Mixed Tape and other adventures

No one can accuse me of wasting a weekend .  Good weekend, again what was meant to be quite one  about some organsing and cleaning, kind of got put on the Back burner.

Friday night, was a extended beer o clock and then dinner with my boss. Which was fun, but will probably make tomorrow ’s discussion harder with my area manager re moving to the city store ( Bondi , has become a sort of family to me) . She  paid for dinner  & sent me home in cab, I was fine to P/t it , but she is a worrier, god bless her.

Thought id be random, and knocked on kate’s door , at about 9.30 at night. She Answered! we had a quick beer, and I left her to finish packing. Havent seen her in nearly two months so it was nice to see her face.

Saturday : woke up fine, till about 10, then hit the wall, when will I learn not not mix drinks!

Was meant to have lunch with Buzz, she pike  at 4 o clock that  afternoon,  she is a bit of a schocka for spreading herself a bit thin, I was priotized out alas!

But it all was good, on friday night I did  some DUI ( dialing under the influence ) and got a call back from a mate I havent seen for years on Saturday, who happened to be in my town at the time. We lunched, attended a kick ass fete ( in my day they didnt have beer tents ) and  strolled ( I managed to get us lost but made up for it in Swing & climbling equipment time)

Today was lovely, although  it started off semi sad , because of the bad dream that I had woken up to . Called my Mum, had a sooky la lah about it , then talked ( well live web chatted) to the person who it was about, the strange thing is , It cant be describe as nightmare , because it was true….but seeing it all in sequence , in the aftermath of a book disgarded on a toilet floor, made me cry.

Anyway , drag my arse to the newtown festival , wearing completely unmatching clothes, and looking very colourful. Got some looks in summer hill for it , but fitted right in at Newtown ! Newtown Festival  was really good, really BIG, compared to what I expected.

 My main aim was to get sausage & onion sandwich- cause how good are they . Achieved , tick and Tick!

Spent nearly an hour in the writers tent, feeling inspired at thier brillance as they read & then discussed themes of siblings, replacement & lonelyness between them.

Brought some rather cute bling, and feasted on some spanish donuts covered in chocolate sauce( lucky i did a Lot of walking yesterday)

Checked out  the live music , resisted the urge to spend 45 dollars on the best tye dye shirt I ever seen, and made conversation as I queued 15 minutes to long to pee.

Headed to Burwood on a a mission to buy some new knee highs ,  to discover the Westfield there doesnt have a Myer’s !

Headed to my next favourite- Tarshai . Had a 50 g/voucher from work ,  and still walked out a 50 dollars poorer alas, but  amvery pleased with my purchases .

And thats my weekend , gone. Not bad hey ……….Actually , it worked out well.

Now, time to google to tomorrow’s whether report , microwave ones dinner ,  clear some space on my floor  and most of all get ready for an all stops , big week ahead .

 :-)  plus a tree hugging moment . M

Anger, mostly at myself .

I swear have this special ability to pick a fights with my boss . I swear she just see’s me and I make her blood pressure rise.

Anger, In how much weight I have put on in a week, and how completely unattractive I feel.

Anger, on how I forgive to easy , and melt on a three line email.

Anger, for the shitty job I have, and how much I miss interacting with young people.

If I could pace the streets tonight , I would, a rampant amount of energy expelled on a footpath is what I need,

But it’s midnight ,  and sleep will be force. 

Dam Tuesdays!

 

Anger, then a few tears and some trashy t.v  M

And the light is coming

Not sure whether Ill go to work tomorrow, still fatigued and a bit under the whether , but vitamins, the g.f  medicines, and lots of fresh juice has me feeling bouncing back the today .

Cool night last night, taught Anna how to make Taco’s ( the staple diet of any share accom celebration), and we dance to Madonna around the kitchen.

Finally got out today and had lunch with Trish at Newport Beach, God sydney amazes me, let me tell you bondi is nothing compare Newport.  There is so much more Im yet to discover.

Trish has a uber Hot  convertable  Vw, dont know it’s fancy name , but it’s a recent model, and we felt like suitable wankers with our hats and sunnies singing along as we cruised thru the city traffic.

It’s been two months since Ive seen her, and  her life has changed for the better.Her story spins me out , of fate, and everything just suddenly falling into place . Uber happy for her, and   wAS way fun to catch up. Even if she did tell me one of two things I didnt want to hear

It’s so good to feel Human again, went and out layed the money yesterday , and will start on the magic  champix in the next few days , I need to set a quit date first . Yay , the concept of being free!

Time for some sleep . M

Waste of a weekly ticket

I have been bed ridden for 48 hours, and for a kid with a.d.d that feels like a lifetime.

Mystery illness, my hunch is Glandular Fever, but my blood pressure is all over the place.

God, I have to give up smoking, being this sick, makes me think what it would be like if something worse happened.

Message Matt in Panic today , he is not in a position to give, not out of selfishness but he has a whole world of drama going on at the moment . But the past few days have been lonely and scary, and the no one in my live becomes pretty prevalent when it’s so hard to even get yourself to the doctors.

All very morbid and black today . Glad to have Dr Mum on the line, just to get thru .

Feel it will be a very quite weekend . At least as far as my liver is concerned,

Signing off,

 Very Sleepy Princess ( better than the monster that Ive felt like lately)  M

Hotel rooms, pimples and a state of vague!

