Busy Busy Busy

Well this is the first time I've actually had a chance to sit at the computer for a few days so I guess its time for a decent length post.

Last Tuesday was Melbourne cup day. I didn't win anything. I also didn't bet anything, so that works out. I wandered up to Fi's to collect my car just before 2, and spent an hour hanging out with her at her parents cup day party before heading to work. What an exciting life I do lead. Ah well. Public holiday pay rates on a day that I don't really celebrate works for me.

Thursday after work I had my chiro appointment, which has now been dropped down to once a week instead of twice. Yay! my back's only half dodgy now :). After my adjustment I went to collect the boy, and we went to knox ozone to see 'boytown' and then had dinner. Was hoping to see my very pregnant sister in law (a manager at the cinemas there), but she was doing interviews. I really want to see how big she's gotten but oh well. The movie was pretty funny in parts, but not worth seeing again. As I'm not into boy bands I probably missed a lot of the stuff they were making fun of.

Friday morning the boy actually chose to get up at 9am, which is unheard off, so we decided to make the most of the nice weather and went for a drive through the dandenongs to skyhigh observation point. The view from up there is fairly spectacular on a clear day, you can see the entire city and port phillip bay, and in the distance the Mt Macedon, which you drive through to get to Castlemaine and Bendigo, and the You Yangs.

After we'd had a wander around SkyHigh, we drove back down the tourist route looking for somewhere to have lunch. As we'd already driven past the nice looking places by the time we saw them, and those we stopped at didn't have a particularly appealing menu, we ended up having a nice pub meal at the hotel near my place, which being on a hill facing the dandenongs and overlooking jells park, also had rather nice views. We finished up in time for me to drop the boy off at the train station and get to work without being rushed. Naturally having had such a nice relaxing day, it was Murphy's law that work would be an absolute shocker. By the end of the night I was about ready to tear my hair out, assuming it didnt fall out on its own from stress. GRRR. Ah well. Went over to the boys place briefly to unwind, then home to sleep for my 7am start on Saturday.

Saturday I worked til 4, went to the gym for Body Balance at 5, then home to freshen up and off to the boys. We were supposed to go ice skating with some guys from his work but that didnt end up happening so instead we went out for a nice dinner. Sunday I dropped Chris off at work at 1pm then Fi and I went back to my place, we grabbed fish and chips, and Fi dyed my hair. Ross came over after lunch and the three of us had a nice girly day. At 6 we headed off to leave my housemate in peace, picked Chris up on the way through and went to his place for drinks. I dropped Fi and Ross home around 11, and that pretty much sums up my week.
