Life In Days

Well, since last time I posted we've had mum's birthday, seeing DBF (that's darling boyfriend, Vicky), Napier trip, bowling, camping, shopping, work, BBQ.

Monday, mum's birthday;
I got her nice moisterisers/soaps/etc, plus a coaster with the quote "a home is not a home without a cat" on it, and a bar of novelty chocolate. Dad got her tickets to a concert for friday. My brother forgot. We all went out for lunch with some friends. That's reasonably average for mum's birthday.

Tuesday, DBF;
I was supposed to go to Napier, but we changed those plans to wednesday. When I told Sam he wouldn't settle for waiting that one more day to see me. He risked driving his car here. Mistake. Our fun of the day was the car not starting again once we went out. Thankfully we were only 2km away so walked home, and took dad back to get the car started later. This meant not risking turning the car off again, and Sam leaving then, around 4pm, rather than later as planned. I was looking forward to an evening to ourselves, but it ended up being an evening alone, as my parents were going out for dinner with friends. Despite not going quite as we intended, we still had a good day.

Wednesday, Napier;
I met a few friends and we got sushi, and wandered around the shops a little. I bought red short shorts, black longer shorts, and bright coloured board shorts. Great purchases. I saw DBF very briefly, as he drove past us and stopped to say hey. It was a good day, since I hadn't seen a couple of the friends I was meeting much these holidays.

Thursday, bowling, camping;
We were meant to go to splash planet, but it decided that was the day to bucket down with rain, so Moz thought bowling would be a good alternative. He was right. We had a great time. I'm not really very good at bowling so was pleased that in the first game I got 4 strikes and ended up 2nd out of our group of 8. The second game I sadly dropped to 6th. But my first score was 3rd highest overall, so I'm happy. I'll have to see if I can improve my skills on sunday, since Kyla's decided bowling would be good for her birthday.
That night everyone was meant to camp, but weather being a bit miserable most people decided not to. DBF and I went anyway, and texted for back up in the form of H (that can be for hippy, or for Harrison). H turned up with another Sam and we enjoyed drinks and sausages (or, bread, in my case) around a gas cooker. It was a good night.

Friday, shopping;
DBF and I dashed back to his house for showers, then tried to go to Napier to meet Kyla and shop. Car didn't start. We played mechanic, changed the latest part that he'd been told wasn't working. It was a pretty easy job, and personally I think I was the brains of the operation. He'd have done it wrong without me. Amazingly we did it right and the car started. We met Kyla, and hour later than planned. Still did some good shopping. Got a skirt, top, flip flops, bra and undies, discovered I really do have a thing for red right now. Played at the park for a bit, DBF's car wouldn't start again, so Kyla's aunt dropped him home, then Kyla and I back at Kyla's. I went home after that, since mum and dad had to get out for their concert, and spent another evening home alone. Well, with the cat. He's great company.

Saturday, work;
Expected to get grilled for not going last week. Boss hasn't said a thing about it though. Supervisor mentioned it, but it's not really his place so that doesn't matter. It was a busy day. We were out late. I was exhausted, but still got home and ended up going at the ab king pro, since I'm certain I've gained weight over the past few weeks. Another night in alone, as mum and dad had a meeting to go to.

Sunday, BBQ;
Mum and dad hosted a BBQ. There were 50 odd people and it was a good evening. I got suckered into making salads in the morning, and cleaning in the afternoon, ready for people to turn up at 4pm. I got lots of yummy food.

But of course, coming into today, that food meant feeling the need for more exercise today. Went for a cycle with dad. Sorted. Time for a shower and relaxing day before I try to spend every other day this week doing something, because next week school is going to steal that luxury of freedom I've enjoyed for what seemed like so long, but is now slipping away all too fast.
