Half an hour to go, c'mon weekend!

My plans for this evening involve library, then home, then [livejournal.com profile] vivienne_aster, then gym, then home, then pizza, then Press Gang. They may or may not also include [livejournal.com profile] cows_might_fly, I'll know once she's gotten back to me. I am very much looking forward to this. I like being active and then getting to sit back with friends and relax. Hopefully [livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo will get to rock-climb, then come home and hang out too! (Btw, [livejournal.com profile] fnoo and [livejournal.com profile] clappamungus, you guys are welcome too of course. Well, as far as I'm concerned, you might want to check with your respective partners...)

I went in the spa last night at the gym, hadn't donne that in ages, it felt gooood.

General Health Update

I have not yet succumbed to smoking, despite hanging out with a smoker the other night and going outside with them so they weren't on their own. I have also not yet started drinking again. I've significantly cut down on junkfood in my diet except at designated times, and even then I've reduced the amount (e.g.I had TWO chocolate freckles instead of two handfuls of them when they were handed round at work)I'm managing to go to the gym at least twice a week on average, and put up my weights twice in the last month. The only medication I'm on these days is ventilon for asthma and Nuva Ring for birth control. Sure the anxiety sometimes acts up, as does the depression, but I'm dealing. I'm coping. For the most part I'm happy.

The last few days I've been feeling a bit, well, inadequate I guess. I've had to remind myself of the above paragraph. I'm getting health back under control for the first time in about five years. This is a Good Thing.

Saturday we got up early and met [livejournal.com profile] vivienne_aster and [livejournal.com profile] fnoo at our local cafe for breakfast. Typically, since we were introducing people to the place the waitress wasn't there, or the person who usually makes the coffee, meaning they were understaffed, slow and had mediochre coffee. Still, the food was nice, well, mine was :-)

Kate and Michael very nicely dropped [livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo and I off at uni and we meandered towards [livejournal.com profile] penelope_jane's house, only to be twarted by road closures. Still we met up with her eventually, and with her help managed to get a table from IKEA, the last of our urgent big purchases, and get out to [livejournal.com profile] insomnius' mum's house for [livejournal.com profile] insomnius' going away party. It was fun. [livejournal.com profile] penelope_jane taught me a puzzle with dice about polar bears and then we played Lunch Money, which I have not played since about 2002. Yay Lunch Money! I got to see Rachael, which was very awesome, and she very sweetly lent me all of Press Gang on long-term loan, and gave me every episode of Daria she possessed on disk.

On the way home we had the company of [livejournal.com profile] laurenmitchel who was going to Brunswick, it was nice to see her in the flesh again, then Penny dropped Seamus and I home where we had dinner, got changed and headed out for [livejournal.com profile] fnoo's 90s party, which was heaps of fun! We watched The Late Show and [livejournal.com profile] rin_tin_tin, [livejournal.com profile] _audhumla_ and I danced to that song by the Venga boys... is it called Venga Bus? I also discovered happily that I can go outside with the smokers (or smoker in this case) when the amount of people gets too much for me, and not smoke. This may have something to do with the fact I wasn't drinking, but still, I was quite pleased and proud. I had fun chatting to people, and actually I really had fun dancing. I have not danced at a party in a long time. I think parties I attend need more dancing.

The next morning I woke up with a headache. As the strongest thing I'd drunk the night before was lemon, lime and bitters I thought this a tad unfair. Still, I hadn't managed to slip in any water with my fizzy drinks, and I don't have much sugar in one go these days, so perhaps it was my own fault after all. Seamus made scrambled eggs with not-bacon and mushrooms, which was tasty.

I was meant to be meeting my PALS client, but their caseworker rang me to say the client could no longer make it, hopefully we'll reschedule soon. So instead I cleared the floor in our dining area while watching Press Gang, then swept it, [livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo mopped it (and all the upstairs tiled areas, and vacuumed the carpet) and then we brought our new table in. I really like the way downstairs looks now. It makes me feel happy coming home to it. And it means we can start having people over for dinner soon, and having pub at ours, yay!!

Today I got to work early as I discovered in the move I've lost my bloody Notice of Assessment, so need to get a Tax Pack and do it the old fashioned way. If anyone is interested I was thinking a gym trip this evening since I completeley failed in going over the weekend.

Now I'm at work, I should probably stop procrastinating...
