Bit embarrassed

I haven't actually really done anything today, and if it wasn't for this blog then I would be fine but that thing is I do have to report and it makes me feel just awful. I am a terrible PhDer, an awful example of a good worker and I am going to sort this out.

I have done some work. But not really. And nor am I going to go for a run because I am slovenly. I do want to drink wine though. Arf. I know what is happening - it's because I only got home last night so am busy unpacking and cleaning clothes and sorting out my life. Oh, I have sorted out my visa situ at last which took allll morning and then some. I am going to get our passports back and go in and do it at Birmingham in person in 6 weeks or so, therefore giving us maximum time in TN. I really thought I had to go, drop it off and then go back sometime to pick it up which would be nonsense as I live zonks away from Birmingham. There may even be a 'clinic' in my local town that I could go to apparently. (I found a super helpful consumer website which I wish I had found last month!)

Whenever DB and I go away and come back we always have a drink and chat and ruminate over the events. I love doing this, its always fun. I have, scarily, found the most perfect place to get married too and am soooo excited and want to tell him about it. Though there is no chance this is going to happen in the next couple of years, I have found the venue. This is the scary super-organised, impatient creature he would be marrying. Hmmm... I think I will be turning up on my todd... Ah but it is LUSH. One day I shall divulge! (Am a bit scared even of myself to talk about it too much atm. Anyway, I have to tell DB first of course! It's only polite.)

I did the most amazing super-healthy shop earlier. Being away I have been eating pasties, fry-ups, packet sandwiches, crisps, pub dinners... I thought I was going to explode but strangely weigh just the same... Cooooool. I do have a craving for green food, chickpeas and fruit though, hence the healthy shopping. Unfortunately I didn't get any wine. Bums.

Texted my friend I am worried about earlier. Have heard nowt back. Oh well. I have put my fears on the backburner for now - am sure she is being harrassed enough anyway. Hmph.

Have lovely weekends all! I expect my conscience to kick in tomorrow so will make a plan (my final, final plan) and stick to it - I will probably report in tomorrow, hopefully to brag about how much work I have done. If I don't work tomorrow though it won't be the end of the world as I am definitely working on Sunday, all day, like it is a normal day. My Sup will be on my case soon otherwise and I have never, ever had him have to chase me up for work - in fact, I am the total keener who hands in work early. I don't want my image to be tarnished now, no sir. He is like a mentor to me and has followed me from wee we'll-take-a-punt-on-you-MA tadpole to funded-PhDer and I just couldn't let him down at all. He has seen something in me that I don't see at all and nurtured me along and I am soooooooo grateful. Yes, I still heart my Sup.
