is when you are able to sleep like a baby through the night. first night of amazing sleep in a month. perhaps the old camomile tea trick works.

a quiet long weekend (in between lots of 9-5 work - boohoohoo) works for me.

and a doggy play date. ahh ness, I hope you don't shat yourself. But I know you're a good mediator between max and others. And now i feel like i'm packing for two children. Water - check, Bags - check. Snacks - check...

It's quite irritating when all you want to do is sleep in but your body tells you to wake up. So was up around 7 this morning again but had a headache so decided to go back to sleep. Big mistake. Didn't wake up until 10:30 when Donna texted to say she had already left her house. Hahaha so I ended up being a bit late cause had to stop on the way for fuel as well. Oopsies.

We went to Devon Cafe followed by Reuben Hills. The brunch saga continues. So our waitress was pretty friendly (I even showed her a couple of pictures of my cakes!) and she recommended the Chicken n Chips and also the Sakuma breakfast. Both were quite tasty albeit on the more pricey side of brunch menus. I also had a sparkling long black which was actually really good too. Randomly bumped into Steph and a few girls from HS as well. That was... (not really awkward) but surprising maybe?

Had 2 cold coffees today, both without milk! We were going to go to Le Monde cafe because it was closer for our second coffee but it was closed. Oh, and we also went by Messina on the way =D. Fatties...

Anyways, we ended up getting our second coffee fix at Reuben Hills. The V-something cold drip with ripe flavours of some fruit I think it said on the menu?! I couldn't taste it but it was really refreshing none-the-less.

So brunch turned into more lunch... and early afternoon tea. By the time I got home it was half past three (hey, that rhymes).

Stocking up the groceries for my orders this week - went at kind of a good time as they were dong stock fill as we shopped so most things are there! :)

literally slept for 24 hours, 4 carbon tablets and 1 vial of po chai later...

at least i don't have the urge to vomit anymore whether it is food or water or nothing. yuck.

now i have that feeling of floating from lying in bed so long...

but not going to waste the last day of my holidays, at least going to try not to. i am glad summer finally decided to arrive also!

i wish i was one of those people who could sleep all day.

but sleeping in till 11 is almost just as good. :)

as of today, i am officially unemployed.
lol.

so i celebrated by sleeping. sleeping. and sleeping. =D

i was meant to just lie in the sun for a few minutes.

i fell asleep so i napped until like dinner. lol.

was meant to do all these chores. theres always tomorrow. hahah.

MONDAYS ARE THE ONLY DAYS I GET TO SLEEP IN - WHEN I DONT FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE GYM. TODAY WAS ONE OF THEM.

THE ONLY DAY

I DIDN'T GET TO SLEEP IN BECAUSE I HAVE A EGGING SISTER WHO IS STUPID. in a nutshell.

messages me just before 9 am saying that she left her assignment at home - AGAIN. so i was supposed to just get up and drop it to her?!?! AND I ACTUALLY GOT UP, FREEZING MY ASS OFF AND WAS GOING TO DROP IT OFF.

just as i leave the house, she messages and goes:

"it's ok. i have it with me. thanks anyway."

YEAH I WAS PISSED OFF. =(

to compensate, i pretty much did nothing for the rest of the day. since i havent done that in awhile, it felt pretty good. i did write a few paragraphs for my assignment. but nothing majorly productive.

except watch kristen drop her mtv award. and an anticlimax to the awesome best kiss acceptance. oh rob... LOL.

apart from that, basked in my room with my heater being very resource wasteful. shrugs. one of those days.

despite having a headache and stomachache for a good part of the night. and sleeping really early since i got back from melb. like 10 pm early.

work was so sluggish on friday.

i missed melbourne lattes so so much that i was on the verge of crying.

no, thats a lie.

i just missed them. period.

melbourne was awesome. but i cant be bothered to type about it. since most people who read this were there.

lol. too bad if u weren't. photos when i get them.

so i slept right in. as donna knows. lol. because she msned me at 10 and i didnt reply until like a half hour later. hahaha. but i managed to do my acct homework this morning? anyhow, val called around 12 saying she was bored. and if i was at uni. i was still at home. but i was talking to donna on msn. so i told her to meet donna instead. i got egged for setting them up on a date.

ROFL
ROFL
=D

they were in the library after when i called in the arvo. tax lecture went on and on. literally. until 9. this has only ever happened one other time i think. and val was waiting for me cause i was gonna take her home. lol. she had a really long day. it started at 8:30 this morning... apparently talked 'shit' with 3b lecturer and donna. hahaha. and walking up the basser stairs twice took it out of her. poor darling. XD

so i didnt get home till pretty late. and mum was like. where were u. blah blah. and im like... well if ur so worried, why dont u call me? and shes like. but ur probably driving. she is the ONLY parent i think who doesnt check on her kid.. its good and bad at the same time. then she was like.. i figured u were probably dropping valerie home. and im like.. htf do u know that??..

anyway i almost missed the turn to vals street in the dark. and i got the date that she was leaving mixed up with carls (val is 25th, carl 27th). and so shes

"so disappointed in me"

LOL. i know. and im sorry!!!

anyway, my bit of excitement tonight was that i took the next exit after mine on the m5 which meant I GOT TO DRIVE AT 100 KM/HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooot. that was so much fun. hahaha. yeah. okay. enough.

i woke up prematurely at 4:20 am. and then was woken up at 7 and 8 and 9 because they were tiling the roof.

they even asked if they could put their beer in our fridge. -______________-

not in a good mood after being woken by them hammering and the doorbell in one morning.

lol. yeah stop ur bitching and start working eh.

meant i didn't have to take a detour home cause they hadn't closed the m5 yet. YAY!! the lecture went by surprisingly quick. i think we were all too tired to really give much thought into it. and its the same damn couple of people every week who ask all these freakin questions to slow us down. and both are in my tutorials albeit separate classes. grr.

and the builders next door. don't they need their beauty sleep??? cause i certainly do!!! 6 or 7 in the morning to start banging is not nice. =( =( i can't sleep!!!

went to fill up my tank today. price was okay. lines were even better. didn't really have to wait which is a bonus cause the shell around the corner is always packed.

we went to oportos for dinner. and i stupidly had a bondi burger with chilli. regular size. just the burger. its still killing me. the sauce is just too much.. not having oportos for a long while (actually, i said that back in about may/june when we kept having it at work)... but the choices were maccas, oportos, uni food. the latter is just unacceptable in the evening. not much of a choice. wedges or wedges.

i woke up pretty late. its the whole situation with having been woken at around 7 when the builders start up all their machinery and everything. i wake up them but somehow manage to drift back off to sleep and then ur screwed. you oversleep. at least its not the groggy kind of oversleeping.
i felt like all i've done today is eat and well, eat. i feel really full today.
it was a pretty quiet day at work as well. the wrong people were working so there wasn't much internally (except george came to visit) and there weren't all that many customers either. the biggest thing that happened today was that there were police just outside near the concierge desk who had i think 2 or 3 guys on the wall and were fully searching them - clothes, bags, everything. they looked like druggies though.
i bought a pair of shoes that i really like from betts today. black peep toes that aren't heels!
08.08.08: i was surprised to see so many people coming in and asking where our wedding cards were. i think the date is pretty self-explanatory.
