My last few weeks have been a bit eventful and a bit weird, well kinda. Started with me getting new carpet in the lounge, just before Labour Wknd, and Pa was here so I didn't need to take the day off work, thanks Pa. Then we hung out on the Friday cos it was HB Anniversary, can't remember what we did but am sure we did something lol, pretty sure we went out for dinner nom nom. Then on the Sunday I headed off to Mangakino for a few days, just to chill. I had the week after Labour Wknd off plus a couple days of the following week, cos why not.
Mangakino was fun. Didn't really do much, but that's what I like about visiting there. Caught up with Bro in Taupo on my way through, then we both headed to olds. Went for a walk along the lake with Pa one of the days, then another went running in Tokoroa while Mum met up with a friend, who I then met. Then Mum and I went shopping.
Then I came home for a day before heading to Chch for a long wknd with Bridie. We may have both under packed for that lol, I put my beanie back and she put her gloves back before we left. Both agreed that was dumb when we got there as it was cccccooooollllllddddd. Felt a bit warmer after we went and bought beanies from a souvenir shop lol. Overall it was a good long wknd, we did lots of chatting (shocking I know lol), some exploring, lots of eating, watching stuff, some shopping, some reading, played on scooters and I went for a run while she watched the All Blacks game. Slight disruption on our last day when I got a msg that my flight had been cancelled and I was now flying home via Auckland the next day. Not at all what I had planned but I went with it like I had to. Air NZ put me up in the lovely Novotel at the airport and gave me a food allowance, which seemed nice and high till you realised how much the hotel restaurant charged and this is where you had to eat to get it charged to room and therefore for Air NZ to pay. Oh well, I made it work and spent $2 less than my allowance which is all I cared about, I didn't want to pay anything hehe.
Then after coming home and working for two days, I had a wknd which was lovely. Took myself out for brunch then to the beach to read on one of the days, the other I have no idea what I did lol. Then work again for 2 days, one of which I didn't feel so great, then was even more meh on Wednesday morning so took at a rat test and have been isolating with Covid since. Day 5 today and still feel kinda meh, wouldn't be well enough to work even if it was a work day, so tomorrow shall be off work again and go from there I think.
So yeah that's my kinda weird few weeks, started off really well but then took a bit of a nose dive. Am still doing Marathon in a Month but might not make (probably wont if I'm being honest) the full distance I challenged myself to do. I think I will make a marathon but not the half again on top of that. Still happy for donations if anyone is still thinking of donating.
And to finish off here are some pics from Christchurch :)
