The weekend highlights!

Well, it's been a weekend of surprises, and because I know everyone is so enthralled by my life I shall type up all the events of the weekend for all you readers of mine!


Well, I awoke on Friday morning after a decent sleep, with a rather horrible pain within my stomach/gut. I attempted to brush this aside and finish off my week at work, however this did not quite go to plan as work became quickly unbearable with such strong stomach pains. I called it quits half-way through my shift and endeavored forward on me 1 hour long trip home, which really did not help my stomach any....whoops. Well this is what I get for being too lazy to learn the bus schedule. I struggled home and made myself a steaming hot bath which I thought would be a great way to quell my waning stomach. I struggled to enjoy my bath as my stomach was complaining as much as old people do about the TV being too loud. I managed to get myself out of the bath, and promptly collapsed myself onto the bathrail as I could barely stand due to what was later determined to be dehydration. I then managed to crawl to the bathroom where the remains of last nights tasty dinner (and dessert) made a triumphant return up my throat and into the bowl of the toilet.

Later in the evening, feeling consistently worse, and under the advise of mummy dearest, James took me down to the after-hours clinic where I was seen to relatively promptly for a Friday night (obviously I had gotten in before all the alcohol-induced injuries flooded the clinic). I was diagnosed with having a bout of gastroenteritis and having 'bowel spasms' (doesn't that name just evoke a pleasant image?) so I got some prescriptions and pills and made my way home to begin my treatment for spastic bowels.

Saturday become a 'sit in bed and do not much else' day - which was fine by me as I was enjoying the new music that had been bought to me (the three new Manson tracks, and Placebo's which I mentioned earlier). Later that evening Kieran (my flatmate) and I battled it out on both Tekken 5 and Guitar Hero III. Naturally I was succesful in annihilating him in both games. Go me! About the only two games I can play competently. James took to the wine with our landlords, and probably slightly regretted it later... Because of the ill health I had decided against drinking for the weekend, and there's no harm in having a weekend or two off the stuff.

Sunday did not amount to much, and today, Monday I also took it easy. Being a bit overconfident and cocky as I can be at times, I decided a roast vege/chicken dish for dinner may be enjoyable on Sunday night, turns out my body didn't quite agree so this morning it was straight back to the bathroom. Apparently i'm still not the best health wise, so took the offered day off work that the doc gave me. I decided today would also be a good day to go out and start my work in photography. Unfortunately by the time James and I managed to get out and start scouting for things to take photographs of, the weather began to crap-out and I started getting exhausted so we called it quits. However now that I have Flash and Photoshop on my mac I shall be able to really start doing work on my digital manipulation projects i've been keen to get underway.


Well this is enough of a write up for now, I hope you'll keep reading on as I'll start posting up my artwork soon, critiques and comments will be appreciated!
