OK I know I'm really, really bad at updating my blog. And I am going to make excuses. But first, I just need to get some bad air out.
1. I need to learn how to cope better. I'm extremely pressurised at work, and I cannot afford to drop any balls right now, so my little melodramatic moments need to stop. Grow up, Ika. If you can't handle it all, say so, no one will judge you if you ask for help when you really, really need it.
2. I suck at this blog thing. I realise how lacking my skills are in this department (ouch that hurts to admit!) and have been promising myself to learn some tricks from my friend who's a superstar at this, but I still haven't. So, more boring looking posts, links that don't link, no sharing on Twitter and Facebook. Yawn. I have to sort this out next week when I'm back from the SAMA's. Done.
3. I have not run until tonight since Two Oceans almost two weeks ago, and tonight's run was not even worth mentioning. I am determined not to stop running now and I need to get more fit for my first full marathon, but finding the time is hard. Do I get up earlier and risk being a grumpy dragon at work and at home? Or do I let it slip to manage my daily commitments and I end up a grumpy dragon because I resent slipping into a state of slobness?
4. I've spent almost all of my bonus so far and I only got it last pay day. No wait, that actually feels great, I shouldn't put it in the Self bashing List. Yeehaaa, spending money on those I love the most (including me for a change) is great!
Wow, that felt good, getting it all off my chest. Moving on. Let's talk about things that have been good, fun, inspiring, happy or just interesting this past week.
1. My Superman continues to woo me everyday. He gives me butterflies in my stomach at least a million times a day, and that's when I don't see him. When I do get to see him, I completely melt into a pool of pathetic girly loveygoo. See what I mean, I'm inventing words like "loveygoo"!
2. I am going to the SAMA's this weekend, and -wait for it - as a guest! For once, not as a staff slave. Plus, I get to go with great people, it is going to be awesomeness like you've not seen in like, forEVER! I'll be Tweeting some and some no doubt.
3. I'm getting new specs this week, and they are hot, hot, hot. They are imported from Israel and completely handpainted, I will have to post a pic of them, they are to die for.
4. Our test for Thursday was moved out until next week Tuesday. Unfortunately I will have to study a little this weekend at Sun City, when Superman is playing golf. You get some, you give some...
5. I'm getting an increase from next month, what's not to like?!
6. I forget how much I love cheese, it's time for an all-cheese dinner soon. Add some great vino and some crackers, and you have a winning combo.
7. The weather is great, warm and sunny during the day but nice and cool at night, perfect for the best sleep in the world.
8. My baby, Billy and his new BF who stays here, Nellie the white poodle, gets along like they've been best mates since they were born. It's great for a mother (ha ha, had to add that!) to see her kids play like they do.
9. My dad got to stay over for two nights and I finally bought a bed for my spare room, another room done which I can tick off my renovation list. It is always a treat to have him here, I just wish my mom could visit more often too.
10. My "happy list" outweighs my "self bashing list" in spite of all the challenges I am facing at the moment given my struggle with a work vs life balance.
I leave myself with this very important question:
"Do I stay up late to work, or do I sleep early and go into the office really early?"
Hm, I think I'm opting for Club Duvet...
