| Day in the Life of Ata |
So, what has Ata been doing, I hear you ask? Well, given that there has been no new post for a short time, I thought I might tell you. Today, I:
1. Dropped Mr Ata off at the Airport
2. Watched TV whilst eating M&M's
3. Got a phone call from FAtC, asking if I wanted to go to the gym with her
4. Scoffed down some porridge, thinking that exercise should be done on more than chocolate
5. Rounded up motivational pants and picked up FAtC
6. Did Balance class
7. Realised exactly how much muscle strength has been lost in the last 2.5 years
8. Realised that wrists are more dodgey than previously believed
9. Ran into two long-unseen used-to-be-friends
10. Went home, dropping FAtC off on the way
11. Found little brother's degree in shed (proved easier than feared)
12. Decided that variable humidity conditions in shed are no good for degrees
13. Decided to bring little brother's speakers and certain other humidity-sensitive items inside
14. Decided his clothes didn't count as humidity, dust, or other shed condition sensitive
15. Stacked items to bring inside on a small table outside
16. Decided to mark out area intended for paving with a hoe
17. Decided to use shovel
18. Decided to use pickaxe
19. Decided to buy a tin of spray paint later for marking out area
20. Attempted to locate drain-pipe underground
21. Dug weeds out of planter box to begin preparation for planter box removal
22. Began digging soil out of planter box
23. Stood in backyard considering Drainage Issues and Lawn Slopage
24. Decided not to empty soil out of planter box in case we decided not to remove it, due to Drainage Issues
25. Took stack of items inside
26. Stacked items on spare bed
27. Rounded up Roswell from outside (it's hard to move things indoors without letting the cat escape)
28. Watched some more TV with more M&M's
29. Wondered where Bosco was
30. Found Bosco locked in bedroom
31. Watched more TV and considered cleaning up
32. Decided cleaning up could wait at least until Monday
33. Emailed little brother to tell him about having located his degree
34. Switched on kettle
35. Blogged.
Are you thrilled? Tonight I am going to see Jingo with the Friends-Around-the-Corner. I will wear the very large, very warm black coat I bought yesterday, that Mr Ata says makes me look like a stripper who has just turned up to a bucks party*. I figure that wearing jeans and boring black school shoes should negate the potential stripper effect.
*Mr Ata once saw a stripper at a bucks party. The buck in question was missing at the time of her arrival, and was later found asleep in a puddle in the empty block next door. Given that he seems to think she was a very unimpressive stripper, I'm not really sure how I feel about the comparison. |

I had been feeling a little surprised that you would be calling your friend Fat C ... but the end of your post cleared up that issue.
Friend around the corner! Of course!!!
Can i suggest an occasional refresher course of your standard abbreviations for the memory-impaired?
-
You have motivational pants? How do they work, and where can I find a pair?
-
I'll take two, and a motivational headband, if you have one.
-
Hooray! I can post comments again!
Ata's motivational pants came from Jay Jays. They are motivational pants because, when wearing them and standing in front of a mirror (as in a gym room), one finds oneself motivated to work just that little bit harder....
... or, dependant on one's mood at the time, to go home and eat chocolate in despair.
