Alright, that's a lie. I did remember earlier today, several times in fact, but just kept putting it off.
And now it's bedtime, I still haven't prepared my lunch/dinner for tomorrow, and I'm bloody knackered.
Today was a brilliant day, actually. I woke up at 6, shut my alarm off, and went back to sleep. Oh, glorious sleep-ins! I finally woke up at 10! Actually, I kinda woke up before that, but I was drifting in and out, and was engaging in some rather fun, albeit weird lucid dreaming.
Of course, waking up so late does have its consequences. I had breakfast only at 11, which meant that lunch was at 4, and dinner was at 9.30. Oh, and all three of my meals today were lovely! It's great being home, really; I had time to prepare all my meals properly. Breakfast was a tomato and onion omelette. Lunch was...wow, lunch was actually really good. Grilled orange chicken on salad. So simple, so satisfying. Dinner...well, I surprise myself sometimes. I cooked fish! Fish that wasn't salmon! For those of you who know me well...you're probably surprised too, if not a little impressed.
Here's the cheating bit: I bought a ready-filleted piece from the supermarket. You know, the kind that has no head and no tail and therefore doesn't really look like fish. I can deal with that! But anyway. Baked it with a bit of garlic and thyme and it was tastier than I'd thought!
I see how this is going to be a lifestyle change. I have to wake up earlier to have time for a proper breakfast, then I've started planning and cooking my own meals, and then I've been (and this is the biggest shocker) going to bed before midnight!
I'll tell you this though: today was tough. I'd much rather be in the office - at least there, I'm busy, and not surrounded by food. Today? Grandmum came over. 'Nuff said, really.
I was bored, and there was all this FOOD. Nan made pancakes; there was ice cream and lingonberry jam to go with it. There were mumcooked jemput-jemput (banana fritters for the non-Singaporean lot of you). There was.....so much more, but I refused to sit at the table.
Ugh. Today was a day of temptation; I'm almost glad to be going back to work tomorrow. Almost, but not quite.
BabyNeal came over today (well, his parents did too, but BabyNeal is the one who has me all smitten!) and he is just so adorable. Love him to BITS. He's just so clever and charming and cuter than a button. Which isn't difficult; I've never found buttons all that cute.
Oh! And latest ep of Chuck? CLIFFHANGER LIKE WHOA. (Neko: wahahaa, hangover!)
Season finale of Weeds? CLIFFHANGER LIKE WHOA.
Thank goodness for HIMYM. Simple, but clever humour. WITH NO CLIFFHANGERS KTHX.
I leave you with my favourite Barney Stinson quote of the week:
Barney: You need to be like.. you are the weakest link, goodbye! Punchy, the tribe has spoken. Please pack up your knives and go. Your work of art didn’t work for us. Your time’s up! I have to ask you to leave the mansion. You must leave the chateau. Your tour ends here. You’ve been chopped!
Ted: Ok, yeah, I know...
Barney: You’ve been evicted from the Big Brother house. Your dessert just didn’t measure up. Sashay away! Give me your jacket, and leave Hell’s Kitchen! I’m sorry, you did not get a rose. You have been eliminated from the race. You are no longer in the running to be America’s Next Top Model. You’re fired! Auf Wiedersehen.
