dont stop me now!

Cos its the weekend and that means..... 

im FREEEEEE!!!

i had to stay late at school marking a load of books and it was really weird leaving so much later than usual... i have to admit, im the first one out the door when that bell rings! Its not that im a slacker, i just prefer to get my work done at home, rather than spend MORE time after schools over :p

So now its officially the weekend and even tho i do have a little bit of work to do (still got those pesky subject reports to finish... the deadline is monday so its NEARLY done with!!) im determined to make this weekend a good one. one that COUNTS! Sooo, tomorrow im going to have a nice lie-in - but not an all day lie in where i dont get up till noon and then dont eat breakfast till lunch and then get all loopy and ED-ish. No no no. Im gonna lie in till i naturally wake up, then casually (emphasis on casually!) get up, without obsessively stretching (must stick to this to prove i CAN) and having a nice shower and breakkie before i get ready to meet my friend Adam :)

We had such a good chat and catch up last weekend, that he suggested we do it again! bless him... he struggles with mental health issues too and i know he appreciates having someone to talk to about it - just as i do too! its nice that we can relate to each other on this personal level... we've been besties for years, in fact he's the first person i started "hanging out with" again after i was ill and housebound with M.E.... so he means alot to me! ANYhoo. we are gonna meet up in town and wander down to my old stomping ground, the institute - where i did my art foundation course. I still pass by it almost everyday, but this weekend final year show is on so im gonna go and check out what talent the fine art course has produced this year! Should be fun :)

So thats my saturday plans... i think the mothership is coming home in the evening, which is fabooshski. Hopefully we can have a nice dinner and maybe do something on the sunday, i know she wanted to get a birdhouse type thing, so maybe ill drag her down to homebase or B&Q for a "non-active adventure"... haha! Otherwise there is a yoga class on, but i dont really have any spare casheroonies to spend at the moment, so im trying to do frugal cheapy things instead!!! plus i dont want my ED and obsessive exercisey head-stuff to start making me feel like i "have" to do yoga, sometimes i just cant be arsed y'know! unlike walking... ahhh how i love me some walking :p

RIGHT! im off to potter about getting bits and bobs sorted for my OH-SO exciting friday night.... in front of the tv. Sad?? perhaps, but what can i say - im an overworked, underpaid, EXHAUSTED teacher. i defs deserve some chill-time :p

Is it just me, or does anyone else value a nice cosy night in over a raving night out?! maybe im just getting old!!!

Have a good friday night all you party people... 

WHATEVER your plans are!!
