The reason I love it so much is because each dot point will bring back a memory. Even the little things like having a cup of tea or a small walk. In the midst of the working week, it often feels like the weekend was far away. In the same vain, if the weekend was filled to the brim with errands or tasks, it can feel like no weekend was had at all. I have done this a few times on paper and it has always helped me out things in perspective, and let me enjoy the now rather than regret the could-have-should-have-but-decided-to-not-gym-and-eat-that-extra-slice-of-cake.
So this was my weekend.
- woke feeling like I dreamt a lot but could not recall anything
- slowly getting ready for the day and putting on a new playsuit in my favourite colour (blue)
- meeting up with the husband's beloved mother, aunt and uncle and complimenting said uncle's brand new shiny car.
- taking back the Dyson for a service as it wasn't working up to scratch. 10 minutes later it is good to go.
- having a poached eggs with spinach, avocado and pesto on sourdough for brunch.
- purchasing some stools we had been eying for the island bench
- stocking up on plain and white tees as I always seem to lose them.
- meeting up with friends to look at the shops
- making last minute plans to go into the city to watch the Asia Cup final.
- heading home and admiring the stools in the kitchen.
- lazily watching an episode of The Originals. We are obsessed.
- getting ready for the night
- catching the train into the city and feeling ready for dinner.
- having Thai with extra veggies
- taking a long leisurely walk to the Star to watch the match
- thinking the Star too full when we couldn't find chairs to enjoy the game.
- after my feet hurting from a cut i sustained earlier in the week, and a growing headache, we decided to quickly head home to watch the second half.
- walking past a bar on the water that was half empty with available seats in front of a very large screen showing the match.
- not believing our luck and promptly sitting down with beer and cider in hand.
- watching the crowd fill the bar only 10 minutes later.
- cheering, screaming and yelling at the match for the next two hours of what was an exciting and nerve wracking game. Australia won!
- admiring the Sydney 9pm fireworks right behind us, which conveniently went off at half time.
- walking back to the station and chatting on the way home.
- waking from yet another night full of dreams.
- resisting the need to get up for as long as possible
- hurriedly getting dressed and heading to an electronics store to choose a brand new dishwasher
- being very excited with our purchase. We both dislike doing the dishes.
- feeling hungry but having a long to do list.
- letting my husband go pick up the dishwasher with a larger car as I stayed home
- overcoming obstacles with the installation but being successful. DIY is no longer daunting to us.
- finally having lunch and relaxing
- the husband headed off for a soccer game as I headed off to costco for a huge grocery run
- feeling quite healthy as I put through my items, which were predominantly green.
- catching the last of the husband's game
- heading to dinner at our favourite Chinese restaurant with my parents and brothers.
- quickly popping in for a cup of tea at my mother in law's.
- cleaning up the kitchen and admiring the dishwasher. It works great.
- making green juices for the week ahead
- watching another episode of The Originals
- heading to bed for the week ahead.
