OK can I just say it's NOT the turning off the internet and letting my online scrabble prowress go to the dogs that is difficult... it's the whole making-sure-to-write-about-it that is the pain in the hole.
But I digress.
Yesterday:
Car - fetched.
Running - begrudgingly run.
Coffee - drunk (along with brownie = eaten).
Dinner - confirmed.
Articles - compiled.
To elaborate, I suppose as the challenge goes: I'm now a driver of the most environmentally friendly car available for purchace in this country. We explored all the options of hybrids (not available here), even attempting to import a Prius from SA or Japan, and that failed as well. There are no mechanics here that know how to maintain or fix them and given the fact that we live in the land of brainless kamikaze drivers, a good mechanic is an imperative. So anyway we got the next best thing. The S40. This is the one that Australia has started giving tax breaks on, if you drive one, because it's diesel technology is so efficient and environmentally conscious. So there you go. I'm a swedish car driver now. AGH!
The running - wasn't good. I blame the fatcakes we ate at coffeetime on tuesday. or something like that. I struggled with 5km, I have no idea why. not cool. oh so not cool. I used to do it in 29mins (before xmas) now it was 34. I need to work on that.
So after I gave my huge nervioso presentation to the DEA yesterday, and after picking up said automobile, The Mr. was so proud of my performance that he agreed to playing hookey from work for awhile so we could enjoy a nice cappuccino and a brownie at our favourite cafe. It was nice. It was also nice to get that thing over with as it had been bogging me down since I found out I would have to do it. I hate defending my work - it's like doing a thesis all over again. BARF! but the thing went really well, and I am really pleased. Even the Director of DEA was really pleased. whew. I deserved that damn cappuccino. And the brownie.

or you could just try not having a bunch of shit to do. Like my typical weekday schedule: 1. Go to work. 2. Go to 2nd job. 3. Go home 4. Read book/watch tv. 5. Sleep.
