Long Over Due

So yeah, it's been a while since I last posted. I could lie and say that something happened that stopped me from updating, but I wont. The truth is, I couldn't be bothered. I think I have a lot to write, so I'll try and start from where I last left off.

I finished my book - and it was awesome.!
I finished the brownies for my friend and even made her a chocolate cake. She told me that she enjoyed them all very much, all to herself.

My mood has dropped in the last few weeks. I really thought things were looking up, and in many ways, they still are, it's just my mood that's turned sour. I have no idea what caused it, it's most probably because of my energy levels dropping, because suddenly I'm tired all the time again. And there I was thinking that I was getting better.! I do have a theory that my mood and energy levels have something to do with the good weather we briefly had; but maybe it's something else all together, I'll have to speak to my GP about it.

Two weeks ago, my dad went to London to visit with his family, I didn't really notice him being gone, because I'm usually asleep when he comes home from work and only see him for a few hours in the morning, so it was just like a normal week. When he got home, we went on a "family trip" to the seaside. My dad won't set foot on a beach, so I took him to the arcades instead, and I have to admit, I enjoyed myself. We played on the 2p slot machines, a first person shooter, guitar hero, and plenty of pinball machines - One of which made a gun shot noise when the ball shot out of a hole, which made me scream and my dad laugh. He can be horrible sometimes.! Ever since then, we've been getting on better.

I've also started to drink. Not a lot, only enough to get me buzzed (Which really isn't much), just so that the tiredness doesn't make me really sleepy. I'm not going to get too attached though, because two days after my first drink, the buzz wore off and I got a really bad headache - either it's a coincidence, or it was a hangover.

I've seen my Youth Worker a few times in last three weeks and she thinks she's going to be made redundant, which I'm really pissed off about, because she's the only person that's been with me in the past couple of years that's been helpful and hasn't given up, and I really have needed that after the meany people I worked with gave up when they ran out of "textbook" ideas. I'm seeing her again tomorrow -this time I'm meeting her in town, for the first time, as she usually picks me up or just comes round for a chat - so I'll see if she's heard any news about her job status.

My mum's been making some ice-cream from scratch for the last two weeks - it's fantastic by the way - she first made vanilla, which tasted better than the store bought kind, then strawberry - with real strawberries. Then today, she presented me with chocolate chip and mixed nut ice-cream, the best one yet. She's also now openly admitting that she watches "Come Dine With Me" and enjoys it.!

Also now I've started watching "LA Ink" season 3 because it's on catch up OnDemand.

Anyway, I think that's it for now. Ciao.

A new book and meringue

So this morning I got a new book in the mail, Yay.! The Darkest Lie is the 6th installment in the series Lords Of The Underworld by Gena Showalter. It's about an immortal warrior called Gideon, who can only speak lies, that finds his long lost wife, Scarlet, who terrorizes people in their sleep with nightmares. There's a lot more going on in the story, but to explain that, I'd have to summarize the last 4 books also, and I can't be bothered to do that, needless to say, I am very much enjoying yet another book from this wonderful author. As of now, I haven't finished the book, as I've done other things today that's kept me distracted, but hopefully I'll have it finished by midnight. :D

Today I also made some meringue for the first time - which turned out very well, if I do say so myself. It looks good and tastes even better; I should know, I had a little nibble. ;) So tomorrow after I've made some brownies for my Faerie Princess, (last time I baked her some, I forgot to give them to her) I'll add some cream and fruit to my meringue and enjoy some quality home made food. xD
