Home From Home

I've been back all week but only writing now. I've not hada great week mentally and it's too tiring to go into details to even begin to explain what it's all about. It's a mixture of general tiredness plus having an awkward chat with my manager at work and then having an audition on Tuesday that I got really excited about, then disappointment as I probably won't get the part (in one of six small plays that will make up one whole show). Yes, I should be more positive and I know I did a good audition but the director has seen a few good people for this part and some of them, like me, he is friends with. I'm preparing myself for the worst anyway. In a nutshell tiredness + money woes + job woes + wanting something = crazy, tired, down in the dumps brain. However, I'm feeling a little better now.

This time last week I was back home and bonding with my newborn niece. I got to nurse her and feed her and helped my sister wash her. It's odd to think that my sister has a baby and I think it still hasn't sunk in for her too. I still have no desire to have children yet. Even though I couldn't stop staring at my niece and and fussing over her I'm still quite content to only have myself to look after. I took lots of pics but my suster has requested that I don't post any on the internet (on Bebo, Facebook etc.) and even though she doens't know about this blog I'll not chance it. So if you're a friend and a reeeeally interested then you can email me.

Today Is My Friday

I'm taking tomorrow off and will fly home to see my neice, sleep lots and gorge on curry chips. I'm looking forward to it at as it means the weekend begins tonight! As I have not moeny a tthe moment (not my fault, manager didn't sign off my timesheets) I'm also looking forward to not spending any money while I visit home. I have my mum to drive me to where I wanna go and she has a well-stocked fridge of food that I will guzzle.

Kicking off my long weekend by going to a play reading tonight at my theatre company, then home to play on my new computer. So glad it's arrived. I can start to feel normal again!

It's A Girl!

My niece, Eva, was born at 12:12pm today and appears to be taking after me already. Not only does her mum think she looks like me but she also tried to "come out" face face like when when I was being born. A promising start so far! ;-)

I've received a little camera phone pic of her (in which I think she looks like my sister, her mother) and have instructed my family to get some good digicam pics for me until I can get over to visit. Can't wait to go shopping for cute baby gilr clothes!

Baby Update

Right now my sister is in hospital in labour and due to give birth soon. Eeeeek! I'm going to be an aunt!
