Cohen's Lifestyle Mee Two Too

Thanks heaps for all the good wishes!
It actually ended up being really rushed - never mind. He had booked into a film at a sort of art-house theatre - doesn't show the usual run of mill films. Anyway, he'd booked dinner at a restaurant right next door so we should have had plenty of time. However, we were caught in a horrible traffic jam and ended up really, really late to the restaurant. We explained to the waiter, and he arranged for our dinner to get cooked very, very fast. They were fantastic! I had very little time to scan the menu. The meal wasn't too bad, not 100% unfortunately. But I was impressed how good they were to us!
Anyway, we saw "Adam" about an autistic man - was quite interesting and a bit close to home at times, but good.
We hung around Northbridge for coffee before going home, but really nice to get a mid-week night out. I wasn't expecting anything as we'd already gone away for weekend somewhere a bit indulgent and I thought that was it!
I still can't get over the 14 verse poem - wow, eloquence - from a chemist!
I had a disrupted morning this morning. I thought I was supposed to pick up daughter and SIL and grandkids from the airport and hung around for ages waiting for non-existent plane. Eventually they texted and said it is TONIGHT! I hadn't eaten my yoghurt as I thought I was late for airport and thought I'd have it later. Not a good start to day! I just didn't read the original text message properly - guess I am excited they are coming home and I get to see them all again. Was going to spend some of today at home cleaning and organising, but decided to go back to work instead and get my head back in shape! A bit of boring finance work always does that.
Well on with today and back into the diet properly from the NEXT meal!

Hey Niyah
Before London I lived in Perth too! I used to love going to Leederville for coffee and lived right close to the city in Mt Hawthorn. Did you go to Cinema Paradiso? I used to go there in Northbridge all the time with my husband, it's so nice to see arty films sometimes and they always seem to have more meaningful storylines.
Glad you have had a wonderful anniversary and enjoyed your food out! Hope you have a great weekend!

Yes - no other time to start cleaning unfortunately. I woke up so decided I might as well get up. I was too tired to do much last night. Bratty children in play practice wear me out!
Anyway, I have guests arriving this afternoon for wedding tomorrow, and this place is a true disaster. I just haven't had time to do ANYTHING and have been away, so I'm just not going in to work today. Gulp! I've just been to shops to restock fridge etc, and better get back to the toilet cleaning and other delightful duties still waiting for me. They come late afternoon so I'll be flat out till then!
Have a good week everyone. I won't probably be back till after wedding, just too much going on here.

Hi Niyah, How was the wedding? Are you exhausted or did it end up being nice & relaxing? I think it's a small miracle if I enjoy a wedding- anyone's wedding! Usually there are so many people thrown together with very little in common! We are usually put on the "odds & sods" table, even by our family, as they say we get on with everyone. Hope it wasn't too stressful, xoxo Cate
We had a fantastic day! After some awful rainy days last week, we woke up on Saturday to a clear blue sky, and it stayed fine all day! It was freezing in the morning, but by 11.00am when the ceremony started, had warmed up. They had picked a lovely spot by the river, with a beautiful lawned area looking out over the river on 3 sides and boats floating by. Lovely. I was anticipating showers and cold wind, but it was gorgeous, not a breath of wind all day and just sunny blue sky. Unbelievable!
We then moved to a surf club by the beach for the reception, with big windows overlooking the ocean. Because it was fine and not windy, we could open the side doors out to the verandah area. We had a lovely table with our parents and some close friends who flew in from over east with us. There were lots of people I didn't know, but plenty I did, and it all worked well.
The only thing I didn't really like was my hair - hairdresser made it too "curly" telling me it would drop, which it didn't despite me trying to brush it back to a bit more normality. Not really "me". Never mind, the dress fitted well and I felt like a million dollars (though too old to LOOK a million dollars nowadays!).
I've been flat out with visitors staying with us - close friends from over east - and we had a big get together lunch with a whole lot yesterday. That lot have now gone, but today I am picking up another friend to take out, and then she is staying tonight with me.
It has been really nice catching up with so many people again - you don't realise how much you miss and appreciate people until you've been without them for a while, and then when you catch up again it suddenly hits you.
The only bad note for the weekend is that I did not stick to diet. I'm not going to think about that until tomorrow when my last visitor goes, and then get back on track. This is my last and most major hiccup for some time - life SHOULD be a little more simple for some time to come now.
I will catch up with everyone's diairies at some point tomorrow - until then, I've had a read and great to see everyone going so well.

Hi Niyah
It sounds like a good day was had by all.
Don't stress too much about not doing your plan. Like you said once everything has settled you will get back there. I started back today and I plan to stick to it 100%. I will be having visitors here in about 4 weeks so I know i won't be able to be as vigiliant but I know what to do now to keep the weight off.
All the best now - Sam

I'm going to keep my mouth largely shut at the moment. I feel seriously awful - mood, annoyance at myself, tiredness, health - my head is thumping with pressure at the moment - not sure if hay fever or yet another lot of sniffles. I'm also entering the dreaded "last week of month" before EOM and thus appetite worms rearing their ugly heads.
I am horrendously busy, have production a lot of tomorrow, so seriously folks think I am going to keep my miserable self to me at the moment.

Cate & Niyah both turn around, get a big kick up the bum....and then move on, ever determined to knuckle down!! I hope it's just(ha ha-just!) hayfever & not a rotten cold Niyah. I so do not miss TOM. Mine were hell! Just eating off program is enough to make you feel like crap so after a few days back on plan you'll be feeling ok hopefully. You're a strong woman so you'll be able to re-focus I'm sure. Hope you are feeling a little better today but even if you're not we like miserable Niyah too! xo Cate
Coughed half the night - just dry and irritating. I had a headache most of yesterday, not bad, but by evening felt quite nauseous after not being able to get rid of it. Think I have a touch of something but not sure what. Anyway, feeling less crabby today so will see what happens!

cough cough
hi niyah,
hope you feel better soon
and i totally hear you on appreciating people
after you've had an absence. i feel like i'm in
absence mode at the moment because i'm turning
into a seeming recluse due to cohen's. i'm sorry but i
just can't be too social with this diet. it would be wildly
difficult.
but i know this isn't forever and i also know there's some
lessons of appreciating others more that are coming from
this experience.
take care of the cold. cough it out, niyah!
