Going out to dinner tonight to a posh Thai restaurant with the family for my youngest sister's birthday - apparently everything is pretty much still closed so we are taking kids to Thai, which really probably won't go down well as I don't think kids will like Thai much - though I do so there is one bonus ( Read more... )

Well I haven't been writing much lately as I have been insanely busy and haven't been in the right head space to write - plus I wanted to change the whole way my journal "feels" as really it is simply a chronicle at the moment and I would rather put some things down that really mean something to me but I have been in such a shit head space lately ( Read more... )

And my take on the election....I find myself dangerously more right winged then I really thought was acceptable in my cirle of friends. I am not devastated that Howard got back in, even though I probably should be. I am hopeful of him minding the economy for a bit longer and as much as I believe Bush is a lunatic, maybe the devil you know is ( Read more... )

I haven't had time to log on lately as I have been working insane hours - basically 54 hours in four days and it has been continuing non-stop. I will be back there at 7 tomorrow an will leave about 7 - I haven't been seeing even my kid - let alone my friends! So I have no idea what is going on with you guys because I haven't had time to log on ( Read more... )

Have my second date with internet man tonight - we are going to Erciyes - turkish pizza place in Cleveland Street that I have been going to for years - break from diet food which will be naughty but nice ( Read more... )

Had a good internet date last night - he wasn't what I would usually go for physically but he was a very nice man, who has a good job, doesn't party too hard and seemed very nice. I am pretty sure I am going to see him again. He was tall, and OK looking, but he was nice - maybe too nice for me but after being with Rod and the Tollefsen idiots, ( Read more... )

Very tired at present as I worked Friday night after a full week of work, then 11 am to 2.30 am Saturday (Sunday morning) and then 11.15 to 4.15 today. So pretty buggered but it is a good kind of tired, and perhaps I might be able to pay off some money off debts and stop borrowing money off Smokedamage every second or third week ( Read more... )

Have been particularly boring and totally jaded of late. Have been working insanely, doing two or three jobs at once and trying to make decisions about my life. Have been going to the gym and working out and trying to sort through stuff in my head while doing so ( Read more... )

I did a STAT (Special Tertiary Admissions Test) work shop today - I am woefully under prepared - I just hope to god that I get my wished for test date of 4 December because I need all teh time I can get to prepare. My maths is woeful (and they say it is only year 10 maths but who the fuck can remember how to do fractions and probability now unless ( Read more... )

I will, for the benefit of myself, go to the gym on a regular exercise program. I will stick to my diet foods, for my better health, and not eat add-ins. I will try and drink less, drinking only when I go out, instead of going on secret benders at home ( Read more... )
