Why bother?

Today is proving to be a waste of time and I wonder why I bothered coming in to work today. I was supposed to have a meeting this morning about this project I'm working on because I've gotten as far as I can on my own, but the guy who's supposed to be helping me apparently forgot we were supposed to meet up today and has taken a Flexi day. Joy. I still have my Licensing work to do but I've done all I can at the moment without my boss giving me more work (which I've already gone down and asked for). On top of all that they've moved me down the other end of the building so I can be closer to the project team for a couple of weeks and it's so quiet down here that I keep walking back to my old desk to talk to people.

Anywho, enough complaining (for now).

The weekend was lovely and relaxing. On Saturday morning I just did a little housework and ran a couple of errands and then had the rest of the day to relax. Ivan and I caught up on a lot of TV show watching and watched a couple of movies we've been meaning to watch for a while, and I spent a lot of time chatting online which I just don't get to do as much these days.

On Sunday Ivan had a lot of work to do so I went to my Grandma's by myself to celebrate her birthday. She's 79 now, and unfortunately, we all start to notice that she's starting to fade. It's really sad to see but I think she had a nice afternoon. Maria, Steve and I were there all afternoon, then Mum and Dad arrived around 4pm, when Mum finished work, and I stayed for another hour and a half so I could catch up with them.

Mum goes into hospital today for day surgery and at the moment she's all I can think about. She should be hoem tonight but I'm only going over tomorrow afternoon, as she'll be out of it and not really up to company tonight. I wish I was there though, although she says it's pointless for us all to be sitting there while she's in surgery, so Dad's the only one going. My father can't stand hospitals though, so I'm not sure how well he'll cope. I just called to wish Mum luck, although it hasn't eased my mind too much.

In other news, I've really enjoyed getting back into online gaming after a brief hiatus. We had a bf1942 scrim last night and I love the way the clan I'm in works together. Our war is tonight so I have faith that we'll do well after seeing how well we did last night.

I am really scared I've put on weight this week. I'm 99% sure I have, in fact. It was a terrible week with a lot of takeaway, and for Grandma's birthday we had KFC, and I was devastated to get home and look in my book to find the one piece of chicken I had was almost worth half my daily points total. Terrible. I got on the exercise bike for 50 minutes as a result but methinks I've blown it this week. Oh well, I guess I'll find out around noon today when I get weighed, and no point worrying about it now I suppose, just have to deal with it. One of the reasons I've been posting my weight here is to try and keep me focussed and on track. We shall see if it works when I have to post that I've gone backwards!

Hmm, half an hour of typing and three conversations later and I still have no work to do. I could go home I suppose, but I don't have any Flexi leave left and don't want to use any other leave up. This is going to be a long day...
