10:17pm: For archery tomorrow. I wasn't going to, because the internet seemed to be of the opinion that top archers don't shut one eye when shooting, but firstly I ain't a top archer and secondly, the para-archers who are currently competing close one eye though. Not sure how to account for the difference... they are using compound bows so I guess that might make a difference, but whatever. I did have a bit of scare when I could locate said eyepatch after trying it out, turns out it had fallen into my shopping bag. I really do need to clean up my house, especially since Mum, Dad and (possibly) the little bro are coming over on Thursday to celebrate Mum's birthday. It's actually the day before, but she's already got plans. So yeah, gotta fix that.

I also have to make a card for Dad for Father's Day, which means I gotta wrap this entry up quickly because I won't have time to make it tomorrow and it's not like I can stay up until stupid o'clock, archery starts at 9am tomorrow.

Also my digestive system has been somewhat annoyed today, I've taken some Buscopan for it, but I'm thinking a good night's sleep will be helpful for it.

Also I think I may have sat down too much today catching up on figure skating because my knee is deciding to be a butt again. Very rude.

Before I head off though...

Friday Five

9/11/23

1. What is on your bucket list that you want to do in the next ten years? Visit my big bro and his family in Japan, although that's locked in for next year, I've already paid a deposit and stuff for a tour my mother and I will be doing over there. So I should probably have another bucket list item...um...visit the US and the BTTF filming sites.

2. What bucket list items have you completed and enjoyed? I haven't really thought about a bucket list prior to that first question there, so I'm not really sure, LOL. Maybe get decent at archery?

3. What bucket list items did you accomplish but they weren't as great as you hoped or expected? See above. I'm trying to think of something now, LOL... Ummm... I got nothing.

4. What short term goal(s) are you currently working on? Cleaning up my apartment and keeping it tidy.

5. What middle term goal(s) do you have, and are you working on them? Get better at archery - I'm currently doing Beginner Classes which I have three more to do. Not sure what'll happen after that, I might have to redo the course depending on how I go.

Right, it's getting towards 11pm, and like I said I've got to do that card, wish me luck!

11:11pm: Yes, today was the big combo-Mum's Birthday-Father's Day Celebration and it went off without a hitch! Although, I didn't actually end up doing what I was meant to! For example, because I had to get my hair done I wasn't able to pick up the birthday cake on Saturday afternoon - so Mum had to pick up her own cake, LOL! Then because my friend Ben called to invite me over to his place (he lives far away in Darwin and that was the only time I could see him before he headed back) I didn't have time to make my usual cards, so I had to do that today during the party. Lastly, I neglected to pick up two Venetta ice cream cakes from Woolies so had to ask my little bro to do it.

Actually, considering that he picked them up, made the fruit salad and got the Chinese food from the restaurant he was the real hero of the day! :O) Which is nice because often he doesn't get to involved in this sort of stuff. I guess have a steady job with normal hours has made it easier for him.

The only thing that didn't happen was the big bro making a Facetime call, because the air-conditioner has broken down over there and it's still summer and my little niece is probably still too young to properly regulate her body temperature, so he had to get onto that. Good thing he's in Japan where you can get handymen to come out on a Sunday! Hopefully he got it fixed.

Also, my cousin Mack kindly gave me a little Bonsai as a thank you because on Wednesday Mum and I helped him out with buying some pants which he needed for a performance he was in at his school and delivering them to him. It was actually on our way to Newtown, so he didn't have to, but I do have an empty spot where my old fish tank used to be, so there's somewhere to put it which is cool.

As for the fathers, well I'm sorry to say I totally forgot to get something for Dad! I didn't even get him a bag of salted peanuts like I usually would! And I forgot to bring over the Pineapple Cadbury Dairy milk chocolate that I got especially for Mum. Man, I meant to buy another block of it last night when Ben and I had to go to his local Woolies because he was missing an ingredient for the cake he was making.

Pft, talk about scatter-brained!

Anywho, it's past 11:30pm now, so I better hit the hay, I didn't get enough deep sleep last night - at least according to my app - and I think it might have been behind the headaches I had today - one in the morning and then in the afternoon. Dave McFly is totally right - the last thing you need is headaches.

But man, I so need to get back to the Memes...it'll have to wait though.

For now, goodnight!
