Just for Reen

Who makes me feel guilty by enthusiastically checking my blog to see whether I have updated, and I never have! But the thing is, my blogging is usually inversely proportional to how satisfied I am with life, so no blogging is usually good news. But I'd better write something, even if it's not that exciting.

So, what has happened over the past few weeks? Well, I've reluctantly turned 27, kicking and screaming, and for the entire week before and during my birthday, I had bronchitis or some random chest infection. This was a combination of being in Seattle to see my friends from England and sleeping in a youth hostel with a flu-ridden girl in the bunk above me, my housemate Reen getting bronchitis, and then someone at work also getting bronchitis. People at work went down like ninepins, and I had the day before my birthday off. However, I then resolved not to be in bed for my birthday, so I went to work and brought a big fat chocolate cake with me. Which helped with the pain slightly.

In Seattle I got to see some friends off my masters course and had dinner up the Space Needle, which was an interesting and slightly nauseating experience, as the damn restaurant revolves while you're eating. It was also very pricey, but having done it once at least I don't have to do it again. We crashed a Superbowl party and watched Seattle lose out, but it was a good weekend. Other than that, I've been working hard, have been cross-border shopping with Sunshine, have been to see a band and have been watching the Olympics whenever I have a free moment. From Monday I will be working 12 days straight, since we have the interview event coming up and I'm going to have to do some serious overtime. I'm therefore enjoying my weekends while I can! More details shall not be posted ;o)

Oh, and I'm also feeding Christie's guinea pig for her while she's away in Egypt. It's quite entertaining to watch it chomping on a load of salad before I go to work in the mornings.
