1. Wednesday last week find out I have a sick Grandmother. She had a fall.
2. Thursday morning last week I decide to become “New Zealand and Australia Escort”
3. Thursday afternoon last week (amid packing to come North) shit hits fan with Paul.
4. Shortly thereafter Im driving North somewhat homeless.

Another day in the life of Sally.

Its now Tuesday. Grandmother is on the mend. The xrays I took her for on Friday showed 2 fractures in her spine. Shes also had serious stomach problems. I was able to to spend plenty of time with her until yesterday morning when I woke up with my own dreaded lurgy. Now we’re both feeling sorry for ourselves and I need to keep my distance so she doesnt add what Ive go to her list of ailments. Ive set up the phone in my room so we can chat though . I dearly love my Grandmother. At nearly 95yo the reality of her not being with us for too much longer is getting closer to home. She’s decided she’d like to be around another 2 years. 2 years is going to fly.

The big move to Pauls lasted less than 3 weeks. My envisaged “we’re going to drive each other batty” proved correct. Nevermind.

Before taking on my apartment I spent nearly a year living primarily out of my suitcase. The novelty wore off eventually but Im in the mood again. Voyager has a storage unit I can share so most of everything I own is going to remain in boxes for awhile.

My big idea Thursday morning proved perfect timing and has been my project the past few days. My site has now been updated with new services, rates and availability. Ive also set up a stunning RSS/email system which interested parties can register with to stay posted on my travels. This is for those who prefer to wait until Im in town rather than requesting my company. Its quite fantastic!

Im now Sally of no fixed abode available ANYWHERE in New Zealand and Australia with 48 hours notice! My new rates include my travel expenses. Im mightily excited! With launch I have announced trips to Christchurch, Sydney and Melbourne. Melbourne has been on the cards for awhile but the other two Ive just thrown in .

Note added: Ive had that “Im leaving on a Jet Plane” song humming in my head (when Im not whistling it) the past few days. Can someone tell me who the original singer was?
