Am I hurting LOL. Every bone in my body hurts. I think even my eyelashes are hurting LMAO!! I think its called exhaustion.....
I m not complaining. I m happy to be so busy, and with nice customers. Some I ve known now since the bar first opened, some who were new.And one very, very large familty in particular They came in last week (between 15 and 25 of them ) and they have been coming in every night since. They have a couple more days of holiday left so...happy daze .
I ll take a night off when they leave
Last night, after work, I went to a friends bar for a drink before going home. My flatmate had visitors staying overnight ( her b/f AND his 2 ...) and i didnt want to bang into them (my excuse anyway lol).
Being late, (theres a secret "knock code" ) there were only a few in the bar. One mental Finnish girl who completely lost the plot and went stratospheric. Not in a good way either Christ alone knows what she was on (certainly a mix of drugs and drink)but it wasnt good. It reminded me again that all the weirdos come out after a certain time lol. Scarey time is from 3AM .

My eyes are closing and I reallllllly need some sleep. I just need to get through the next few days .

Night night all..stay safe..and (dont) be good

A -seriously sleepy - Diz xxx

The way the mind works eh? It fascinates me. Thankfully I ve had and am having a fairly busy time. I dont think I ll ever get over the feeling of amazement when people still keep coming back - and the way they react. Sometimes I could curl up with embarrasment. I really struggle with being the focus of attention.
For me, I dont think I m doing anything special or different, but I guess they think differently. Anyway, that wasnt the point of this blog .

The Mind LOL. Focus woman, focus!!

The last few weeks have been very emotional. For lots of reasons. Mostly not mine PMSL. Basically because I dont get to think about mine till days or even weeks later. By then, I ve gone through the whole knee-jerk thing, gone with feelings that perhaps were too deeply buried for far too long and just.blam!!! All came to the surface again. And being so gobbbbby (grins) I just let it all out.
Damaging? Perhaps. Regretted? No. Happy? Absolutely.

Whilst I was so frazzled listening to everyone elses gripes, complaints, moaning and groaning, my subconscious was working on my own. Woke up and hey...! resolved.
No more frustration, anger or not understanding. Knowing the "why", and at peace with it. I always have to know the "why" . Then I m good with it.

Lessons learned, barriers back in place, and a liddddle bit wiser.
All good

Its 4:02 a.m.....

And now on to the Fifth Stage

Nite nite all.
Keep the faith

a calm - happy...peaceful Dizz

Actually I ve been home a while. Closed up around 1 30a.m., early but felt pretty tired (and no night off this week ) Got home and my flamate - who is as mental, no, much worse than me - and her boyfriend were home so we ve spent a fair bit of time sitting on the balcony and chatting. With wine and beer of course LOL.
No night off this week because I have a good bunch of very nice people and they dont like it when I close..plus for me its good biznizz so hey..I can manage a few days more
Just not quite sure how many more days . Even my bones ache - and not from unusual positions either PMSL. No positions at all (sob).
I did get propositioned by a very tall..verrry tall guy who wanted to give me a massage but I think we had slightly different takes on the word "massage" . Mannnn...what is wronggg with me? .

Anyway..my bed is calling. Loudly. And my wine glass is almost empty so I guess its time to snuggle up (which is impossible..still too bloody hot). And tomorrow the temp is ising again. Even a sheet is tooooo much

Night night all.
A very...achey dizz xxxx

Dunno really LOL. Its been such a long time that I think I ve forgot how to.And dont give me a smart arse comment like "its just like riding a bike". I knowwwww how to ride a bike .

I ll start from now

The bar is going ok..meeting some weird (very weird) and wonderful people. By that, I probably mean "normal" PMSL.
Actually its a lot of fun - some days, or nights, I should say, more so than others but I m not tired of it yet . I do have the odd "Fubar" moment (fucked up beyond alllll recognition)but hey ho..shit happenz. And that can be fun too

The flip side is is that you very rarely have headspace for yourself. I get home in the wee small hours of the morning, then spend another hour chilling out on my balcony, and fall into bed anywhere between 4 and 5am. Up around 11 or 12, another hour or so to wake up , get organised, do the ordering, and pfffft..suddenly its back to work again. Work being priest(ess) - go figure ..definitely the wrong one for THAT PMSL. Agony aunt, marriage advisor, peace keeper, psychiatrist, devils advocate..whatever LOL. Oh yes...and egg shell walker

I learned a very big and important lesson very early on. But ant be arsed right now. Next time maybe

More later...time for my balcony ( almost 4am LOL..home early-ish tonight).

