fantastic extended long weekend

Comment Published at 02:4702:472 comments2 comments10 Visits10 VisitsReport

what a fantastic extended long weekend i had it started from friday may 2nd my birthday. it started with a trip to the bank to get  abank cheque to pick up my brand new car that hubby got me for my birthday then i rushed around and did some food shopping and cleaned the house.

then when hubby came home we went out for dinner to volcano joes which is all you can eat. it used to be smorgys in chadstone.

had couple of barcardis came home where we had our traditional celebration with birthday cake and candles

i then baked until the wee hours of the morning (3 am) went more food shopping early in morning  (like 7am) cleaned house cut salads  set the tables. by this stage i was so dogtired i had a stitch. i needed to lie or sit down but i didnt have time.

we were having friends and relatives over for hubbys name day. its a greek tradition for name days and all greeks have name days that are named after saints day. we also had gyro which is placed on a spit.

by the time sunday came around i was so tired but silly me went to chadstone shopping centre to "look around" mind you  may sales havent started yet looks like the shops are holding off for mothers day which is sunday 9th may in australia.

believe me i was so relieved that i didnt have to go to work today because the painter was due to come in and do some renovations to our house that occured during the melbourne storms on april 2nd

i think i will have a spa because as of tomorrow im working in the city for a week or 2 and i have to fight the peak traffic

to top it all off i have a stiff neck either from sleeping crooked or a slight chill

having said all this though i feel like my three or 4 days went well. i knew it would all be over and that i could relax and take it easier again.

even though it was all go go go and hectic i feel fantastic and i feel a sense of achievement!!!

cheers to all annie

Sounds like a really busy weekend! I am glad that you had a good birthday!
Whats a stitch? And whats a gyro? Sorry, I dont mean to be stupid!
Anyways, hope you got time to rest sometime, I dont envy your battling traffic into the city, good luck! Have fun!

Re: fantastic extended long weekend

ok i will start off with the "stitch" its apain that you get usually just under your ribs its  a stabbing pain especially a spasmodic one in the muscles

a "gyro" is meat on the spit that rotates around either horizontally or vertically placed on a large skewer and rotated through  an electric controlled machinary. souvlakia are made from meat from a "gyro"

very tasty instead of bbq this way the meat is kept tender because its constantly being rotated. keeps juices in too

gyro comes from the greek word meaning "circle"

i ended up training it in it was much easier. but i left car home i didnt take it to train station so i called my son to pick me up from satation because it was raining here in melbourne and i didnt have an umbrella with me !!!

my stiff neck has eased off now after getting massaged from a friend then my son massaged (he has studied all this and currently doing a degree on human movement )

but it was so hard to sleep last night i usually sleep on the side and change sides constantly during the night.

it was painful trying to change sides that at the end i had to sleep on my back. i woke at 4am after restlessly and painfully trying to get sleep and i couldnt stand the pain any longer so i had to drink a couple of nurofen plus. that helped a little

anyway at lt least it has eased up and i can turn a little without pain

enjoy your evening

cheers annie
