I feel like I could use a holiday. I don't know what it is exactly - working a bit more than usual, having more social things on than usual, not getting enough sleep...
Actually it's probably the last one mainly. I've been eating more junk food than usual recently too. Not taking enough time for myself etc, etc... Fallen off the horse a bit, as Jason would say.
I don't understand how people fit everything in. I don't even work fulltime and yet it seems like I don't have time to work, and have a social life, and cook/do the shopping, and keep my flat tidy, and have time to relax, and sleep enough. I can really understand now why so many people just go with the ready made meals or take-away option. In my case, usually it's my flat that suffers. I would like to keep my flat in a decent state but... Well take monday night - by the time I'd got home from work, bought some food, cooked dinner, washed up, hung out some washing, and handwashed some more, it was around 9.30 and I was pretty much ready for bed... and yet there was still more to do and I hadn't had any time to relax either. sigh...
I haven't had any time to write in my blog recently and I regret that. I would like to be able to do this more often, I think it would be good for me. I guess I ought to get organised and connect the internet at home. Now that uni has finally closed my account my only internet access is either at my local library or at work during my break or tues/fri after I finish. Generally this is not enough time for much more than keeping up with emails/messages (somewhat) and internet banking. Getting the internet connected seems such a lot of hassle - trying to work out which of the hundreds of options to go with - and of course there's the additional expense as well. I've also been putting it off because I know I'm likely to waste a lot of time if I have internet at home. But without the easy availability of uni internet access - open til late, 5min down the road - I find not having internet at home a bit awkward. So I'm getting around to it (very slowly).

So what have I been doing with all my time then?
Well, last week, as well as my normal work roster (M, T, T, F, alternate S):
I cooked dinner for mum + my 2 brothers on Mon night
Went to dancing on Tues
Worked an extra shift on my day off and had family over for dinner again (and cooked again) on Wed
Thursdays are my late shift at work (until 8pm)
Friday I went dancing again - until close (midnight)
It was my Saturday to work, after which I had lunch and went to the Da Vinci exhibition with Dad, my Aunt, and my brother.
Sunday - day off (thank god) and got to sleep in. Yay! In the afternoon Mum and I went the So You Think You Can Dance tour.
Bleh, no wonder I'm a bit worn out. It was good though. Well mostly.

I also went to see Mamma Mia the week before last which was great fun :D
It's just my kind of movie - light-hearted, fun, and nothing remotely scary, gory, or cringe-worthy (well maybe Pierce Brosnan's singing). And I like ABBA songs, so what's not to love? I'd like to see it again, but I figure I'll wait for the DVD - to save money and so I can watch any behind-the-scenes at the same time.
The link to the stage musical was very overt - in that there would often be only a couple of lines of dialogue and then someone would burst into song:
Lack the money for some much needed renovations... Express your frustrations with an ABBA song
Want to tell your ex he's a bastard... Say it with an ABBA song
Planning on asking some to marry you... Why not use a ABBA song
Trouble finding a band for your daughter's hens night... just dig out your crazy 70s costumes and perform an ABBA song instead. They'll love it.
It was cheesy and over-the-top, but I loved it.
