I'm still tired, still waiting for a chance to have a relaxing night with my book/a movie and not do anything. Hopefully tomorrow can be that night!

I feel a bit ill today though. I have a feeling that it is because I got covered in some kind of oil today from a Galileo Thermometer, and it stinks and it's probably that smell that is making me feel queasy. I hope so anyway. I'll have a shower in a moment and put of fresh clothes and see how I go.

I am looking forward to the weekend. Friday night it's Bada Bing time again and this week lots of people are going. Bec and Jacquie, plus a few other usuals and even Leigh, Adam and their friend Alice who lives in Bendigo is down for the weekend and is coming out with us. I'm excited about it. I even kind of want to drink this time, but I know I will probably end up driving. Why does Leigh have to live all the way in Tyabb? I much preferred Langwarrin/Frankston for those night where we needed a taxi home, or could score a lift.

Although, not all hope is lost. I might be able to score a lift yet. Then again, getting a lift usually means having to leave early and I'd rather be sober and still out at 3:30am than drunk and home by 1:30.

Saturday is the Dog Club fun day, which means Honey and I get to do a little fun competition and try to do more obstacles than all the other beginner dogs. She's getting pretty good, and hopefully she will be in the mood to work. If she is she shouldn't have a problem with any of the obstacles. She actually likes tunnels now, became fond of the table last class and even did a jump that she could have gone under just for the hell of it. As long as I take my weaves slowly we should be fine. It will be nice if we can move up to the novice class. The only obstacle I can't do yet is a chute, and for anyone who knows what Honey was like when I first tried agility, they'll know what an amazing achievement this is for us.

Sunday I will hopefully be going horseriding for the first time since I was in England. I ran into my old riding instructor on Monday and she asked me if I was still riding. I said no, not really but that I really do want to start doing it regularly again. She told me she has a lot of horses that need exercise and if I have time to go down she will happily put me to work. I'll call her tomorrow and see if Sunday works, or maybe one night during the week. I'm really excited about that. With this offer, and the chance to help Leigh's mum get her horses back into work I could be riding 4 days a week again, which I haven't done since I was about 12. It would be amazing to get fit again and spend time doing the one activity that makes me the happiest.

Now, to have that shower and get this stupid corrosive grease of me (yep, corrosive. You should have seen what the stuff did to the polystyrene packaging! Not to mention the sole of my shoe).
