Definitely an introvert

 Although I can get up in front of a crowd and waffle on if I need to, I'm not the type of person who likes going to parties and hanging out with people.

We had a function yesterday with a few friends, very low-key affair. But we had people over most of the day and late into the evening - and the whole time they were here I couldn't wait for them to leave. I don't want to go be a hermit and live in a cave or anything, and it's nice to hang out with people and be social and stuff now and then. But I find it exhausting to be entertaining guests. Especially when there's a number of them.

Having said that, we did play a good game of Monopoly. Much better to have 8 players rather than two (or one). It's been a long time since I played Monopoly, and the first time I recall actually finishing a game. The games my brother and I played when we were younger just melted down into the board being divided between the two of us and constant arguments.

Glad that they've gone now, hopefully have a quiet day or two to recover before going back to work.

Tracking

Went out and bought a measuring tape and this morning my waist came in at 95cm. Not sure what exercises to do this week, had been planning on doing more swimming but it's a bit of a hassle driving out to the pool.

But I definitely need a haircut. And a shave!

End of 2018

As the last day of the year passes by, I find myself in a hotel bed, lounging on my phone with my beautiful wife by my side (and the princess demanding attention). This last year has been a good year. Not too much time away from family, (most) bills taken care of and on holiday catching up with friends and family.

Next year is going to be a bit harder. I already know there will be (a lot) more time away with work, cars are coming up due for maintenance and there'll be who knows how many unexpected issues come up.

But overall, I'm putting 2018 in the "good" box. Roll on 2019!

Vacation

Whooo! Back in Perth for a bit, enjoying some time away from work and time with family. The goal was to try and be a bit more relaxed and have some down time, but so far we've still been doing a lot of running around.

No matter, onwards and upwards!

Week off

Woo, got a week off from work. Nothing like getting paid not to work! :)

Long weekend

Wooo!

Can't complain about having time off work.

More money would be nice...

Ah, money. My old nemesis....

Post Christmas relaxation

The bulk of the silly season is done, now cruising in the gap before New Years. Christmas was good, got some time earlier on in the month in Perth and had a good time with friends and family over the Christmas season.

Was a good Christmas this year, very happy. And good to have a bit of down time from work.

Holidays!

Last day before going back home for some holiday time with the family. Yay!

Going to be a bit odd to be in our home town but staying in a hotel. Still, get to have time to catch up with everyone. And have time away from work.

Win, win!

Hot

Bit of a long dragged out day today. Apparently there was some horesy thing on today down south - yawn, not my cup of tea.

Actually, that's more frustrating than anything because I'm trying to get paperwork done and that stalls when everyone is out of the office.

Oh well, can't do anything about it, so no point getting worked up about it. Just wait for tomorrow, then do what I can.
