It's been a very busy couple of weeks at work. Things are building up again and my days can be long and draining. Booking leave is getting tricky lately too, I've had some refused recently and had to get my Inspector to intervene and let me use up all the hours that I work over my contracted time. When I do get a day off, I make plans to meet people I haven't seen in a while or cheer up lunches for people having a much worse time than myself so even my days away from work fly be without me noticing. I'm even struggling to fit the gym in recently.
I get tired. I could do with a lazy weekend watching films and slobbing out in PJ's for a while. But alas, my next few weekends are all booked up and I somehow have to fit in a new cake topper commission into all this. Fortunately I think the bank holiday weekend is going to have to be allocated to some serious sculpting time.
This weekend, I've been on a mini road trip up to the mysterious and strange lands of The North. My friend L from Uni was celebrating her 30th birthday so N, Markuus and another uni chum Adam travelled up to sunny Hull to celebrate with her. Aside from my taxi rage ( having to wait nearly two hours for a taxi is NOT, I repeat NOT, good for Slinks stress levels) it was good to have a good catch up with friends over a LOT of cocktails.
My traditional weekly Friday work-de-brief drinks with H will be instigated again this week after a two week hiatus. However, we're having to divert from our local due to an unwelcome invasion so we're heading a bit further north for our night out. Gutted, as it's my local pub and it's become a regular feature of my post-working-week drinks over the last few years, but hey ho, I'm not going to let a particular nasty individual affect my night. I shall party on elsewhere. :-)
Time is steadily ticking by and it will be TWO weeks on Wednesday until I'll be flying over to Ireland to see Nine Inch Nails. Oh my god. My heart skips a beat every time I think about it. I simply cannot wait and am counting down the days. It's going to be so immense.
