Week Ten

Week Ten.

The family is gone, the budget meal prepping is back and your girl was working through her backlog of frozen meat in order to save some money until payday (which came not a moment too soon!!!).

I did start my "new week, new me" with an attempt at Monday Maintenace which then turned into Monday-Wednesday maintenance because who can squeeze it all into one evening, let alone one day! Especially when nails are involved. 

Anyway, hair was services (detox, oil, mask), nails were done (from pink to an obnoxious orange), feet were tidied up and self tan drops were applied so that I'm no longer eligible for a zombie film without the makeup. I cannot wait to be tan again and I feel like summer only just finished!

Anyway so she GLOWED for the week. That was part one. 

Now I did have a casting director workshop, but alas the strikes put a stop to that so my hours of script prep were for nought. However, I did book to go to France with some friends this weekend, so at least I'll be putting the refund to good use since I'm working on the rescheduled date...

She was rainy last week and I low key loved it. The fluffy PJ pants came out as did the candles and snuggly vibes that I think are essential so you don't become a winter-hater. There was more maintenance (doggy makeup brushes turned clean) and then I found the Seed Grant applications opened in New Zealand and pledged to put forward at least one script (probably two) to challenge myself, but also because more and more I'm realising that writing does bring me a lot of joy. 

She did singing throughout the week but alas hayfever kept getting in the way of the high notes so I'm not sure I"ll be sharing any of those moments with you guys. 

Workouts were had (I believe 3-4) with Sydney doing the Summertime Fine. God she's brutal, but I'm definitely realising that there are a lot of muscles that I ignore when i'm left to my own devices at the gym because they're hard and I hate arms and lunges.... But now, no excuses! Many lunges and arm workouts are being had and I have to say I'm seeing a difference and feeling a lot more nimble and strong. Damn it - it's true what they say about regular exercise. Bastards. 

(Also worked two shifts this week hallelujah) $$$$

Then - ONTO THE 48 HR FILM FESTIVAL with Dracula's Castle!! A lot of fun and a hectic Saturday acting out a hilarious script. I won't spoil it but I'll 100% post a link here when there is one. 

I finished off the day sharing a bottle of Picpoul de Pinet and some dirty fries - what a combo! And my Sunday was a quiet day quasi watching the footy with E (what a fucking game) and preparing for the week to come by doing chores and getting my shit together. 

Stay tuned for Week Eleven!

Highlights of the week!
