How are you today?

I am tired. Worked till 10.30pm last night and didn't make it to bed before 1am x( You can imagine how tired I am today.
I just decided to take Monday off, so I have Sunday and Monday to recover. Already talked to my boss, he is OK with it.


Picture of the Day

[AsahinaKimi]

1. Ohayou Gozaimasu Honeychurch san!

Good morning!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning AsahinaKimi san

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

How are you doing? How was your dinner on your b.day? Did you enjoy it?

[AsahinaKimi]

3. Oh yes!

I went to this place called Sushi Rock in Chinatown. I had a nice plate of Sashimi, with Miso soup. Later I recived a gift of a 13k gold ring with a round oval shaped dark green Jade. Its lovely! Thank you so much for asking!!

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Ohhh

that sounds wonderful. Glad you had such a nice day.

How is the apartment hunting going?

[AsahinaKimi]

5. I found a place but...

I have just submitted my application. I am awaiting any sign of approval. If not, I will continue looking.. its hard to find a place here, I may have to move to LA!

[MissHoneychurch]

6. I cross my fingers

that you get the place :thumbsup:

It is interesting how different the house market is in the U.S. and in Germany. Here most people rent, so it is no problem to find an apartment. Finding a condo or a house to buy .... expensive as hell, esp. in the bigger cities.

[Haole Girl]

7. Good morning

It's only 4:47 am here. Woke up & can't get back to sleep. ugh

Love that pic! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Good morning Haole Girl

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Ugh ... that is really annoying. I hope you don't have a too stressful day ahead of you :hug:

[Haole Girl]

10. Thankfully, I don't have to work today

I do want to go for a ride later, though, & don't want to be tired.

:hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. That helps

and that gives you the chance to take a nap before going on the ride :)

Anywhere special or just a scenic drive?

[Haole Girl]

37. Not sure where yet...

sometimes those are the best kind of rides. :hi:

[Callalily]

8. Good morning MissH!

Sorry to hear that you are tired, but that is understandable with working so many hours in one day! Yikes! It's good that you are taking Monday off.

I am soooooo glad that it's Friday. It's been a busy week, but nothing too stressful, but I just want a few days off. :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I will take one week vacation in 3 weeks. But till then I need at least two days off to recover. I am getting to the point where everything is getting too much. I know I will sleep mainly.

Any plans for the weekend?

[Callalily]

21. Sleeping and recovering is

good. If you exhaust yourself too much, you may just get sick and we don't want that to happen. ;)

No big plans for the weekend. Yoga class Saturday morning, and then errands and the usual domestic chores. May take in a movie if there's something interesting showing.

You have a good rest of the day and a great weekend. Don't stay out just too late Saturday night! :rofl:

:hug:

[cwydro]

11. Good morning Miss Honeychurch.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Hmmm, methinks someone stayed up awhile after getting off work...:spank:

Glad to hear you are taking Monday off, but don't think that means you can neglect your good morning thread!

What an interesting picture.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Uhhhh .... I needed the time to calm down to be able to sleep ... yeah that's it ... :)

I have to admit I will be neglecting my Good Morning thread on Monday. For some reason I don't get on DU at home. I hope that changes in a week.

Happy you like the pic :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

[blueraven95]

34. let's see

my sister has a concert tonight, so I'm going to that, then after that I'm going to a friend's birthday party. Nothing else planned for the weekend. Just some reading and laundry.

What about you?

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Sounds like a wonderful weekend

Well, I am working tomorrow but in the evening I plan on going dancing with two friends. Sunday and Monday is sleeping, relaxing and doing some household chores

[blueraven95]

38. sounds good to me

things have been hectic here, so some quiet will be nice. I just have to get through today. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Oh I know what you mean

it is 3.30pm here. I am trying to decide if I stay till 5pm or if I leave at 4pm.

[blueraven95]

41. I say...

leave early!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Maybe

maybe not. I don't want to get too much minus minutes. So maybe I leave at 4.30pm, in between both ideas :)

[blueraven95]

43. that sounds good too!

:D

I'm such a bad influence :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. And I love it

:rofl:

As you can see, it is 4.15pm and I am still here. :eyes:

[blueraven95]

Have a good weekend if I don't talk to you again before you leave!

[bigwillq]

22. Morning!

Get some rest, girl. You are working too hard! Have a good day! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Good morning bigwillq

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I will get the rest, I promise.

I need to work those two jobs, I need the money. I knew it was going to be tough when I bought the condo.

How are you doing?

[bigwillq]

24. I am ok.

Ended up having to go to a 3 hour meeting yesterday night---on my day OFF. :( Meeting got out so late that I missed my first deadline. Got to love writing for a newspaper. There's always breaking news. I am like a doctor. On call 24/7. :(

About to go do my morning workout..Have a good one! :hi:

[Brewman_Jax]

25. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

That was a long day. Looks like you could use a break. :boring:

I guess that you aren't going to go swimming today.

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Yeah, it was really long. And I took a taxi home instead of taking the train. I couldn't stand waiting ages for the next train and then another 20 minutes till I am at my station. Normally I take the train but I was too tired last night.

So what happened at the soccer game? They kicked you out already???? :mad:

Swim class is only Tuesdays.

[Brewman_Jax]

31. Regime change

the past captain didn't want the responsibility anymore; can't say I blame him, that's a lot of work for no pay. Organizing, calling people, hoping to get enough money to pay the team fee and having to cover the remainder, etc. One of the other long-time players took over, got his friends on the team, and--bam!--it's a new team. I saw the past captain and he apologized profusely for the mixup. Seems he hadn't given the new captain the e-mail list. There were quite a few not invited to join the new team--including the former captain. I'll just have to find a new team next week. Hopefully the weather will be better.

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Oh man that sucks

I am sorry to hear that. I hope too you find another team :thumbsup:

[Brewman_Jax]

40. Thanks

and don't forget to get a walk in. Hopefully you'll have good weather, too.

[Captain Hilts]
