Success!

27 November 2006 by kristarella

So far today has been pretty successful. I started the day feeling a bit sick and to be honest I still don’t feel great. I felt sick on Thursday and Friday as well. I thought it was maybe a post viral, gaining my strength, kind of sluggishness with a little dizzy added in but since it’s lasted nearly as long as the virus I’m not so sure.

I went shopping with my friend. I got two t-shirts, nice ones with patterns and good quality material that doesn’t hug my fat 😛 I also got some cotton boxers, an Edith Piaf CD (very cheap), engagement present for Liss and Silvo (friend’s from school), birthday present for Sal (another friend from school), and I spied out what I think I’ll get hubby for Christmas. Amy bought stuff too and we had lunch so it was a pretty sweet trip. There’s a new art and craft shop on the bottom level of Hornsby Westfield. It’s really good, it has a bit of everything; scrapbooking, folk art, canvases and paints and paint brushes, embroidery thread, beads and beading stuff, ribbon, felt, cards, paper, mat board and foam core, and other bits and bobs. It’s totally good and well priced too!

Also managed some supermarket shopping, dish washing, spoke to Mum on the phone and a cup of tea. Yeah, I’d say it was fairly successful.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
