I woke up this morning and felt quite yucky. Scratchy throat, headache, bit of a cough. But I dug deep and showered, breakfasted and dressed for work.
As I headed out the door, I stopped. I sat on the arm of the chair and actually asked myself out loud “Who am I kidding?” and then I went back to bed.
Sick winter day in bed. Kitten, coffee and Jane By Design
- Reading: I’ve just finished reading all three of the “Shades of Grey” trilogy. I blame Mom as she bought them on Kindle first. Our Kindles are linked so they were just sitting there for me to read. They weren’t books that I would recommend but they also are not the bodice rippers that we’re led to believe. Possibly a little try hard on the raunchy if anything!
- Watching: I’m lying in bed watching episodes of Jane By Design. It’s a family series I think but its cheesy and happy. It reminds me of early Ugly Betty with all the sabotage and the happy endings.
- Anticipating: A trip to Wellington and the Wairarapa next weekend. First of all, I’ve got a tattoo session booked with Simon Morse at the new Dr Morse Inc. studio to finish off more on my right arm sleeve. I’m hoping that we get some of the bottom part of my arm finished (I’d be really happy with finishing the bottom third) including the shading on the treasure chest and the octopus. I don’t mind too much if we don’t get the background done. Maybe we’ll come up with a plan for the sea bed. I get to have lunch with my lovely friend Gillian on Friday which makes me super happy. We haven’t had a proper catch up in months and months. Then I’ll be jumping on the train and head over to see my Mommy. I haven’t seen her in a few months and she’s bought me an electric blanket for my bed – exciting!!!
- Laughing About: an oldie but a goodie – The Cat that Burps and Farts. YouTube it .. brilliant!
- Listening to: Still making the most of my Spotify subscription, I’ve been listening to music from my past. The first one came up the last time I was in Simon’s studio and the second, well I came across a mix tape in the garage that was made for me by my first real boyfriend. Oh the memories!!
- The Pop Will Eat Itself
- Queen
- Eating: I’m popped Dukan on hold for today while I have some soup (still no toast). I’m trying to keep up with the protein but I prefer the idea of Pumpkin and Lentil soup with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and some cracked black pepper. Its a PV (Protein/Vegetable) day today anyways so I’m not doing too bad!
- Working On: Being patient. Patience is not a quality I possess a lot of. When the kids are here in the weekend, I get a bit frazzled with all the people in my little space. This weekend I’m going to really work at it but I’m also not going to be afraid to ask them to do a couple of things to help out and to keep the living room a little clearer.
- Wishing: That I could take my September holiday now. I’m going back to Volivoli Resort in Fiji with the Global Dive crew and the best part is that the ENT specialist said I can dive again! I can’t wait for warm water, long dives and some camera time. I think there will be a huge difference between 2010’s photos and the ones I will take this year.
And again, thank you to Danielle for the “Currently” posts inspiration
