Let it be known that I hate, hate Christmas shopping. But fortunately it's almost finished. Thank fuck for that.

Guh. Then I have to wrap the fuckers.

So. Work is same old, same old. I've not been sticking to my training regimen like I ought to be, but I spent last week waking up at 6:30 with every intention of going and training...But that didn't happen. I've managed to talk myself into believing that that was an exercise in seeing if I could wake up at 6:30, and, hey, I can. So this week I will get up earlier and complete the morning portions of my sessions.

And I have sit-ups and push-ups to catch up on. I can do sit-ups until the cows come home, but I can pretty much only do three, maybe four, full push-ups. Hmm.

Yesterday was pretty busy. Got up at 9:30, got a lift into Panania to see my Optometrist to get my optical details and then went to the barber for a hurrcut. Neat and tidy. And then I walked to the pools and was there for about an hour. I swam about five hundred metres and I feel most accomplished. I think it's beginning to look/feel more the way "swimming" should look and feel and less like..."actively not drowning" looks and feels, lol. So, improvements all over.

Last night I attended Diz's 21st formal cocktail party and experienced perfection in a Champagne glass. There's a drink called a Bellini which is a mixture of peach nectar and Champagne, and let me tell you, it's most good. And I gave a speech. It would have gone better if I'd not forgotten pretty much everything I'd written, but there you are. A cold speech went down warm, lol.

Got more shopping done today and bumped into my mad aunts. Good to see them again, recieved comments about how good I look (I'm such an attention whore). I was going to go and see Australia, but I got to talking with them and missed the opening. Might go next week.

So.....Yeah. I guess that's about it for now. Bit tired and stuff, but meh. Got some new (second hand) books to keep me company and still have more work to do Re: the assessment day. Studying...Ick.
