Guilty Pleasures
Okay, I need to sort things out. Another precious week has just slipped away. In total, I have allowed 16 days to creep past me. And they will never come back. *sob*
I promised myself I will start. My motto: Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. But I haven't done anything more than yesterday. And I keep telling myself I'll do more tomorrow. The guilt of procrastination.
And I need to settle in. Everytime I login to Athens or desktop Anywhere, I'll be tearing my hairs out of my head. dtA will either hang, or take forever to load any application. The time spent searching for journals that are actually 'view-able' can take forever as well.
I've been treating and pampering myself a lot. Today, I stepped into Frankie & Benny's. And I was thrilled. That's like the place where I'm waiting so much to go to celebrate something, like after exams or birthday. The atmosphere is something like TGI Friday's but slightly better cos it's a fusion of Italian and New York cuisine.
Feel guilty now for having dinner there. Ordered a glass of white wine and red wine for Snowie, and I had my favourite Spaghetti Carbonara. Angel ordered a delicious pasta bake and we were so delighted!! But the problem is, there wasn't anything to be celebrating about. Treat it as a stress-reliever, just to comfort myself.
Had that terrible tummy ache again on the way home, I guess it's gastric. But I made it through the pain, mentally. Maybe it's because of the warmth of that snow-coloured scarf as I was walking in the rain.
