Another beautiful, yet cold, cloudless day found me struggling to get out of bed. Luckily I didn't have any cornflakes left in the house so preparing and eating that didn't make me late for work.
Now I was walking to work with Gerry and Fiona snuck up behind me and said BOO! She gave me a medium fright which is quite undeserved. I unintentionally scare her when I walk up next to her and say hi which is not my fault. So she purposely sneaks up on me and intentionally scares me. This kind of behaviour requires retribution... I must think up a suitable punishment. Unfortunetly public floggings have gone out of fashion.
Fiona pointed out some cool masks in a pharmacy on the way to work which is where she got the idea from. I sent my invites out today, this consisted of a short email pointing them to a web page. People are getting quite excited about the masquerade thing. It is going to rock. It is now my job to cultivate this motivation and bring it to a head on the night of the next silver moon, the 14th of July, when I celebrate my birthday.
Work went by, as it does. I went and paid the money for the venue I'm hiring out. Got home and went shopping, saw Fee in the super market. She asked me how many bars my heater had and then hassled me when I didn't know. We got home and found my heater had strips down the outside and not normal bars like most heaters... hehehe hassle me for not knowing about my own heater will you. Foolish woman. So I sent her off and scoffed down a quick tea. I then checked my emails and found 11 acceptances to my party and 1 decline (the dude is in the UK so doesn't think he'll be able to make it). That doesn't mean much though as those that won't come most likely won't reply saying they won't come, they just won't come. Jo had invited me to another wine trail on the 14th. It got back a little late though and I didn't want to be too written off on that day, I remember my birthday last year. Well actually I remember up till the last couple of pubs. Then I lost my wallet somewhere and spewed many times that I don't remember. The next day I had the hang over from hell. I don't especially want a repeat of that even though it was an excellent night. You CAN have fun without getting too pissed.
TRAING: Skipped rope 100 times this morning. Skipped rope 200 times after work. Went for a jog up to the lookout on Mt Vic. Almost got half way before I had to stop. Not bad for me. Will do a few weights/pressups before I go to bed as well. My goal is to be able to run the whole way from my place to the lookout without stopping. Bonus points if I can do it without feeling nauseous at the end of it.
Right Gerry's just baked choc chip muffins so I better go try those out. It was a real sly plan of mine to buy that muffin tray! I've never baked muffins in my life..
