Tee gee eye eff

So I've finally made it through this very odd, slightly disastrous, very unmotivated and entirely out of whack week.

Congrats to me. Here's what I've learnt:

• My healthy eating and gym plan goes right out the window as soon as life becomes a little less ordinary and I have things to do like going to work dos and getting ready to welcome Boyfriend home. 
• I should stop getting attached to peripheral people in my life to avoid feelings of abandonment when figures such as my Pilates instructor or personal waxer move away.
• One should never go to an editorial lunch without planning an escape clause that forces one to leave at a decent hour. At least not when one has a whole list of things that one had planned to get done after said lunch.
  On Wednesday evening I somehow managed to wash my hair, clean and vacuum my place, bake and ice cupcakes, and paint my nails – after about nine bottles of Chocolate Block and Haute Cabriere between six people. It was difficult, to say the least. I alternated between Miss Energiser Bunny (the two trying-to-sober-up double espressos catching up with me) and Miss I Am Holding On To The Bedroom Carpet So That I Don't Fall On To The Ceiling Duh.
• I will never again drink and dial (or whatever the equivalent is for texting).
• Sometimes, I am a complete idiot.
• Five weeks is far too long to go without seeing somebody you love.
• Eating a real meal after three weeks of soup for dinner can cause stomach pain.
• My Mac weather widget can't be working properly because it is forecasting sun for today and it is not sunny outside.
• One does not catch up on one's reading by watching House every night before bed.
