Quiet weekend

Ohgoshlookatthetime. I haven't made much progress with that last assignment this weekend, I must admit. Friday night was spent tinkering on the PC, before crashing early. I'm not sure why, but Friday nights seem to be the one night of the week where I run out of steam ridiculously early. I think I'm getting old, and 8 hours of sleep just doesn't happen for me during the weeks. Nor 7, and sometimes not 6, for that matter. So I think I'm just buggered by Fridays.

Yesterday would have been my mom's 56th birthday. Being the first birthday after she passed away, I knew it was approaching, and wasn't looking forward to it, but I guess it's one of those things you have to go through. It wasn't too bad in the end, but still a bit of a gloomy day.

For the first time in months, we went to Cresta for breakfast yesterday morning. I spent the rest of the day doodling around with my blog app, and watching tons of Jeeves & Wooster. Today's followed pretty much the same pattern. As I mentioned, I should've spent the weekend doing my final assignment for the year, but considering that a fairly earnest and draconian study programme needs to be embarked upon pronto if I don't want a miserable January exam stretch, it's been a real treat having a totally lazy and self-indulgent weekend. I might not have another of these in a while.
