DOCTORS CERTIFICATE...

yesterday i go sent home from work within half an hour of beginning my shift. that's the first time i've ever been sent home before. even if i was sick at school, because my mum taught at the same school i just had to sleep in the back of her class until the school day was over.

today i woke up still feeling like someone was having a drum & bass gig in my head. every step i took equalled a good thump to my brain. not cool.

i mustered up the courage to seek professional medical help. (i usually google everything..) so now not only have i got an official gp (i think the last gp i had i was like, 7?) because i never go to the doctor. i have a real big "i'll sleep it off" mentality about everything. (that failed when i contracted a kidney infection earlier this year by the way).

basically she told me i was run down & working too much. i was like, umm hello? do you know the life i like to live? do you know my shopping have to haves? (hahahaha) but anywho, she wanted to give me a week off to rest and recover and i was like "hellz no!" 2 days max (and i was totally gonna go to work tomorrow) but i'm still not feeling 100% so perhaps i'll take her advice and use the doctors cert and have 2 days off work.

i'm slightly gutted because this weekend is our work party which means free piss and a free feed at a swanky restaurant on the waterfront (i mean hello, i work at a bank!) but i don't want my team leaders to be all like, "oh well she's had the last 3 days off and here she is getting pissed on the free bar tab".. fml and my morals.

so i think i will still go to the dinner part, but retire early once everyone starts to hit the juice. i don't really have anything to wear anyway, considering the theme is "silver and gold" (wtf?) i have gold strappy wedges and silver peep toe heels but no silver and/or gold clothing..

it has taken me over 24 hrs to watch "eat, love, pray".. i don't know if it was because the movie was shit, or if i was feeling like shit, or a combination of both but i kept falling asleep during it hahahahaha.

and i'm not sure if you still read this, (because i'm pretty sure that i said to piss off and stop reading my shit so i can rant about you haha) but if you still do, thank you.. 143 ^_^

P.S: my aunty (the one i lived with overseas) was in the country and bought me this.. yaaaay!

THINGS WORTH MENTIONING..

- D.I.N.K.S = me & friend boy are currently working 2 jobs, it's nice to have your head above water again

- New Flattie = Canadian dude who is so obviously fucked up he is actually one of the most normal human beings I've ever met

- Christmas & New Years = Samoa here I come!!

- No Sun = my legs being so white they glow

- Lazy Sundays = working 6 days a week make me appreciate the Lord's "day of rest" so much more

- Living with 4 boys & 1 girl = no more dramas!! (but the bathroom needs to be disinfected alot more frequently haha)

- Gots me some new headphones (FINALLY!) How I heart my Sennheisers..

- Friendboy's brother came back from 10 days in Hawaii and he finally got his BBD's

- The Boondocks = like seriously? no-one told me about this before??? My Canadian flatmate intro'd me this week and apparently everyone knew about it a couple of year ago.. Have I really been living that much of a sheltered life?

- Working alongside the friendboy = we're bothing teacher aiding at his mum's school.. we were skeptical that it would work but it actually is pretty cool.. One of those things that I highly doubt will ever happen again to be honest so we're making the most of it

- Impromptu Dates = being shown around friend boys work place, and then continuing on to town for cocktails at The Library, a dance at Mixjah and then a stroll home...

24 - 7? MORE LIKE 25 - 8..

so much to say, so little time.. that's what happens when you work 13hr days and that thing called sleep is not as common or frequent as it once was. not to mention the both of us are working 13hr days that span over 6 of the 7 days of the week. everything and everyone else fit somewhere in between running after buses and paying bills...

PN WOAH...

ahhhh the goodness of palmy.. i went home on saturday after work to spend the night with my nana. it's her birthday today, but i had to work so the best i could offer her was having me over for the weekend. i did plan to take her out for tea and for brunch on sunday morning but she was totally not interested! lolz i had to COOK! jeez! but i did it and i made a little old lady happy.

it reminded me that the people you once thought would be around forever, actually aren't. it made me sad to think that she was all alone in her big house next to drug dealers. (like, actually. he's a dealer).

when i first arrived all i could do was mock what i considered to be "junk" around the house and i was itching to throw crap out and re-arrange everything to be more spacious and easy to move around. then it hit me. it wasn't my place to do that. i mean seriously, how pissed would i be if someone came to my flat and did that to my stuff? how rude was i for even thinking that all her stuff was junk? i decided that i'd leave it because in all honesty compared to having 'not alot' growing up in samoa, her house is her castle.. i had no right what-so-ever in touching anything. i can't believe it's taken me lik, 25yrs to finally come to that realization. i mean, my nana has been telling me off for that for as long as i can remember! haha!

but anywho, i spent 25hrs away from wellington and i really couldn't wait to go back. in all honesty, i think it was the freedom to do whatever i wanted whenever i wanted that i missed the most. i did however, manage to 'sort of' ask permission to use her car to go and visit my friend who had a baby shower that day & drop off her present. (on a side note: OMG how expensive is palmers no stretch marks tummy butter?!). i must get my license! i'm so naughty for driving around without one. i miss driving.

this youtube clip reminded me of how much (at times) i actually miss palmy. especially the price of living compared to here & the plaza (like actually!!)

randomness:

- welsh dude moved out on sunday leaving this note on the white board: "guys & girls, it's been emotional. good luck for exams etc." (like seriously WTF? who writes that?!)

- new flat mate, canadian dude moved in on sunday. i'm pretty sure he's a self made millionaire aaaaand also a stoner & low-key alchy that's just bumming around the world because he can.

big week ahead:

- the girls arrived from samoa yesterday & are here for 10 days

- ghetto booty arrives from auckland this thursday and is here until sunday

- friendboy's dad arrives from samoa on thursday after being away since june

- mumzy comes down for the day on saturday to get her haircut at buoy

hmmm that's all i can think of for now..

have a great week y'all.
