what's in store for you in the month of june?

monday morning again. ahhhhhh....

i had a good weekend, i think, because i feel........... rested. that tight knot on my shoulder is softer this morning, but i am still harbouring a secret desire to park my behind, and the rest of the carcass, at some spa hidden away from the hustle bustle.

had a nice morning catching up on the weekend postings of other bloggers and dropped a few lines here and there. yawn! now, my turn to fire away. another 5 days of blogging before it's another week.

it's june now and that's almost half the year down the drain. i was thinking about what i have done so far and what had happened this year, but i guess it's still early in the year and i will think about how far i have come only at the end of it.

june is a funny month. may has been relatively quiet, with all my friends missing in action, especially when i needed a warm voice of concern or the touch of a friendly hand. the absence was almost deafening. still, i survived.

but june is a different matter. people that i haven't talked to for a long time called me out of the blue. notice that i didn't use the term friends, because they were mostly business acquaintances. and when those people give you a call, you can be sure that they are not concerned about how you have been lately or what's the latest in your life. the very idea of answering the calls fill me with such dread. there must be something that they are a-wanting.

errr...i actually avoided one of the calls but he was quite a persistent little fella. sigh! anyway, these people are really strange. because they cannot take no for an answer. i had to come up with half a thousand reasons why i can't meet up with them; doesn't want to will be more like it but robin will be clucking his tongue and reminding me not to be too rude again. so, i toned it down and spent half an hour each to turn down their invitation. see, robin, i have been a good girl. maybe it's just me, but i just don't enjoy sitting there for half a day whilst some people pretend to want to know me better when they have some hidden agenda up their sleeves.

a meeting up of another sort also cropped up in this month of june. my cousin, which i was pretty close with when i was younger, invited us for lunch with her family. now, that one was nice. we have never been able to find the opportunity to have a get-together and i am really glad we did it last weekend. ahhh...the warmth of someone who cares. people tend to take things like that for granted but i have too far and few in between so i love it when these warm and sincere get-togethers happen.

and this week, i will be meeting up with an old friend and an ex. i let the ex tag along for old times sake, so that he can see how well i am doing. hmmm....spiteful? no, more just like a reunion for reunion's sake. a meeting that was supposed to happen ages ago but i guess everybody, with the strange exception of me, has been just too busy. anyway, it should be interesting....if just to see how he has grown, physically if not mentally. ha ha ha. another supposedly spiteful remark. i really should make more of an effort to keep it down *wry grin*. but it will be good because i get to see my old friend too, whose friendship has grown apart after all these time. it's a little sad when you think about friendships changing and fading like that, but at least i had the good times.

i also have another scheduled for the end of this month....hopefully. crossing my fingers. i have not met him since primary school so i am very curious to meet up again. (this is not the same 'him' as the above). i can't honestly say i remember how he looked like then, and even his old photo in the year book looks strangely alien to me. 22 years...that's a lot of catching up to do.

people i have not seen or talked to in ages......june seems to be a promising month.

ok. have a good week ahead everybody.
