I hadn't been sleeping very well and felt I wasn't being very productive with my thesis so yesterday, I gave myself the day off. Just the thought of having a day off made me sleep very well.
I got up at about 9.00am and had breakfast at a cafe with my boyfriend. I dropped him home, had a shower and then went to the markets. They have some great arty-type stalls there but I wasn't feeling too rich so I got some pork dumplings for lunch and some dark chocolate coated almonds for later.
I then drove to my favourite store, a store that has african style furniture and knick-knacks. I bought a cute wooden camel that is approximately 40cm tall.
I then drove to the otherside of Canberra to a group of shops that has alot of trinket/gift type shops, a miniature village, a dinasour museum, a few pubs and a few clothes shops. I shopped there for a couple of hours and bought myself a beautiful 6 strand beaded bracelet and one of those really fantastic all-in-one teapot/cup things.
I then drove to the mall near our house and got myself a half hour facial which finished just in time for me to catch In her Shoes at the movies.
I then got some Chinese takeaway and drove it to my boyfriend's office so we could have dinner together. For dessert, we went via the frozen custard shop on our way home and shared a fudge brownie delight.
The decision to give myself the day off, 5 days before my thesis was the best idea I have had in a long time. I feel so happy and rejuvinated. It's now 4 days until it has to be at the publishers and I'm feeling okay about it all.
