Shame I can’t really be bothered moving to do either :p I think I’ll try the steak… get the pan heating. I have a really nice pack of three T-bones. One for me, one for Rish… another one for Rish for when I make him eat alone on Monday because I’m getting my dinner and wine paid for by national office :p

So not going to the torch relay tomorrow… I think it may be best to avoid the city altogether…. but I did get to see some of the fireworks tonight… saw the ones over Telstra Tower while making my way to the gym in the dark because I was running late… but I made it to the gym, and did about an hour of not so intense cardio, which is more than I felt like doing when leaving work today.

My team leader when I walked into the meeting today “Fiona, you look exhausted” then “Are you?”… hmm a yes was probably the most accurate response to give. Yes a little :p So, no, I won’t be taking up the offer to work an extra two days (Saturdays!!! wtf?) in May in order to to “catch up” admin work, tyvm :p I need my time away from work. if I’m struggling to get there 5 days in the week lately, I so don’t think I need to be there for a sixth :p

I think it’s my contacts. Lack of glasses - you can see my tired lines and circles a lot more. :p

Anyways. A long weekend is 24 hours away (7:21 of work!) then it’s three days of… well not sure what! :)

We had a friend down from Newcastle which was great the past coupel of nights. Thanks for visiting Jess! :) Great to catch up with people… also saw lotsa people on the weekend… and there’s a wedding in Newcastle on the 3rd May to get up there for… I love my Newcastle people… they’re welcome any time :) xxx

Just back from meeting up with Karen aka Kazza the Blank One for some dessert in Civic. I had originally suggested we head to Cream (good food, coffee, service and hot waitstaff all around), however, when I showed up, there was a large private function, with lots of girls in stiletto heels and mini-dresses, and aside from me not being dressed for the occaision in my Keds and Colorado clothes, I don’t think I’d want to go in! Then there’s a hush as someone steps to the microphone. Yes, indeed, Richard Wilkins has graced little old Canberra with his presence. From what I overhear, it’s a Canberra Centre fashion do, hence the glamours walking in…

So when Karen gets there we head to Cafe Essen instead - and actually get descent (read = fast, with coffee and cake arriving at similar times) service for a change. I am so full right now! (and happy that I have met another person, IRL, even though meeting people can be a completely terrifying experience. I need more nice experiences in order to make it less scary and soo will blossom into the beautiful social butterfly that really only seems to come out after a few glasses of champagne :p)

I so don’t see myself getting up tomorrow for gym - I have work to do before heading to the school tomorrow morning (as I left a little earlier today due to being completely brain-dead by about four! but I wasn’t the only one, we were dropping like flies…), so I might just get up my regular 7am, get to work 8ish so I can have a full day of work and then gym in the afternoon. At least it’s not too busy once it gets to the hot and sweaty afternoon! And you never know, it might actually be cooler tomorrow! (or perhaps not?)
