Rebecca Jones's Diary - Spinster and Lunatic

What an unproductive day I've had!

Slept till just after midday, save for an hour or so at 7am.
Got up and caught a train one stop to Oxley to go to the butchers there. Was going to walk Zeke there but he seemed to have dug up the garden so he was being punished.
Had all good intentions of buying dog bones but they were all out... instead I bought a meatloaf.
Got some lunch, ate it.
Cleaned my shower and toilet.
Got into bed at about 2pm to read.
Fell asleep till 6pm.

Got up, made dinner (meatloaf, mash and gravy).
Splitting headache.
About to get into bed again.

Chocolate, Nurophen and cordial first.

Not sure what to do tomorrow. Zeke got a bath last week so he wont need one tomorrow.
Might head into town and spend a Borders gift voucher that Deanie gave me for my birthday. I saw yesterday there is a new Alex Cross novel out. Or I want to get that Barbera Walters one.

Went out with Kev last night into O'Malleys in town :)
I went one for one water and rum... swishing my mouth after every few mouthfuls.
My mouth is going well... just a few aches when I havent had ice on my chops.
I bought a couple of those moldable cold packs for me to take to work tomorrow.

Kev stayed over and this morning we took Zeke up for a dog wash and bought the dogs a new bed. One of those hession sack ones. I got an extra large one cause Yoda generally curls up with Zeke each night. So they share.

Old man Zeke on his new bed:

He almost liked his photo taken

Action Yoda!:


Haha he's such a funny pup! :D
He looks like hes getting jiggy wit' it...

Kev and I then went for a dawdle 'round Indro and went our seperate ways early arvo.
Got home to find myself locked out but crawled in through a side window.

Tonite Deanie is coming over for a sleep over! Cant wait!
We're going to get pizza and Ice-cream and Deanie sheepishly just asked if we'll be drinking :D We're going to watch a movie as well.

Back to work tomorrow!

So I had a great Australis Day yesterday.

Started with the 10,000 Steps Walk which was actually 2,700 steps dawdle. Was an ok walk... just a bit slow. We finished it pretty quick withing the top 30 (out of a couple of hundred) but it was good to get out.

After that and getting home, I started to get ready to go to Nyssa's for her Australia Day BBQ. I arrived there about 11.30ish armed with my carton of Bundy and Drys, honey and rosemary lamb kebab sticks and almost 15ltrs of water.
Started off with all good intentions to get though at least HALF of my 24 cans, but them mixed with 'Death Punch' and a few mouthfuls of the 'King Cup' I only drank 7!! HAHA.
Oh and keep in mind I left about 7pm and was in bed for 9pm. I'd had my fill though!

Today at work was unbelievably dead! I made the most of it though getting as many sales as I could. I will be 1st for the month.

Oh and dinner just now was delicious! Ive never made couscous before and I didnt measure the water properly but it turned out perfect! I was very pleased! There is plenty left over for me for dinner tomorrow night :D

Oh Zeke seems to have a bit of a rash about his hind legs... better keep an eye on that over the next few days.

Another day another thunder storm...

Zeke is currently cowering in the corner of my room... *bless*

Been walking him at night... a nice quick varied 30min walk around the 'estate'. I run up one incline... Id say its about 45degrees... I get just over half way up so I am aiming to get all the way up in one go... then there is another down and uphill bit I can jog and then the final bit I sprint... lets see if I can keep this up!

Eww... I forgot Zeke farts when he's scared from the thunder!

Tonite I have Microsoft product training which includes a movie :)

Well I see I havent done a real update in a while... so here goes...

The week and a bit that was...

SO I am now back at work. 3 days a week are ok but Im already itching for more. Its like I never left. There are 6 or 7 people that are still there from when I left in August 2005. A lot of the new people act very young and are very in their own click. Thats ok if Im not in it... means I get more work done and less dossing (Irish for bludging/slacking)
But Brisbane City is such a HUGE difference to Cork (Im talking HN - not the city). The information, the morale, the banter on the floor, the lack of fear... its so stressless!

Zeke is now back from being at the kennels (with Jam while Nikki was in Sydney for a few more days). Both the dogs think they are in utter heaven! They get chicken carcasses, chicken necks, dog bones and treats! Zeke is looking really really good! He's delighted to see me! We've started walking them at night... well with the storms the last couple of nights we only went for a short one tonite but its all good... a starts a start.

On Saturday I went to my ex-2ICs house for the night and drank a fair heap of Bundy Rum and just chatted and laughed and caught up... I watched the second half of the dissapointing Australia V England game and stayed the night.
Umm... do England actually have any skills? Or can they only kick for penalty points?
THEN I woke to the sad news that New Zealand also lost out in the Rugby World Cup :( What a sad way to start the day.

On Sunday I went and visited my Aunty and cousins. We got a STACK of food from my uncles work and also dog food and treats. Was great to see them... Zoe is growing up so much! Getting tall now!

This morning I got a fantastic call from Ireland from Oonagh and Colum. They were at a pub (Costigans?!) and there was a guy playing there that we know from Sober Lane and he was singing Roxanne.

Same guy as in the background of this clip:

Thats Colum and of course me (and Oonagh laughing!!)

But the buggers made me cry! I miss them! I think I may be Irish home sick! :( Oh and the guy in the band (who used to be our guy behind the bar at Sober Lane - the one who gave me free pizza every week) even said Hi to me! *sniff* I was tear-ing up at the bus stop! Lucky I had sunnies on!

Shana... you're still being a fecking spastic I see... just give it up already...
