Let's see what with have in this brain of mine for updating.
So yes, I've been feeling good about who I am and what I'm doing in life lately. I feel like I "fit" exactly where I should be at this time, I'm comfortable with myself as a person, as a female 27 year old, as a sales person in a computer shop. It's a ...well, for lack of better words, it's just a good feeling. However, I've been starting to struggle a little in the last week or two. Work has been getting busier with the end of financial year, stretching my multitasking abilities a bit when a big rush happens, and requiring me to stay back after we close to get things completed. My social commitments are quite full, with two bands having a weekly practise (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and Fridays in the foreseeable future being devoted to helping mum organise various things. Then add onto that various band performances, any shopping that needs to be done, and any friend interactions.... There's been a few times when I haven't interacted with Zig at all for 72 hours, apart from sleeping next to him in bed. I'm stretching myself a bit thin without enough blah time to myself or time with Zig to help rejuvenation. A few more weeks and end of financial year will be over at least, however work will still stay somewhat busy as many businesses who have already spent this tax year often wait for the new financial year before they start spending again. I still feel good though! The overall feeling is one of contentedness, it's just the body struggling to keep up, I'm very tired when I crawl into bed.
The "big band" I'm in, called "Rush Hour", played a gig at the Charles Hotel last Saturday. I had friends come along and they said it went well and sounded good. The music is fun to play! We had enough numbers that the Charles Hotel asked us to come back again for another Saturday night. This is your cue to enter Saturday July 11th into your calendars to be at the Charles Hotel for awesomeness! There will be a 60's theme, and people are encouraged to dress up, including the band members. We play the song "Soul Bossanova" which is irresistible, you gotta groove to it! I can arrange pre-paid tickets for $12 (and I get a small kick back if I sell 10 or more in total), or it's $15 on the door. I highly recommend booking a table for dinner, as that way you get delicious food (ooh, their mushroom risotto is good) and you can also get a table reserved in the band area so you don't have to fight for good seats later.
Zig had one or two friends coming around for homebrew beer last Saturday while I was gone for band, and he decided he'd put the spit on and invite an extra person or two. Somehow it exploded into 6-9 people all enjoying good food and beer, and kicking on until about 2am (I got home at 12:45am-ish). Not bad for an impromptu affair. Wonder if he'll do something for his birthday in July, since this worked so well?
