Oh lord. What a week and it's only Hump Day! i feel like I've climbed a mountain, not a hump to get here! I swear, I'm knackered!

I've had deadlines for the majority of the week. With today being the quietest of all. Migraines abound everywhere, due to bad timings and chiros not being available when I was. Suffice to say, after a running migraine since Sunday morning, I promptly MADE time for him on MOnday night when I couldn't bear the thumping head anymore! Anyways, because of my two week hiatis, I have a sore hip and a stiff neck, but back on the road to recovery.

Life has been fine, though a little rocky. Sometimes I feel like G and I are a little further apart than I want to be. We seem to have a lot of disagreements, we forget to think of each other and we end up hurting each other without thinking - because we dont think of each other. Vicious cycle. Anyways, I think we're on track again, which never takes a lot of work to do. We always make time for each other. it's just like that for us. I think we'll be heading away for the Queens Birthday weekend in a c ouple of weeks, for a nice long weekend romantic getaway. We did it last year and it did the trick :) A nice spa bath, a huge big bed, lovely surrounds and no one to annoy us :) We need it. We deserve it.

PArty, party, PARTY for the rest of the week. The boss announced yesterday he was going up to the other office to spend some time with our colleague up there, who needs support. That's great for LIsa and I, since we can leave early, have nice extended lunch hours and still get our work done. God, I was meant for autonomy! My boss is reasonable though, he knows what we get up to when he is away, but has always been of the opinion that if the work gets done and there are no irregular complaints (Yes, we get complaints from fools, but he understands that), he doesnt mind what hours we keep. YAY for freedom! Me thinks I'll be trying to get my lard arse back to teh gym, if I can motivate myself. I NEED MOTIVATION! HELP!

I've been feelign fat, ugly, depressed and generally lacking in self esteem recently. I know it's because I am fat, I am ugly and I am depressed and lacking in self esteem. But normally, I am better at being on top of it, than recently. I need to get to the gym, get some exercise, get some fresh air and movement into my tired, weary body. I wish I could be one of those people who could get up early in the morning and get anice invigorating workout done before work. but I jsut cant! Anyone got any ideas? With no daylight savings here, I get home and it's dark. I jsut want to curl up on the lounge and vegetate! I just cant help it!@ It's winter here and I want to be snug as a bug in a rug!!

Woe, I have another headache. I think I am allergic to work. God. Which reminds me, going to the inlaws this weekend. They blackmailed us, well tried to, because it was my birthday earlier this month and wouldnt send my birthday present - they wanted us to come and get it. We refused. It became a little awakward. But now, because G's sister and nephew are going to be there this weekend, so we decided it was the best time to go, because then I would be occupied playing with little Aari - I direc tyou to my photos seciton to feast on his delightfulness! Such a little bubber, he is! I shall update with more photos later - after the weekend visit :)

I'm tired!

Do you know what I seriously detest? People who come into work sick with the cold or flu. Ok, so a lot of us don't have the choice about coming to work, because there simply isnt anyone else to cover for us. However, it shits me when people come in sick and then wander around the office saying, "OH! Don't come near me, I have the flu!" as they cough and sneeze all over you! That's what shits me.

I have been lucky in that I hadn't contracted the flu/cold yet. I had taken special precautions, in as much as I got the stupid flu shot, I take multivitamins, I take echinacea tablets, I eat lots of fresh vegetables, I try to get rest and relax. But you know, because of these dimwit bastards, I spent the entire weekend either asleep or moaning about how I couldnt sleep! You know why? Because I developed a cold on Friday night, which has successfully kept me home from work on Monday! I could deal with a cold, even though it means draggin my ass to work on the horrible train. However, last night I gave in, as my temperature spiked somewhere near 40 and I was hot all over, though craved more blankets. I spent the majority of the night like this until about 3am when it gave way and I was able to sleep properly. Glen woke me at 7am and I left garbled messages for my boss and colleague to say I wouldnt be in and would try to work from home.

So, here I sit on the lounge, taking a break from work. No seriously, I have been working and it's been productive. But I have one more thing to whinge about. Bosses who spend the weekend in bed with the cold, only to come in on Monday morning and spread it some more. Again, he had absolutely no choice but to come in, but why do I feel like a cow for staying home in bed?

I'm so over work right now. This is my second day back since taking a couple of days off around my birthday and I've really had enough of this place.

In other events, if I had the heart to recap my birthday, I would. However, I'm just tired and really, my birthday wasn't that noteworthy. I had Friday and Monday off so I didnt have to be at work for my birthday. I slept, i veged, I shopped, we had dinner, i ordered stupid things like crab which barely had any meat in it. I got my birthday present which wasnt a surprise at all, becaise I had asked for it. Hrm. I got chocolate cake, I was given clothes, soaps and smelly stuff, a furry rug and a few other litle things. I turned 28. I dont feel 28. I dont know what age I feel, but 28 feels older than I do.

Btw. Since when did people get so possessive about their recycling bins? Last night our recycling bin was taken out to the curb - we had some stuff which wouldnt fit in our bin, so searched neighbours' bins to see if we could slot some cans into it. I found a bin and nearly pooper my pants when this older guy came up to us and asked what he could do for us, stating that was his recycling bin! I simply responded that ours was full and we were searching for other bins which could accommodate our recycling. He backed down completely. I put my stuff in his bin - some of it and he retreated.

Why was he prepared to get all territorial about his recycling bin? He was throwing the stuff out anyways? I wasnt going to trash it or steal it. What was he expecting me to say?

Some people are weird, others are completely snooty and take themselves and their recycling bins, faaar too seriously...

*************************

Oh yeh, we got PART of our lounge suite on Saturday. I had to start tearing down walls and abusing people to get that much. The second recliner didnt arrive. They finally admitted they had "misplaced" it and it would be made ASAP, with fast turnaroudn times. Hrm. The lounge is lovely, we fight over the recliner and the cats don't know what to make of it yet.

Yay for me, I turned 28 today. gawd. Should I be feeling old? I know, every year I go through this, wondering whether I should start to act to my age and every year, I shrug and think, NAH! I'm just a kid in my head, so I'll stay this way forever, if I can,

Not much to tell you today. Had a nice long weekend - took Friday and today off, back at work tomorrow. When I feel like it, I'll fill you in on the details, I just cant be stuffed at this point now. I am happy though and fine, so please dont worry :)
