few days. i had to say goodbye to the last two this morning (even though i will see them both next weekend - it was still sad). some of the friendships i have formed are very special. it was the end of something nice. i know that things change in life, but sometimes you just don't really want them too. things happen, things change. sometimes they are only different for a season, sometimes they will never be same again and sometimes you just have to wait and see what will happen and hope that things turn out ok. when things get messed up, you just never know.

but i am also very very excited because in about half an hour i am heading down to buffalo with heather and denise to pick up cath from the airport (cate for the canadians - i am worried i am going to start calling her cate while she is here - i let you know how it goes). it will be great to have her here just to hang out and talk with. sweet.
