HOORAY FOR FRIDAY! I woke up very sleepy this morning, but that shouldn't be any surprise with the lack of sleep that I've been getting. I did feel energized though for someone who feels like that could sleep for half of the day. It's amazing what Friday can do for you. Even on the way to work I met a couple of co-workers who already couldn't wait until they day was over because they felt exhausted with what the week provided them, but I felt really good. Don't get me wrong, I also couldn't wait until the working day was done.

I made a little plan this week, subconsciously I guess. That anything that came my way that would normally send me over the edge in a rage of fury, I would just smile a big smile. But then half of the things that came my way this week were stuff that I had already predicted. I remember about 10 years ago when I was doing a quick psychology 6 week course, was the teacher told us the best way to not get mad very quick - especially about things you knew were going to happen - was to pretend that you received a phone call in the morning and the phone call would go something like this...

*Phone rings*

"Hello?" - Me

"Is this Wanda?" - Stranger

"Um... yes it is... who is this?" - Me

"I can't say, they'll kill me if they knew I was calling you." - Stranger

"Um.. ok." - Me

"I'm calling to warn you that someone you know will do anything to piss you off today. I heard them talking about it while I was at the movies last night." - Stranger

"Who'll piss me off? Who is this?" - Me

"I TOLD you I can't say! But I heard a couple of people laughing, that they would try everything to make your day miserable." - Stranger

*Phone cuts off*

So when you have something like this in mind, you already know someone will tick you off today in a big way. So when it does happen, you're prepared for it and it doesn't have the impact it would usually have because you've expected it. Sort of like knowing that a surprise party is going to happen.

Was another big day at work as we had to do more testing every hour on the hour. So while I tried to get a lot of work done, I was distracted and pulled out of the zone every hour to participate in the testing. On the plus side, no more testing. The down side is, I still have a big objective which I've sent myself which I need to be completed by the end of next week. Since Gloria helped me a lot today, we've already cut down half what I had to start with, so it seems like it is going well and right on track.

After work I had an appointment to go to, which was over in a few minutes. And the few times that I've done to Martin Place for this appointment I always knew that was some sort of gardens or park across the road, but with the high fences I couldn't tell what it is. Today though I decided that I'd have a sneak peak while listening to a few Muse songs. Low and behold it was Botanic Gardens! Didn't realize they were just here!

When I got home, I gave my aunt and my cousin to call to see what plans they had for tomorrow and it seems as though that they haven't got anything planned. So tomorrow planning on going to see my cousin just after lunch, after I take Howard to the vet again as it has already been two weeks and there has been no singing still.
