UPDATE ON BEING A DISPLACED PERSON:
Although this past week has been a trying time, with emotional ups and downs, tension, harsh words aimed at me over a situation I neither caused nor wanted, I have come away with a sense of relief and lightness at having come home at last. Problems seemed to be compounded during the last 2 days, when the main power company refused to sign off on the job due to confusion over names attached to repair bills and power supply bills, not to mention the indignant way I was told I was lying about who I buy my power through. I sometimes wonder what people have running through their minds when they make such silly statements. Finally on Thursday evening at 6.30pm the power company sent 2 workmen out to complete the process of reconnecting my supply and in turn me with my home. These wonderful men said there was no plausible excuse for the tardy delay and couldn't appologise enough. So I lit the fire, put on the kettle and served them a steaming hot coffee in gratitude for bringing balance to my life. All the while, Snake had found a new toy. He began climbing incessantly up and over, in and out of the big work truck. Playing hide and seek with one of the men who had taken a shine to him. They played for a good while until time came to pack up and head off for another job. The man gently lifted Snake down and placed him in my arms. Such a delightful end to an almost mind wrecker of a week. For the words of kindess sent to me through fellow blogger Melbourne Dreaming, I say thankyou, they lifted my spirit and reminded me of my inner strength and ability to keep on keepin on.
