- Ow. My earlobes are currently reddish purple and throbbing. I went from a regular ear piercing hole to the smallest gauge this morning. It’s probably only double (maybe 2.5x) the size of a normal earring post, but my goodness, did it sting! I have wanted to get some of those cool curly earrings for ages, but they are always just that bit bigger than a normal earring post. Yesterday while Miss Jones got her ears pierced twice more (tough as fuck) I bought some new bone spirals and the girl recommended I get some plain barbels in a similar gauge because I haven’t worn earrings for months and my ear holes will need to get used to being reopened. My ears totally resisted the barbels yesterday when I tried but this morning right after I hot shower I jammed them through. They don’t love me for it, but they are in now and they are settling down already so I think they’ll be right. I’ll leave them alone for a couple of weeks so they can get used to things before I piss them off again with new earrings.
- I had the day off yesterday and I was the best ever. Got to wake up late with Miss Jones, watch a movie in bed, go out for lunch, do some shopping, come home for a nanna nap then collected Jac from the airport and we went to dinner and wandered around the markets for a bit. I so miss nothing days like that. Weekends now I spend seeing Miss Jones and trying to get all the school shit I need for the coming week sorted, so it was nice to have a bonus day for just fun stuff.
- I’m getting so excited by the prospect of re-entering the corporate world. I loved dressing nicely to go work in an office and I really loved working in the city. I hate wearing a polo shirt to work as much as I thought I would and it is just another little thing that makes me resentful. I found out on Thursday that another staff member is resigning in a couple of weeks so they are kinda dropping like flies at the moment. Last week, a couple of days the kids were all in a really foul mood and crying and whining and it just made everything feel depressing.
- I signed up to a bootcamp in a knee jerk reaction to Miss Jones leaving. I need to torture myself through socially acceptable means so I figured trotting around a park being shouted at should be punishment enough. The bonus bit is that I should become fitter and more toned as the result of my punishment so win, win really. I want to get a cap/half sleeve tattoo quite badly but I want better arms first so this is the first step on the path to truly disappointing The Olds.
- I want a Pomeranian so badly. I saw one at the markets yesterday, she was so gorgeous and wearing such a cute little outfit. She had the most beautiful hair and just looked like a little pom pom with a face. I could just die, go google Pomeranians and you’ll just get it. Obviously I won’t get one, but I am extremley clucky for a dog baby and am seriously considering buying dog accessories to just save for when I finally go ahead and buy a ball of fluff. Is it lame? Is it weird to get clucky for animal babies and not human babies??
Bootcamp is awesome! It’s great to have a different mix of things, plus you know it’s only for a shortish while, and they measure your results. Can’t wait to hear about it.
Also – pomeranians are my dream dog!! I love the little black ones, I just wish they didn’t shed… so adorable

I hate small yappy dogs like pomeranians! I’d rather have a lab, something I can get my arms round and *hug*

Jay’s kidding. He doesn’t really hate little dogs like that. He’s not allowed to hate dogs of any type, unless perhaps they’re big mean individual dogs that bite people. Then I’ll allow him to hate. Maybe. Until then, he doesn’t hate them. I’d still rather a lab, but little dogs are still dogs.
Want to hear all about bootcamp, I can see the appeal but I’m far too much of a big sook to ever take it on.
