I spent last night over at my boyfriends. With one of my usual IBS fueled stomachaches, I had packed my hot water bottle and we stayed in to watch The Apprentice. I guess it is kind of sad, but I really look forward to that each week. I am not a big television lover, but I enjoy that, and afterwards, we watched another from my small handful of favourites, Glee. I was never interested in seeing that programme to begin with, but as the stories have progressed, it has got better and better. The writing is so superior to a lot of the pap on the box and it does that thing which not all comedy shows can manage - to effectively cross over from the funny to the serious seamlessly. Last night's show was very emotional. Sue Sylvester really is a television gem.
I went out for lunch again today. I met two close friends and we sat outside in a small patio garden in the sunshine. We then wandered through the shops, and finished off with a drink in the pub. My mum has not been feeling so well since yesterday, so somewhere in between all of that, I popped into a shop and bought her a present. She has been such a great help lately that I wanted to get her a treat to cheer her up.
When reading today's cards, I guess that 'fortune' is dependent on what we consider the riches in life to be. The two cards could have something to do with feedback from our estate agent. Apparently, the woman who visited a few days ago loves our house and will put in an offer when she sells her own. On our part, there is a 'hope' that this will happen soon. However, fortune runs deeper than pounds, shillings and pence for me. I had such a good time with my two friends today and it was also nice to make my mother smile with her new handbag. It is interesting that the figures in both cards have blindfolds on. Maybe we are often blind to the fortunes we already hold within our hands.
