I thought since my boss was away sick and I had friends arriving from interstate at 4.30pm I might actually be able to get away from work a little early. Or on time.

Wrong on both counts. Just as well I left the keys out for them.

Another day of Mental Health first aid training... barely held it together in some of this morning's session... hit a little too close to home.

Working full-time is all well and good but not when you have a 40 min commute each way and you have to study....

Box office stats. Now there's something I never thought I'd have to look at ever again.

First assignment of the trimester submitted - three days after the original due date, but four days prior to the revised one.

Now. Onto the next one.

Look, it's about as good as it's going to get and quite frankly, I'd rather go and finish my new book.

Well, I've done an outline of the assignment. Can I smash it out before 10pm so I can submit it and move on to the next one tomorrow?

Do I write my essay, THEN start on this book which arrived in the mail today, or do I just read the book?*

* Who am I kidding? I think we all know the answer is B.

Thank god I just discovered that our lecturer has given us a full week's extension on our essay because after a day spent in Mental Health First Aid training, I am in no fit state to do anything except drink a glass of wine and go to bed early.

All I really want to do is curl up in bed and go to sleep but I have an essay due on Friday morning and it's not going to write its damn self now, is it?

Thank god it's payday tomorrow. Have been juggling $$ between accounts for days now.

My acupuncturist is an angel. ANGEL. 

Let’s hope I actually get a decent night’s sleep tonight! 

6.27pm. Have I studied today?

Have I bollocks.

All the face palms.

First relatively normal day I've spent with LB in over three years. THREE. YEARS.

Thank you diazepam and pristiq.

🙌🏼

Out the door. On time. Got through a bunch of stuff. Feeling slightly less manic about work.

It's just studying that's stressing me out now.

Well yesterday's grand plan all went to shit pretty fast... I didn't leave work until 7pm.

Sigh.

Trying to be good about leaving on time - at the end of the day I'm not getting overtime and I'm theoretically out of a job come July, so I refuse to stress out over this job any more.

Back to work tomorrow. Could do with a lottery win so I never have to work again!

Three movies in one night. Amazing what you smash out when you've got to do it for uni.

I don't suppose that when my dad and a guy named Arthur started chatting about tennis on a bus ride from Croydon to the city circa 1951, they ever thought that nearly 70 years later their kids would still be hanging out playing tennis and trading in-jokes. I love my Clayton's cousins.
