God makes beauty from ashes

I lost my phone on a bus somewhere a few days ago (aargh!!!) and had to start over again. Although I did go to the Vodaphone store and ask to keep my existing number (which would have made things sooooo much easier) when the helpful Salesman looked up my number 'on the system' and asked for my name, he then nodded slowly, sucked in his breath and said "sorry...you're not authorised to make any changes to that account, it was opened with someone else's details" And I remembered that 5 years ago, Jonathan got the sim for me because I was spending the day with friends out on a boat and Jon wanted to stay in the city and 'check out the Apple Mac store' instead. I explained that we were now divorced and how much it would help to keep my existing number, but to no avail. So, *sigh* I've had the annoying task of calling Doctors, Centrelink, the people I pay bills to, Bank of Queensland (who I'm paying off my Apple laptop loan to), Medicare, Univ...

First of all, let me tell you he drives me crazy. He drives me freakin' nuts! He takes my frayed nerves and joyfully shakes them with all his might at the worst of times. But he always does it with a 'cheeky chappy' grin. So I cant stay mad for long. We fight sometimes. We get on each other's nerves. We have times where we shake our heads at each other and think "omg you are such an idiot"...our relationship isnt perfect. But we have more times where we laugh until our tummies hurt. We dance together in the kitchen. We always cuddle on the sofa every evening. We change positions, but we're always entwined somehow. We hold hands. We get each other's sense of humour and like the same songs/bands. We stay in contact with each other and talk throughout the day every day. It's not stifling or clingy - it's brief but really nice because we're connected. I'd say our relationship is 40% shared joy/happiness 5% challenging 10% arguing/...
