On the flipside of the crazy week: I'm alive and well! Albeit a little brain dead and a lot exhausted. Loving not working at all this weekend, its been a long time since I've truly experience the beauty of the weekend, my concept of time is all screwy now. It's 1pm on a beautiful Sunday and I have not done anything all day except read the papers with mum on dad on the balcony, something I have always loved doing. Wednesday, Brodstar, Amy,T and I had a fun little shopping day in the city something I haven't done in ages. That night Amy and I went to Espana's birthday drinks at Red Room and then to Regatta which was an absolute blast, something I was not expecting. We had lots of laughs and dances with our chocolate men and spent alot of time giggling at Spains drunken antics.
Thursday, Brodie became a UQ student for a day and we basically did the typical uni thing with Olly: we bludged around campus all day doing nothing but eating and getting up to mischief, including sneaking into the Schonell Theatre and pretending to be ballet dancers on the huge stage for awhile. It was a fun day.
Tonight, Stacey, Amy, April, Sheaye, Brodie, T and I are all having a pj party complete with makeovers and cheap wine. Unfortunately Cassie's in Sydney with her lover, so one part of the puzzle is missing. She's off on her own little adventure which is really important and I'm very, very proud of her.
Friday was a crazy and exhausting day at work with Jude, we mostly just walked around the city chatting to people and that night was Amy's official birthday dinner at Montezumas (Mexican:YUM). It was a good night of food and some cocktails and being the most ridiculous 17/18 year old immature rats in the place.
Yesterday, I spent the day pottering around the house after mum. Espana came over in the afternoon and we spent a gruelling 6 and something hours trying to film a video application for the Global Changemakers conference in London at the end of this year. Technical difficulties, the giggles and all sorts of shit screwed us over for awhile but we finally got it done. I'm pretty proud and hopefully he's got it in the bag.
Today is Olly's birthday so the usuals all fronted up for drinks around the fire at his place last night. I have to admit I was a bit of a wet blanket, arriving seriously late and leaving significantly early but it was good just sitting around the campfire smiling at the people around me. It was one of those moments where you look around and just feel content and overall, really lucky, despite the fact that people kept throwing ice cubes, Daniel was singing in his annoying drunk voice, someone kept changing the song and people kept throwing stupid shit in the fire.
For a week that I was dreading, I'm super happy. This coming week will probably be shit (thanks Murphys Law) but oh well, I'll just dredge up all my memories and laughter from this week and use it as my weapon against anything the world has to throw at me. Something else I've decided to throw in with my little head and heart, I'll be ok life philosophy.
I dont have anything more to report on, I'm thinking a nap would be the icing on the cake right now.
Lots of love,
