I can't believe I forgot about this darn thing again. Though I have to admit I've hardly been on the computer over the past week. I've been house-sitting for a few days now, and before that I had long hours at work which left me feeling a bit drained.
Today's been great though, spent a few hours catching up with a lady I went to school with. We had a blast, and it made me realise how much I miss our friendship. We caught up with the events in each others lives, had lunch together and smiled over memories then ended our afternoon with fond farewells and promises to catch up again soon. All in all it was a wonderful way to spend the day.
This weekend will be interesting. Our work is holding a conference weekend for employees and that means those of us not going (and there's not many of us at that), who will be holding down the fort while the others are away. So while things at work have been pretty hectic the past few weeks - this weekend will probably be the craziest! oh well, we'll get through it.
Tomorrow is apparently loud shirt day, and I've no idea what I'll wear - I'll probably just wear my uniform anyway. Saturday is mufti day, and Sunday is another loud shirt day. I think its a way for those of us left behind to have some fun.
Hubby is doing well, he's been getting more hours which is awesome. They've been using him for other area's besides what they originally hired him for so that's fabulous.
Well I'd better go, I need to figure out what I'm having for dinner tonight lol... its 2pm now so its going to make it interesting to try and have something defrosted in time.

Reconnecting to oneself
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. About whats making my unhappy with how life currently is, and how I can turn that all around. I've come to a few realisations and made a few decisions for myself about how things will be changing from here on out...
First of all, I'll stop neglecting this place for starters! I miss writing, and I definitely miss having that creative outlet. Even if no one reads this but myself, it will be a place where I can express myself and be creative.
Secondly, I'm doing a lot more cooking, baking etc. Ever since I left the states, my cooking outlet has been neglecting. I used to cook dinner so much, and i miss that... I even miss baking. Though I have decided to do the whole baking thing the proper way now - I'm baking from scratch. I made some yummy melt in your mouth chocolate chip muffins today and feeling pretty darn proud I must admit.
Lastly, I'm going to be getting out there and doing more photography. I've been seriously neglecting my urges to be out in the world, capturing moments in time on camera. Mostly due to giving work every ounce of energy and focus and having nothing left when it comes to having a day or two off. Then there's the whole thing that i'm worried to go too far in case they want to call me in.
Daffodils, they always make me feel happy.

Hubby and I went on a bit of a date yesterday. We went to the movies and saw "District 9" and followed it up with dinner at Denny's. I gotta say I wasn't overly impressed with the movie - when I'm sitting there wondering if i could get away with reading a book using the led lights on the side of the chairs (and later found out hubby wanted to walk out and get his money back about half way through). I can see social parallels with the movie and life, and the graphics were pretty good - It just, it just didn't have it for me. We had a choice - district 9 or GI Joe, and we both agreed afterwards we should have gone to the GI Joe showing.
Dinner was good, once we finally got our orders taken (the waitress wasn't particularly efficient). I had a chicken burger, with ranch sauce on it - pretty darn good.
Today's been pretty productive as well.. Walked to the shops, pick up some measuring cups, and spoons, and got some beer battered fish for dinner tomorrow night. Got home and cleaned the kitchen and lounge and bathroom, did some baking, played world of warcraft for about an hour and just generally relaxed. Next up its catching up on the laundry and get dinner going - and hopefully finish "Kushiel's Dart" tonight (hey these 900 page books take a wee bit longer to read lol).
