TGIF
The weekend is almost here and OMG it can't come soon enough! This feels like the slowest week in history.
Still, I'm only at work for three and a half days next week, and that half day I'm working at home, so my week off is nearly upon me!
Tomorrow I'm heading up to Newcastle for the weekend to have a pre-birthday celebration with my friends. I think the plan tomorrow is just to chill out and maybe watch some movies or something. Sunday we're going to the cat cafe. It's become a tradition to go there if any of us is having a birthday and who doesn't want to spend their birthday (or pre-birthday in my case) eating cake and petting kitties :D
I found out yesterday just before I finished work that the Sweden vs Finland hockey game was earlier than I thought. Timezones are tricky. But I managed to find a working stream with a few minutes to spare. Sadly, then, my hockey curse came into effect. Every single time I've sat down to watch a hockey game my team has lost. I'm talking a 100% here. This is why I stopped making an effort to watch the Pens games during the playoffs.
So, yeah, Sweden lost in overtime. I mean I can't be too upset because the game winning goal was scored by Olli Maata who is also a Penguin. It was an odd game actually. I had no idea there was such a major rivalry between Sweden and Finland. Two fights broke out during the game and there were SO MANY PENALTIES. Haggy ended up in the box twice. So disappointed.
But it was nice to be watching hockey again. Not sure when I'll next be able to watch a game because I'm away this weekend and then heading away again on Thursday for WriterConUK. I'll have to take a look at the schedule.




I wish i could do this! Happy birthday in advance!
Thanks!
I always think of Wednesday as the "survive this" day. This week? This week it was Thursday and, just, ugh! I'm off today, but that just means I have some freelance work to do. I'm saving my time off until November. But I'd love to have a week off. (Or, you know, be independently wealthy so I could quit both jobs. I'd keep the freelance; it's the one that pays well — if rarely — and whose boss doesn't take me for granted.)
Good luck with the rest of your week!
Tuesday was the worst day for me this week which I think is one of the reasons the week has felt so long.
I think we all dream of being independently wealthy :D
Cat cafe! What a lovely way to spend a birthday :)
I'm looking forward to it :D
