i can highly recommend...

...having a midweek day off. even though today felt like a monday, i knew it was thursday and there is only one more day of torture this week... do i sound like i am totally over this job?? i certainly am. i have a week off coming up soon. i'm soooo looking forward to that. i'll probably not go anywhere but it was the only week available for leave between now and april, so i made it mine. it will be a good time to do some serious job hunting as i'll be able to go for interviews without being restricted by trying to fit them in outside of working hours.

i went to the supermarket tonight and bought a sh*tload of stuff to do some serious cooking. i made a very delish tuna/pasta salad for dinner and over the weekend will be making a lamb curry, chicken and mushroom lemon risotto and my favourite chicken/vegetable stir-fry with chili jam. i'll freeze it all in plastic containers for lunches/dinners and i won't have to cook again for ages...

a 6 dog day but hopefully my dog quota will soon be off the richter - i've signed up to do some volunteer dog walking/grooming at the sydney dog's home. i sent off the initial email last night and hope to hear from them soon about getting started. i looked about their site and they foster dogs out to people's home to avoid having to put them down. there were so many cute dogs waiting for adoption, i was in tears at the circumstances of some of the poor little doggies. i'd foster or adopt one (or three) myself but it is just not possible at the moment. one day...

today's soundtrack:
kicking the national habit : grand national (i've played it so much, that even when i don't have the earphones in, it still plays in my head... obsessed...)
