Relaxing at home watching episodes of Six Feet Under [I have them all on DVD].

Going to Hog's Breath [her favourite restaurant] for Skye's 5th birthday and hearing all about her first day of school. As well as the joy of spending time with her [Eden spent most of it asleep].

Lunch out of the office with work colleagues on Friday.

Going to Skye's Birthday Party Saturday and seeing her enjoy herself so much. Playing with Eden for almost an hour.

Going to my dad's work retirement dinner on Saturday. Didn't last through it all [a bit loud and in-your-face at times, and my anxiety was on alert], but glad I went.

Being at Matins at Church today [had to leave: anxiety again].

Coffee and then lunch at the wondrous La Renaissance Café Patisserie with two wonderful friends today. Simply catching up and enjoying some delicious food. For me: Chicken Chasseur pie and Mineral Water with mint for lunch; Dark Chocolate Macaron and an Iced Chocolate for dessert. Yum.

Hasn't happened yet, but [rain holding off] I am off to see Twelfth Night tonight by Sydney Shakespeare Festival: that should be good fun.

Perhaps not as bad a week as I had thought. The ending was certainly better than the beginning. There were downs, but those ups are pretty special.
