It's been a big week for me. Emotionally and physically and the wine fairy this afternoon could not have come sooner!
I think Monday was the only day this week where I had no plans and got to go home after work! But I would have to admit it was also probably because I want it that way and never unless there are dire circumstances schedule things on Monday evenings.
Tuesday got to catch up with the lovely Anna. We went to Nicks on King St Wharf and was surprisingly a little busy for a Tuesday night. Must have been the $13 dinner deal. A good choice in options too!! But not serving coke coke wasn't cool! Jelly that she got this amazing one night stay in some posh resort on the blue mountains area. Wish I got something like that from work!
Wednesday had a mid week cupcake order and has dinner with godbrothers family for moon festival. He doesn't come to see me anymore :-( I have been cast aside for my cousin with his cool games on his Xbox apparently. Oh wells, they have to grow up someday...
Anyways was pretty pleased with the end result of my vanilla and marshmallow cupcakes!
Thursday was family night for me! Finally after months and months of waiting it to attend my CPA graduation ceremony! And well, it was pretty much a boring ceremony where they read a list of names and you collected your big ass piece of paper. The canapés at the end were shit so we went to Masuya, one of the best Japanese restaurants in town instead! We were drooling over the sashimi and Sapporo hotpot. YUMMO. Then had to go home to get started on another order! Back to our beginnings with Tiramisu. My hands still smell like coffee... Love it love it! But long and slightly tiring day.
On top of all this, been feeling a little "left out", not entirely insecure but questioning my role and contribution at SAP. Probably more so because of all the changes that have been and will be happening and my minimal involvement in it all. So then all of a sudden today I had a meeting with the CFO asking me if I had capacity to take on more (YES!) and had an informal chat with some people in Singapore in relation to a couple of other potential roles. Lets see where things head from there. Feeling more loved again! Next week will be busy too with month end and gap analysis and my boss being back do time to bring my A-game!
So feeling a little bit drained this afternoon and wine makes it better by mellowing it out but it also makes me tired. Cancelled drinks with the guys and told then to go without me but think they cancelled too. Supposed to be company drinks at the local pub too but giving it a miss.
So mumsy will be happy that I'm home for dinner tonight! And my wallet thanks me too! It's been an expensive week! I look forward to the sleep in tomorrow and dinner with grandma and extended family tomorrow night :) sometimes you need that comfort!
Sunday well be baking again but it's hard to say that there are many weekends that go by without the oven being used once or twice. Feels like of strange when I do t. Going to test out the new gazebo I got in preparation for the markets... I am getting closer to reaching my goal!
A little drained but happy me!!