Finally the ikea gang reunited, many beers, laughs and memories shared.

Nearly fainted when one round of drinks was 45 bucks .

Funny moment, as I was proving I wasnt to drunk , to move on to the next club, fell over ass of tit, with a skirt on in the middle of the city . Felt fine at the time, hurting the next day!

Officially signed lease yesterday, and had what felt like the worlds longest house inspection.

Lunch with Stace in Summer Hill that Im still feeling bad about , as I was that hung over I could barely speak .

And today, I have just three things on my list , there is more to do, but three is fine! Too much work and not enough play lately.

First agenda of the today is Bacon, cause it is the sunday rule M

I still havent clean the toenail polish off, longue room- almost tick, kitchen & bathroom – doh!

Checking in, to missy higgins, some rowdy dance time with elvis and in my favourite outfit, a towel .

Im almost their , I knew October was going to big, but I didnt expect this big, I actually duck a dinner last night so I could clean and start to get ready for the house inspection, and the carpet cleaning guy .

A wierd week , where the inbox & sent items of my phone tell a story of mini goodbye’s . I  actually temporarly  lost 3 people in one day!

F/b went to Ireland, Swedish to north , and news of Potaty going to the east .

When your low in networks , I felt a bit hit for 6 by the whole thing really , Matty cooked me Salmon that night,  and I brought him Krispy Kreme

Loving my new flatmate, It’s kinda cool she is a outsider’s as well . She is Sweet, Greek and so far, tidy conscious .

 She talks alot to . Which is  really refreshing, in a nice way , she even says good morning, and sweet dreams, drinks Rooibos tea with me, and is good company for sunset strolls.

Speaking of Rooibos tea, I do believe my stomach is grumbling.

I’ll let you if If I survive the next 48 hour 3 day weekend challenge .  M

This chicks writing style and wisdom , is what I aspire to be. Ahhh. maybe One day, I ll be writing about fond memories of Ace of base and coming of age in the 90’s . Worthy to check out. M

Good weekend, quick weekend. Meet my darling new nephew , lots of fun with Ronan & charlotte, and it’s always so good to see my family.

Arrive in Newcastle at quarter past 11, was drinking a beer at the albion at 11.15. !

  Visit to newcastle beach  and the breeze sweeping thru my hair, as we dug our toes in the sand was divine.

Got to catch up with some mates, not enough of course , but was really nice to see thier smiling faces.

I really needed to get away, the trains trips, gave me some much wanted time to relax & think.

Suffered some neurosis as a cause, but it was all very justified.

I dont want to see my credit card statement, I had fun. I dont think I could ever live in Newcastle again, but my god, the slower pace & relaxed atmosphere is sure nice to visit .

Time to Upload. This has been Sunday evening check in, with a house full of lovely foreigner’s.

Photo’s are coming, sleep wins :-)

oy!!! Monday melancholy .

I woke at 7.20 am, to my mothers tearful happy voice, my little bro was now a daddy.

Less importantly, but more importantly at the time , I also realized I was running really late!!!  A banana in my handbag, and a change of clothes & 10 minutes later I hit the streets. Today , was cityfails new timetable starting which I was uber excited about, but alas that 3 minutes earlier meant that I missed my 15 minutes of morning giggles with random swedish guy.

The Day went quick, which   was good,  considering I didnt want the day to happen at all.

I was in a haze, my thoughts anywhere , but where they should be . So, much so, I didnt realize till the train stopped at Ashfield the afternoon , that Id got on the wrong one.

Took advantage of the afternoon sunshine, did some grocery and retail therapy, and walked the back streets of summer hill to feel lost to reflect one’s melancholy.  

Had a  really ugly sofa dropped  the evening , that will do the trick for the moment , but when savings allows, kicking it to the curb. (it’s floral , need I say more)

The afternoon as I walked , I wanted to walk until my shoes had no soles left on them .

It’s been good day, 2 lot’s of good news, but me….Sunset with a Devon & Sauce sandwich, and melancholy tiredness

Peter Harvey – Summer Hill.

Changing rooms and other adventures

Catch up Morning , Welcome to Sunday .

Ok so where do I start, recent, to otherwise I think.

I spent friday night emptying the floor of my old room. Burnt an incent, and wished for good karma for the next person that lived in it .

 Said Goodbye to said room…. I know it’s gay , but it’s what I do .

I had a brilliant moment on friday , Ive had a tough week , facing the fact that Im so alone here , and the lack of support networks  sometimes  feels debilitating, but then I did it , I found some help, and the rest  Ive had to sux it up , and the results are pleasing .

My mantra is that I have the wisdom & strength . Because it’s one thing to write it, but another for your core to believe it .

Think I found my perfect new flatmate yesterday , and when my phone stops being a tool, going to send the text of          ” House of Beige and Rooibos tea” wants you- finger’s crossed, she hasnt found another place in the last 24 hours .

Speaking of the “house of beige ” I knew this was my last weekend , where I had it to myself , and what these 4 walls have seen things in the last 8 hours that are likely to make my mother cringe , yet I’ll be  walking  around with a smug rosey smile.

Right , towels everywhere, and wax to try and get off my bed sheets. Hmmmm, no bacon, Sunday Tragedy .

Jolly o ! M