Nite nite all.
A very..dizzcombobulated Diz xxx

Jeez. Almost 4 am. Again LOL. Although I have been home for about half an hour and chilling out with a wine or two .
Might even be three by now but no..I think two

Its been a brilliant week. Completely off the wall and manic but a lot of fun. Lot of hard work too but thats what I want
It WILL quieten down soon but until it does I m happy to spend the late nights - the customers are pretty nice people and its a pleasure to meet them and have a laugh with them.
Being in a tourist area means there´s a whole mixture of nationalities and sometimes it take a while to get on the different wavelengths but..its cool
Every day is an adventure and a complete unknown..love it

Great ego boost too..have never been chatted up so much in my life LOL...everyone loves a barmaid or wench....
THAT was pretty dizzcombobulating at first but now I can handle it

Maybe I should have called the bar "Dizzys´"

A sleepy..off to bed and snuggling...Dizz xxx

Having given up (more or less) the corporate tussle and hassle crap, I, with the help of a very very good friend, bought a bar. Uh huh. A bar

And brilliant it is too!! Had, and still, in some cases, have no clue what I m doing but..its gret fun finding out.

I have learned, tho:-

1. Fighting with barrels of beer is no good. They ALWAYS win

2. The customer..is absolooootely NOT always right..and they always win ( coz I let them Mostly anyway LOL.

3: Men really can t aim straight

3. Closing at 1 a.m. means you still get home around 3 (or 4) a.m

4. Vampires DO exist..there are some scarey people out there after midnight. (thats the bit thats NOT fun)

more later

A...dizzy diz xx

Soooo....here we are. 2010. Thank Godddd 2009 has been laid to rest. Finally.

Maybe over the next couple of days I ll go back and read my own blog..see if it was as tumultuous as I think it was
A big learning curve for sure.

I cant say it was all bad..it wasnt. There were some high points. Some not so high points and some down right low points but hey - everything is for a reason right?

Now..the old b/s about what doesnt kill you makes you stronger - in a word..bollox . It just takes you a while to realise that youre not, in effect, dead . Which is a bonus I guess .

For some strange reason, 2009 was catharitic. It feels as if all the old demons have been put to rest, and life is about to start on that famous Stage 4 I feel a lot different in myslf - in a good way. Maybe thats what 2009 was all about..getting through that last bit of that particular tunnel. Like a snake shedding its old skin is how it feels.

Regrets? One or two..but that is also a part of the journey.
Where will it lead? Where will the journey take me next? Where will it end?

Who knows.

Guess its time to buckle up and find out

A - bemused, cheerful, Diz xxx

Its funny how life twists and turns.
The heat here is tremendous, and last night,around about midnight, I decided to go to the beach

Not quite as daft as it sounds - there is a "feria" on in the village and the music, very loud music, goes on until the wee small hours As the saying goes, if you cant beat em, join em.

Theres a small bar on the beach ( more of a shack really),about 20 metres from the shore and maybe 200 metres from my house (dangerous ) and I toddled off to it.

Ice cold vodka, lotttts of ice, an attempt at tonic, and my feet in the sea. Heaven. Bliss .

Theres nothing quite like having nothing in front of you when youre in contemplation mode. Just looking out at a huge nothing. Endless sea. The waves uncceasing, back and forth. Just..nothing.

Eventually I came to the conclusion (probably at the bottom of the glass ) that there have been 4 very major times in my life that have changed me.

The first was when I was on the train, waiting for it to leave the station and bring me to Spain. My dad on the platform, sobbing, and me hardening my heart and willing myself to stay sat still, and the train to move. Now.

The second was when I walked out of my marriage.

The third, when I met a very special person, who, whether he stays in my life or not, I will always be very grateful to have known at all .

The fourth..I m living now.

Perhaps it was the calming influence of the beach, the sea, the gentleness of the night, I dont know. But I feel at peace with the world.

Diz xx

Not ALL ideas are good ones .

Yesterday (was it yesterday?)I was in the mountains, wearing as little clothing as possible because of the heat (grins..lets just leave it there shall we? hmm?? ) and mannnnn..it was so so soooo damn hot.
Spent far too many hours watching guys measuring apartments, muttering amongst themselves, and basically not doing much more . It only took me about 2 hours to choose the furniture and fabrics, then another 2 for lunch, and it was exhaustiing.

Once home, I took a longggg cold..really, really, REALLY cold shower. It felt wonderful. Almost orgasmic lol. So much so, I took another really, really, REALLY cold shower just before bed.

I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. Head didnt work, body didnt work, everything felt heavy and muzzy. First thing I thought was... "Swine Flu!!" I m dying!!
Then I calmed down and realised it couldnt be that because I havent had a meeting with Chief Pig himself for a few days so...phewww!!...panic over

Upshot..still feel like crap but..no time to rest for a week or two

A ..silly..Diz xx

Do nothing .

My world..such as it is..was tilted off its axis this morning.
I was expecting it, but didnt know which form it would take.

It was devasting.

I wont know the outcome for a week, and I cant, and wont, do anything about it - the decision is not mine to make.

I suppose its one of those life changing times. Well, theres no suppose about it. It IS one of those life changing times.

Change is good. As one era ends, another begins.
This is one of those eras.
One thing is for certain, I wont be on the course I am on now.
I just dont know which course I WILL be on.

Que será, será.

A - very tilted - diz xx
