It's Less than 24 hours since I last wrote and you guessed it... I'm on a plan... AGAIN!!
This day started waaaaaaay too early... DAMN that dreadul, chirpy tune that woke me up at 05am leading me to violence with my beloved blackberry - have you notice that no matter what tune you choose, the alarm is still the enemy... the evil villain that kidnaps you from your precious sleep.
But with every evil villain there's a superhero to the rescue and in this case... MY CAPPUCINO!
And not only does it rescue me, but it also rescues all those that crosss my path in the 1st hour of the day; and today.... a rather chaotic, high-pressured, stressful day...
SO..... Emotion... could you possibly, ever so kindly, leave me the hell alone... JUST for today.
I mean, it's a curse at times being a women, that is more proned to becoming emotional. When it comes to the work place it's a real challenge some days to LOCK IT UP!!
You never know when its going to poke its ugly head in and threaten to sensitize you to EVERYTHING .... EVERY TINY LITTLE THING that happens that day.
I wish we had a button for it ... Because dont get me wrong, I do still want it... very much so ... but just a LITTLE less when I'm at work please!!!

You can't have it all..... but you can certainly try!!!!
How time flies.... & speaking of flying I'm on a plane .... AGAIN... flying away, away, away from my love... (WHATS NEW!!!)
So soon we'll be resorting to bbm, facebook wall posts and free BB email for the occassional, but necessary, "I miss you so much" , "Can't wait to be back in your arms"..... which, let's face it, after some time becomes frustrating; and doesnt seem to QUITE convey how much you REALLY do actually miss him!
It's at that point i start to really appreciate the fact that I'm lucky enough to have a boyfriend who is understanding of my career and it ridiculous demands of my time. A career that takes me away from him WAY too much and when I'm home.... leaves me so completely and utterly buggered at times that I end up passing out on his (rather muscular) chest in front of the TV, early oon a Sunday evening!!
(from ZERO hangover, from ZERO partying the night before - might I add!)
And yes!! I DO consider myself lucky and am VERY grateful that I even have a boyfriend... let alone an understanding and supportive one, as many of my colleagues (similar-aged young ladies, with similarly demanding careers) have NO boyfriend at all, OR battle to hold down a relationship due to the nature of their careers!
BUT...... don't get me wrong. That doesn't automatically make me his slave or anything... There aint no emotional blackmail going on here. I'll admit that sometimes I reach a point where I'm borderline suffering from a guilt trip, but not nearly enough to result in me running aound constantly trying to express my love for him, doing favours and what-not to re-assure him of my commitment.....
I don't feel guilty, I don't.... I WON'T feel guilty for having a career that's demanding!
Well now you're probably thinking I'm saying this BECAUSE deep down somewhere.... I'm possibly at that borderline..... feelling a little guilty as we speak!
But hey!!! as they say:
You can't have everything in life - the career, the love of your life... AND plenty free time to enjoy it all!!
HOWEVER.... you can certainly try!! "I" can certainly try....
(Don't tell me I can't have it or can't do it!!)
So here's to me.... giving it a go! Wish me luck, I'll let you know :)
