Bring on the Weekend

Happy Friday!!! Uh oh.... I discovered the colour option. Watch out world. This blog is going to make Joseph's technecolour dream coat look like child's play. Guys, I just couldn't help myself.

We made it through yet another week and now we can kick our heels up and let our hair down and relax. Actually, I can't as yet because I have a performance tomorrow, but that's not going to stop me from having an enjoyable Friday evening and Saturday morning/afternoon. Right now I'm listening to some Vampire Weekend, and just took a break from the task at hand: making home made meatballs. I had rehearsal this morning and am feeling very rejuvenated and energetic. My ride to work this morning was a little frigid: winter has arrived in Magdeburg. There was frost on the ground, and the picture freak inside of me wanted so badly to grab a snap, but I was on my bike so I just kept trudging along. My poor little hands were cold because I forgot my gloves. Note to self: put gloves in bag to avoid unpleasant hand conditions in the future. Anyway, I'm totally digressing and should change the topic now because if not we could end up discussing such things as hobbits, roller coasters or from some reason at this exact moment I am thinking of Dairy Queen......weird.

La, la, la. it's funny how a good night's sleep can mend so many things. Yesterday I was utterly exhausted. I had been singing for 5 hours and managed to arrive home in one piece and then collapse on the sofa. I went to bed early, and slept right until my alarm. When I opened my eyes, I felt completed rested and ready to go. We really do need to listen to our bodies and take rest when it is required. this is something I often forget because I want to do EVERYTHING at all times and not miss out on ANYTHING. The Farah curse I call it. I need to remember that sometimes no is necessary and resting is essential.

So what's on the agenda now? This little squirrel needs to go back to making meatballs and then do some cleaning. I have a rehearsal tonight and then Katya and I have invited a few friends over for drinks. Well it's more like Katya has invited friends over from her hochschule, and I'll just be around drinking and most likely acting like the mother.... wait. Who am I kidding? I can drink these kids under the table..... go rockstar, go rockstar!  But in all seriousness - because we can all tell I'm extremely serious today - I'm planning on having a very ohne stress and chill weekend. Lots of eating, resting, modern family catch up-ing, and perhaps a drink or so.

Wishing you all a very happy start to the weekend, and hoping that you find some enjoyment in whatever it is you choose - or not choose - to do.
