grace wants sleep.

*fingers crossed* will hopefully get to go to bed in 3 minutes.  If no more samples come in that space of time. Which is what has happened the past few times I’ve thought that I will get to go to sleep soon.

Last day/night of work for me for the year. Next Monday I’m going on holiday with my family. Which is exciting, we’ll be overseas from the 21st of Dec till the 15th of Jan. And then I’ve still got a week off work once we get back.

Only part I’m not excited about is not seeing C for 3 weeks.

I’m working this weekend, from 8am to middday. but its the last weekend I’m working for this year. The next weekend I made sure I wasn’t working because I didn’t want to work on my birthday, and the weekend after that I’m going away on holiday overseas for a month
But this is the second weekend in a row that I’ve worked, and I really want a break.

I’m making a calendar at the moment, where each number is a photograph I’ve taken somewhere. so far I only have 8 images though. And I may change some of them depending on what I see…also trying to decide how to display them later when I have all the numbers.

I’ll probably print them as 6×4 prints and trim them into a square…

Anyways I think I’ll have an early night tonight,

bye for now

• the weekend
• seeing C tomorrow
• meeting up with some people next weekend that I haven’t seen  in a long time, perhaps a few years.
• sleep…hopefully tonight (I’m on call)

Weekends, since I started working and moved out, I normally go back and stay at home, with my family. I now live in a town an hours drive away from where they do. Lately though, even though I sleep there, I don’t really see that much of them over the weekend… which in a way makes me feel a bit guilty, especially since I don’t spend that much time with my sister anymore… although, she doesn’t seem to want to anyway, shes always so busy studying. I’m sure I never studied that much when I was in highschool, but I guess she takes it more seriously that I did. I was always more of a last minute crammer, which worked for me…because I never failed anything and my marks weren’t too bad either, but I suppose that consistent study could have helped me get better marks. When she’s not studying, she seems to be playing the piano or practicing guitar. I sorta wish I had half the dedication she had. I’m more like, the queen of procrastination. Possibly thats why this blog was neglected for so long. But I need to change that, and actually do the things I want to get done.

5pm on Fridays I leave work and start my one hour drive, impatient to get there. Except for when work interferes.

Last weekend I worked nights on call, which means that I could get called into work at any time between 4pm and 8am the next day for both Saturday and Sunday night. So I didn’t get to go home. I don’t know what I would have done if C didn’t come and visit me on Saturday, I miss him so much when I’m not with him. We went for a walk by the river here, and did a circuit across one bridge and then another to get back to the car. I had my camera with me and he was mostly being the photographer. He was carrying it for me too. I didn’t really take many photos, but I may start actually using the photoblog and posting more photos. Need to fix up a few parts of the layout first. (I know, more procrastination. ). I got no sleep on Saturday night, and consequently spent all of Sunday sleeping or trying to sleep until I got called in again at 4pm. Then I got all of Monday off because my last call out finished at 8am, and we get a 9 hour break from the last time we get called in. I spent most of that day sleeping or trying to as well. I’ve found its hard to sleep during the day when its light outside, especially when the neighbour has a pet lamb for some reason and it keeps baa-ing really loudly. Monday morning I slept really well though because it was all rainy and miserable outside, and thats perfect weather for sleeping… plus I think I was feeling more tired than Sunday.

This weekend, I won’t get to drive over till I’ve had a sleep on Saturday morning… well I could but I think I’d be likely to fall asleep on the way and crash…

Next weekend I’m flying to Auckland for a conference, which lasts all day Saturday, but I have Sunday free to do what I like till my flight that evening. Wish I could take C with me. But yeah I guess it will be good to catch up with people.

Yesterday evening C and his sister K came here, because K has gymnastics training here sometimes, usually on friday nights but there was an extra practice because of a team competition or something. I don’t know for sure, but I was so happy to see C. I think he was happy to see me too. hehe. All too soon he had to leave…

Anyway I’m at work at the moment, and I’m writing this in between doing work, because theres quite often a gap where I have to wait for stuff. And I think this is long enough for now.

Bye

… its 4.14 am and I’m at work. Where I’d much prefer to be is asleep somewhere.

In my inbox today…

Right… is there anyone out there who would actually contact them?

I’m excited that its friday (: and that I’m not working this weekend, and most of all that I am going to see C in a few hours time (:

This morning at work seems to have dragged on and on. I don’t know why when you are waiting for something it seems to take forever. Right now I’m at lunch, half an hour left of my lunch break, then its back to work for 3 hours, then I get to drive for an hour, and then I’ll see C (:

By the way, its been a while since I’ve felt like writing anything here, and the other day I decided I wanted to start again. But I wanted a fresh start, so the old posts were deleted. Wonder how long this will last for?
