NoJoMo 19

I just wasn’t feeling it yesterday.
Ben and I sat around together all day yesterday. In the evening we had dinner and pudding and watched some tv, then he was playing games and I was scrapbooking and it got quite late and I just couldn’t be bothered to turn my computer on to write an entry.
I wrote 2 entries on the 17th, and the second one was in the early hours on the 18th, so I haven’t even cheated myself with NJM! 

I was also supposed to go to a Bristol Roller Derby fundraiser last night. 
And I didn’t. And I feel terrible.
The league is struggling and I know the fundraisers are the only way we can make extra money so that we can still function without the skaters subs going up.
And by the sounds of things on facebook they all got drunk and had a really good time. Man, I’m lazy.

I was moaning a few weeks ago about being overwhelmed by all the social things I’m invited to and I need to learn to say no.
So I said no. I shouldn’t feel bad.

I’m supposed to be going out tonight too.
It’s Steve and Kola’s 2 year anniversary and they’re having a little dinner party to celebrate.
I’ve never been to an anniversary party before, I find the whole idea a bit of a weird concept.
I guess the gays love to entertain 🙂
Ben’s got the car which means I’m going to have to catch the bus or a taxi to their place. Rach is coming with me so I guess a taxi won’t be that expensive if we’re splitting the fare in half.

The fact I’ve got plans later explains why I’m writing this entry in the middle of the day.
I’ve also got some food in the oven- I’m starving and won’t make it to 8pm if I don’t eat something now.

Elroy came for kitten cuddles yesterday morning and this morning.
He’s so soft and fuzzy and lovely- I love kitten cuddles.
He’s a grumpy fucker the rest of the time.
He’s also making it very difficult to scrapbook anything, he wants to sit on everything.

I made some fridge magnets yesterday. I like them. I’ll post pictures tomorrow.

The various things I’ve ordered online have all arrived over the last 2 days.
My new boots are HOT 😀
And my wheel bearings arrived. I like changing and cleaning the wheels and bearings on my skates. I get to use tools and I feel butch.

Our work roster gets updated every Friday.
I checked yesterday and they’ve taken one of my shifts away from me next week.
That means from this week and next week I would have worked 2 days in 2 weeks.
I’m seriously loving the time off after the manic summer I had, but my bank balance is going to be very hungry come the end of the month.
Welcome to winter in the airline industry.
I’ve got Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off. Home standby on Wed, Thurs, Sat and Sun next week.
My only working day is on Friday. Totally lame.
I can only sit at home and hope they call me in to work one of my standbys, all the while secretly hoping they don’t.
With all this time stuck at home I’m determined to finish this fucking scrapbook. 
I managed to stick in all the stuff I had from 2006 yesterday. 
And I got a good head start on some of 2007 this morning. Just got to keep going- I’ll thank myself in the end.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
