The Thursday Times

Thursday 26 April 2012 - In the past week or so, I have:

• Stayed at Sean & Sam's on Saturday night - my home away from home, always a treat
• Monday - Got my hair cut and coloured for the last time (for a while) at Courtney's. She is having a baby in the near future, and has to take it easy till then - I will miss her, especially when my fringe is in my eyes and my roots start showing...
• Went to yoga on Tuesday night - really like yoga, but this class was not a beginners; the others all knew pretty much what they were doing, so were able to have lovely chats - not so relaxing when I'm trying to "tune out". Back to Monday Night Beginners next week, where I like it better
• Wednesday, Anzac Day - had the day off to sleep in, have lunch with Kim and plan more of our holiday. It's fun planning - hopefully the actual trip will be even better, experiencing all the things we want to see and do
• Had dinner with Deb on Wednesday night - she couldn't be bothered cooking (I never can be bothered cooking), and wanted to use one of her many Entertainment Book discount vouchers, so we headed to Tomato Brothers at Wilston - good pizzas!
• Thursday - Belinda's last day at work. She is having her 2nd baby soon, due in early July. We had cupcakes by the lovely Elena this morning, a walk to the shops with Shikha to buy a present for Bel (and got 40% off Napoleon Perdis makeup at DJs - a quick side trip), lunch from Grill'd, followed by a game of UNO that I came absolutely last in, then afternoon tea with the other teams. 

A big day of eating today... no need to mention that I stayed back 30 minutes to set up a fare I want to finish tomorrow, only to get some urgent work at 5:29pm that needed to be done before I could go home...40 minutes and a headache later, and I was on my train, maybe with a bit of steam coming out my ears. Such a martyr, I know. If only I had also been able to achieve what I wanted with my own fare, the reason I stayed back in the first place. Pfft, sheizen happens.

Friday night Debbie, Kim and I are going to my favourite restaurant in Brisbane for dinner. I am on a week's annual leave next week, heading home to Ballina on Tuesday in time for my birthday on Wednesday. So we are "celebrating" early. Should be good. I will not be staying back at work on Friday, by jingy.
