roaringwomyn - My week off work

Updates!!

Had a week off work this week !! YAY!!
It was SO nice to be able to sleep in... mmmm...
The weather was disspointing but that's ok.. it was still great to have so much time to do WHATEVER THE FUCK I LIKED!
The one sunny day (Thurs) I spent at the botannical gardens.. taking photos of trees and bats and walkin about, doin research for a tattoo I want. This resulted in some horrible itchy hives all over my neck, chest and tops of arms! Owwww!!! Their still hanging about too.. waaa!! Not sure if was something in gardens or some dodgy preservative they added to this lentil burger I had on circular quay. I think it was actually likely all the dumb grasses in the palace section... but I didn't get any on me.. but maybe the're seeds fly around. I dunno.. haven't had this for some time! Used to get when was a child after eating fariy floss.. but got a couple of years ago from grass being rubbed against my arm.. but was only a little bit. This horrible!! ITCHY ITCHY!!

Anywho... started on my spoke word piece for Bob Buckley SLPA night,  finally got around to sending in photos and writing for memorial zine of my friend Roh,  cooked a bit - took me two goes to get the pancakes right.. they still tasted a bit full of baking soda like - but they looked like pancakes!, stayed in pj's most days till 12, practised violin abit, had lunch with old work friend Ange in China Town and met her new baby Sadie, caught up on emails, did house work, watched crap TV, spent time hanging out with house mate Carol who was sick.. thank god I didn't get it! some fucking miracle I reackon!

Wednesday was Mutiny Zine birthday..  my friend Lou had an indoors BBQ. Was nice, and Carol made special carrot and choc chip cake.. mmmm... so good!! That night was the Sheila Fest Scabaret night... was good but I wasn't feeling in such a social type mood... lots of anti nationalist performances which was quite good to see.

We had to take our cat Marley to vets on Thurs as she'd been unable to meow and laying around a lot in a sickly way. Turned out she had laringitis.. which was some off shoot infection of something worse I can't remember. But she's mendly quite nicely... meow is coming back and she begs to go outside more again.

Yesterday I went to a mental health and radical communities workshop as part of Sheila Fest. Was really good.. didn't expect it to impact on me the way it did. Made me think of the stuff I'm dealing with in counselling and how hard I can be on myself around this stuff. Hmmm... so then came home and went shopping. Debated going to Sheila Fest Film Night but felt too effected by workshop so didn't feel so social again. So made a fuck off amazing vegie pie and invited Johanna for dinner and watched silly movie.

Slept in till 11 am! Woot! Off to Scooter now!
HAve Unleash Power workshop tomorrow... really enjoying it.. not as scary as I'd thought. Though I did cry at end of first one after doing stream of consciousness writing, last week we did lots of movement which was fun.. think I wanna do dancing classes! This week I have to find something which resembles my erotic power to take to class. Hmmm..
.. Looking forward to Sheila Fest Hip Hop Night tommorrow!! Sando 7pm! ...
Not looking forward to work on Monday :(

hugs and kisses to you all m'lovelies
