I want a longer weekend!
It just goes too quickly. Especially considering Sunday is consumed by the boy playing sport - i really only get one day!
Friday night the boy came to visit, and to be perfectly honest, we were exhausted. We fell on the couch, managed to get up to cook a quick dinner and then fell asleep.
Saturday we had a good day - went out for brekkie, walked up and down the street looking at shops, then went to watch the AFL game on Saturday night. My team won! I'm a Hawks supporter and the boy is a Saints supporter, so i'm wrapped! We made a bet before the game - whoever lost had to make a roast for the other person. I'm usually the chef in the house, so i'm having a roast MADE for me next weekend. I'm so happy!
Made some good food choices too. Could have easily had a meat pie and a bottle of Coca Cola at the game, but pre-made some chicken and low fat mayonaise bread rolls to take with us. I even bought the boy a sweet from the bakery, and i didnt want one.
I dont know where this self discipline has come from, but i have a lot presently. I turned down a meat pie and coke, turned down a muffin at the bakery, and then KFC last night on the way home from the Gridiron.
Some bad news that i'm kind of stressing about. Just to add to the pile. My boy is a tanner, so he works with leather and grades the quality of leather before it is made into shoes etc. The drought is so bad here, that where he works has had to fire about 20 people this morning. No cows = no leather = no work.
My boy spoke to his manager and he said that he's about 80% sure my boy will keep his job. But still, it's really nervy. The idea of being on one income for a while, and him being so down about it.
He gets depressed really easily. One little kick to his self confidence, and he's down very quickly. For example, if he doesnt get as much time on the ground at football, he'll get a bit upset about it, or if he was to lose his job, he would take it personally rather than rationalising and realising it's just due to the current climate.
And you know what? He doesnt even like his job that much. He loves the guys he works with, but he doesnt enjoy what he does. If he does (god forbid) lose his job, then maybe it's a blessing in disguise?
I guess all i can do is reasure him that he's a fantastic person, a really genuine, caring guy and thats why i love him.
Hope you all had a great weekend.
Welcome back Aly!
