I agree with Shane's comments in my last post - all this lack of energy and motivation is probably a result of needing to hibernate. Poor Ivan has not been well the last few days, spending most of his days in bed, so methinks his body is a little worn out. I'd previously booked tomorrow off work and all this week I've been counting down the days, anxious for a bit of a sleep in and a day without having to go out into the cold or rain. Although, I must admit, the fog in the city was absolutely gorgeous this morning, I'm glad I witnessed that.
This post is just to kill some time really - work has been flatout but now there is some calm before another storm. Our database is offline for some financial processes until some time this afternoon, after which time I'll attempt to get through this backlog of work that's been piling up on my desk. The files are now in 3 piles, and I don't want it to grow any more.
Last night we watched Madagascar and I really enjoyed it. It's a bit more childish than something like Shrek but some parts really made me laugh. I loved the penguins, funny little things.
Dad's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him. Mum and I are going shopping on Saturday for it, so I hope she has some ideas. It's hard to know what to get my dad, he has pretty much every power tool, plenty of shirts and socks (the old traditional gift) and never ever tells us what he actually would like. So hopefully Mum's sussed something out.
In other news, I am still loving Battlefield 2, despite the annoying things that can happen in a server. I just wish I had more time to play. I don't understand how people can hold down a job, a relationship, and look after a home while still getting enough sleep, and still find time to play it every night. I do have a TV addiction I suppose. But I find that on nights when there's nothing on the TV, like last night, I get carried away with playing the game and the thought of "I'll just play for like an hour" is quickly thrown aside and I end up playing for several. Oops.
Anywho, I suppose I'd better go and find something else to do to look busy. I wish there was some way I could incorporate reading Harry Potter into my workday without it looking suspicious...

251 low-quality posts and counting!
Once again it's been a while since my last update but things have just been busy lately and time seems to run away from me.
Work has been pretty flat out, as I've been relieving for my Coordinator for the last two weeks. This week I'm back to my normal duties, then I'm relieving again for another 5 weeks. It's been really interesting and I've learned a lot, but it's just meant I'm too busy to surf the web and update my blog.
During my evenings I've been doing the usual - either going to a club meeting, watching oodles of television, or playing BF2, although I've not been playing much in the last couple of weeks.
Maria and Steve return from their honeymoon today, so after work tonight we're catching up. It was Maria's birthday while they were away, so we're having an informal dinner at Mum's tonight to give her her gifts and catch up.
The Saturday just gone Ivan and I went to the football with some of his workmates as his work have a Corporate Box there, and this time they offered the Box to staff. It was a completely different experience to how it normally is at the football and it was aces. We got so much food and drink, and even though it rained we hardly noticed the weather in our protective shell.
I can't think of what else I've been up to but there ya go, a bit of an update :)

Recent happenings
I don't have much time to write at the moment because work is hella busy today, but wanted to let everyone know that in the last 24 hours Ivan and I have worked things out for the time being and are giving it another go. It's very much conditional and a "last chance" effort so there are no guarantees, but the relationship is worthy of the effort, I believe. This'll be make or break now.
Anyway, better click "Publish Post" before my boss catches me!

No title can summarise
I realise it's been a couple of weeks since I last updated, and for that I'm sorry. My birthday was nice, I got to catch up with my friends and family and just like that, another birthday was gone. Then work got really busy with the end of financial year, so I didn't get time to update. On June 30th I was at work until 10:15pm.
Last week I was only at work for a couple of days because I took some time off for my sister's wedding which was on the weekend that just passed. So I had a few days beforehand to prepare and do the last minute things, and then yesterday off to recover. Her day went off without any dramas and she looked beautiful and happy. They left for their honeymoon yesterday and are gone for 2 weeks, so hopefully they'll get time to relax.
It was a very emotionally draining time, and the last place I feel like being is at work today. While my sister gets married, my own relationship is pretty much over, and my days are mostly spent with tears stinging my eyes. I don't want to talk about it too much in great detail except to say this has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Now it's time for me to look for somewhere else to live, and so tonight I'm off to an inspection on a unit. It's made worse by the fact that we're both still in love with each other, but these underlying issues can't be solved or compromised on. So that's all I've got to say about that. I will most likely not be in the mood to write for some time.
