Monday 13th December

Ok, here I am, my last diary entry was the 10th, so I guess I have some catching up to do. I haven't done very much over the past few days, I woke up early on Friday (10:30 am) because I wanted to get some work done before the Xmas party. It was up at the Botanical Gardens at 12:30 pm. Suffice to say that it was the first real day of summer. It was very hot, thank goodness that someone brought sun-screen and that I used it.
It wasn't a bad affair, the day was hot, but the company was alright. The food wasn't too bad, but if it wasn't for the alcohol, I would have felt a bit ripped off. Quite a number of people commented on the new hair, so I had to explain that it wasn't a feral creature attached to the back of my neck. I went home about 3:30 pm, to have a lie down after the heat of the day.
Most of the evening I spent chatting to Jules and Susan as they packed their room's up. Went to bed about 2:00 am, and it was still quite hot.
Saturday, and Red came over about 1:00 pm, and we chatted.
At about 9:00 pm, when it had cooled down we went into Civic, to have something to eat, but Red wasn't hungry. We went back to my room, and Red crashed the night on the floor. The night was hot and neither of us slept that well, and we both woke up early in the morning. I walked Red into the city and she caught the bus home.
For the rest of Sunday, I spent it crashed out on the bed trying to keep cool and mostly failing. Wrote out about 20 Xmas cards, but I don't expect to get any replies. I guess there is a minority of people who do good things in the world, and a minority of people who do bad things, and the rest of humanity just reacts to what happens to them on a personal basis.
Might go back to the lab tonight, but I don't know. I have an appointment to get the extensions shampooed and styled properly tomorrow. It should be nice, they've gone a little bit stringy in the past few days, probably because of sweat and the fact they got wet. I bought a pair of schrunchies today, I really like them. They're much easier to handle then a hair-band, and they add a nice touch of colour. I'm really starting to settle into the extensions now, if anyone asks, I just tell them whatever, and I'm not in the least self-conscious about it now. The extensions have relaxed, so that's good. Soon I might start wearing it out more, so I'll have to learn how to style it properly.
I was good to chat with Red. I revel in a few intimate close, relationships rather than a larger group of passing friends. Finding out what makes them tick is always a interest of mine. Maybe Red and I are like to semi-lost souls searching for some post to momentarily anchor ourselves in a crazy world, nothing that deep and meaningful, but she is kind of like a sister to me.
Anyway, that's really not anyone's business, so you should stop being so nosey. Anyway, I'm going to maybe have a shower now, see y'all later.
