Eff You See Kay

I was looking forward to a productive long weekend, but oh well, no such thing. Mostly because my dad landed himself an extended stay in hospital, giving us all a bit of a scare. So I spent most of the weekend there... even missed Cirque d'Soleil, which suddenly didn't seem to be that important. So the Bucket-List is also going nowhere fast.

It was a good eating week. Or should I say not-eating week. For once I managed to control my man-sized appetite. I had coffee, juices, no bread or pasta at all, just veggies and some protein. Oops, and a pizza on Friday night. So with all that effort put in, I was really expecting to be rewarded with a skinny physique this morning, but apparently these things take time. So only 1kg less and less bloated, I'll carry on going, and will gracefully choose to ignore the peanut butter sarmie I just decided to have.

Onto other things, I didn't tell you last week that my new mommy friend that I picked up at the play venue texted me last week. She obviously didn't want to seem too desperate so she took her time. She asked if we could meet sometime for coffee. I said yes obviously, and told her I would contact her when I could, which I haven't done yet. Will definitely try for this week, but it's looking like a hectic one.

Since I turned 35, my age has really been bugging me. I really feel on the wrong side of 30. It's very different being closer to 40 then 30, and for the first time I find myself a bit nervous to tell people my age, especially these new young mommies. I mean, shouldn't a 35 year old be more mature then to make blind play dates? Shouldn't she already have a group of well established bosom buddies? Oh well , it is what it is, and I guess I have to take what I can get.

Little Baby Bird is 11 months today... where oh where has the year gone. She is ginormously cute and adorable. If you see her, you would also just want to eat her up.

Highlights coming up this week:

• more healthy eating
• a bit of gym - some fun classes with my sis, where I know she will burn more calories laughing at my lack of co-ordination then actually exercising
• a nice meeting with a client tomorrow for some new work (shoo!)
• learning Wordpress asap. Have a new site to do that the client actually thinks I am capable of doing in Wordpress - I'm not.
• doing my VAT. I really hate that, but on the bright side, I will be doing it in my new accounting software I bought, so just have to learn that as well, very quickly.
• Launching some new products in my online store
• meditation tomorrow. Geez, I really need help quick with the anger thing. It just flares up so quickly I don't even have time to think about all the techniques I've learnt.
• Finalising my floors asap.

Where am I going to find time for all of this? Baby Bird is awake so I have to go pick her up and play play play. It's fun, but I certainly won't be closer to getting any work done. Try again later.
Bye
