It seemed that my HP Higher Power (not the sauce in the UK hahahaha) had a special like for me this weekend.
So many things went my way, little things. The angels were with me and they showed themselves to be helping out.
Saturday morning I went for breakfast with a friend down on the boardwalk, its wet season here (tropics) and a monsoon is coming in. It looked bright enough so I took my motorbike, I never ride in the rain. So it didn't rain, and the breakfast was nice and bright and beautiful.
My husband is a professional sportsman and he was 'working' on Saturday afternoon. The rain held off until just the right moment. He had some very good winning episodes which earned him some extra money this weekend. Just when we needed the extra money.
That night we went to dinner and had no reservations. Again to the boardwalk to a nice greek restaurant. I decided I wanted to sit inside, there was one table left not reserved so we took it. Again, the monsoon hit with ferocity and everyone outside had to abandon ship and stand around in side while we continued our evening. It had settled by the time we left for our car but still raining hard. I kicked off my shoes and jogged through the street giggling at running through puddles soaking wet. We were laughing and wet when we got in the car. Not too good for the sheep skin seatcovers but we were happy enough. Husband offered to run and get the car (he can run faster than this massive hunk of woman) but I said I didn't want to miss out on the fun.
Sunday we went to the shops for our favourite sushi on the cheap day. Husband accidentally bumped a car next to him with his hip and the mirror fell off!!!!! He wanted to sneak away (It was a very old broken down car)... I said no we can't do that. Leave a note with our names or soemthing. Poor things, come back to their car broken (then I saw half of it was taped together anyway). I remembered back to one of my ex partners. I remembered the past me doing something very nasty involving brake fluid and a nice paint job on a car of a person that had done something nasty to us. In the essence of step 8, I was not going to let another person find a broken piece of car without owning up to it. Husband managed to fix the mirror on the car in a manner of seconds.
We went to sushi train. We did not get served for ages as the area was not cleared from the last patrons. Eventually we sat down and began to get plates from the train. After a long time we were served for drinks etc. The lady took the plates, including the plates we had already eaten from (you get the plates counted when you ae finished to determine your bill), we told her... those are our plates... she smiled. I said it a second time, you just took our plates that we have eaten. She smiled again and said, would you like to order anything now. We looked at each other and shrugged. WE tried. We ordered and she took away some of our plates!!!!! I said "Thankyou universe and angels for a cheaper lunch"
We then headed to a travel expo (free entry), and saw in the parking lot was paid parking from a vending machine. I was scrounging for coin when a man from a car next to us came over and gave us his left over ticket, still wtih 2 hours on it!!!!! WOW!!! I do that all the time for people and no one has ever done it for me!!!!! Thankyou again. When we were done there was still an hour on it, so I put it back in the coin slot of the machine as I usually do.
When we got home, I knew my husband really wanted to have a smoke of pot. I could see it in his eyes. I didnt' say anything, I gave him a hug and a smile. He sat next to me and watched a movie instead. I knew he didnt smoke because he is respecting my boundaries.
The angels were with me this weekend. I could feel them with me, and I could see their actions. It was a nice weekend.
Oksie, What a lovely weekend! It's nice to hear everything went so well and you had such a good time. Yep, sounds like HP was definitely with you all the way! Thanks for sharing.
