Oh, hey there Livejournal! What up?

Guys, I've been kind of busy! What's with that? Easter weekend was amazing. My cousin brother and his family came on Saturday, and my cousin sister who spent the last six months in India came on Sunday. Admittedly I did spend 5 hours of Sunday behind the till at The Store, but that wasn't so bad in the long run. My cousin brother's kids are adorable, and it was so good to see my cousins and their families. Seriously great shenanigans were had.

After the four-day weekend I had to go back to work. Transport has not been on my side this week, not even a little bit. Goddamn do I ever hate local public transport these days. Work itself was fairly busy - despite lots of people taking time off - which was a good thing, and I spent Thursday in Hunts which meant I did a full day of work and still managed to get home at a human hour. (Not so much the case this upcoming week.)

My friend's had their baby this past week - Denz is now an aunt (lols, foiba!) - and then, on Friday, my cousin sister P came up to visit. I had training on Friday (yawn) and then ditched early so that I could meet her train in Ely.

GUYS. MY WEEKEND. SO GREAT.

We hung out on Friday night, and watched Fight Club on tv. Saturday I ran errands for The Dad and then P and I went to the city centre to go shopping. I came back with some real socks and a couple of tops, huzz. In the evening we met up with The Sister and went for a meal. My phone, as it turns out, is super useful because it allowed me to find and call the restaurant to book our table and then showed us how to get there. Anyway, good food, great company - came home to watch Mock the Week until midnight.

Today P and I went to see Baby Cousin and then we went to the station to see her off to Newcastle at 1820. I'm pathetic; I miss having her around already! Am hoping that I can see her during the May Day Bank Holiday.

Happy birthday, curly_the_sue! Hope you had a great day!

This upcoming week is my first full week of work since before Easter, heh. On Tuesday, Ex-Boss Lady is giving me a lift into Cambridge so that means I don't have to work 9 hours tomorrow - I can do that on Tuesday instead, and just leave at a sensible time. This is A Good Thing. I don't expect to be able to catch the direct train tomorrow (the bus is ALWAYS late on a Monday) but I'm good with that. Have been reading instalments of Shadow Unit across the week, so there's no reason why I can't carry on with that this week.

In other news: I continue to be the most boring person y'all know. I want to get back to making the odd voice post every now and then so you may get that on the train tomorrow morning, depending on how busy it is.

Ha, speaking of - my mobile number finally transferred to my new phone on Thursday so I was swapping numbers with powerof3 which was going, well, kind of slowly! So I decided I'd prank her, except she didn't get that message in time so I had a split moment of panic before having a tres pleasant conversation with her. Oh gosh, guys, this is creepy, but: I want powerof3's voice. So pretty! I think I surprised her which is lolarious because her answering the phone actually threw me. I mean, come on, who actually answers their phone?! I know, right? LUDICROUS.

This evening hopefully equals a fic beta and then some fandom, the latter of which I'm so freaking behind in. I'm so boring. Quick: someone check my pulse.

So glad you had such a wonderful weekend(s). OMG A VOICE POST - I know you guys are all Brits but in my head you all sound like Aussies. Hearing your voice would break my brain.
