in need of a holiday...

...but I guess that wont happen for a while. This weekend definitely passed too quickly!

On Friday went to a leaving party for my Brazilian friend, and came home at noon the next day. It was a bit sad and I almost didn't go, as I hadn't seen her in ages I would have missed her less if I just didn't show up, but I'm not *that* cynical - yet. It was great though, we went dancing and I actually felt my age (as in, I actually felt like 23 as opposed to... I dunno, 30, spending most of my time with people who, though lovely, have very different priorities and lifestyles).

Spent the rest of Saturday on the couch and Sunday I went to IKEA. There's supposedly one much closer to me in Croydon, but I couldn't figure out how to get there so just went to Edmonton on the other side of London. It was worth it, though I managed to comletely mismatch my bedspread with the walls - they're a very odd brown colour and it kind of really doesn't work. I can't be arsed trying to exchange it though, I'll just have to bear it. It's not as if I will spend that much time looking at it - there's nowhere else to hang in my room than on the bed, still, it bugs me as I usually manage to turn my habitats very pleasant. It's still cozy, just. Not perfect.

On a completely unrelated note, have I mentioned how much I love my new tube station?
Not only do they play classical music in the mornings, but they have an extra status board, (usually associated with 'oh my god victoria line is delayed will be late for work gaah') where someone puts a thought of the day, a motivational quote of some kind. They're usually pretty inspiring (and so far there's only been religious elements once).

This morning was the most depressive thing, it was pouring down and windy and I stayed in bed till 8 and still made it to work only 5 mins late... but now it's cleared up great, the weather reminds me of Barca somehow - sunny and clear but with a chill. Anyway, I'm greatful the weather is supposed to be decent as the sis is coming on Wednesday! and staying over the weekend, which should be fun.

Not much to bitch about today, I did wake up with a nosebleed again in the middle of the night which is often terrifying, and is making me a bit more tired than usual (4am is not a good time to stay up for an hour as far as your sleep cycle is concerned).

Also, I need a new laptop, there's a huge sale on but it ends Tuesday and we get paid on Wednesday.
*grr*
