Relaxing weekend

Summer is slowly leaving New Zealand right now, and the rain is creeping back into our lives. I should be used to it by now, but it still came as a shock. I tried to go walking this morning before the rain started, but it still managed to fall from the sky. I had no choice but to bring my umbrella with me, which doesn't bother me very much since I have a morbid fear of dogs in the neighbourhood. I don't know why I am afraid of dogs and spiders. They seem to be completely harmless creatures. However, I had the unpleasant experience of getting chased by dogs when I was young. Spiders are the only insect that I am afraid of. I believe that some dogs are truly vicious and I should be afraid of them.
This neighbourhood mongrel is not really that bad, though. He/she has its own territory, and never venture out to get me. It only appears in the weekend, too. After five o'clock on weekdays, it is either fed or in the backyard so I never sees him/her! Maybe I am not afraid of it anymore, I look for it when I go walking.
I have taken up walking in Waikato Hospital again. They are building a new car park, which is at least five stories high with 800 new spaces. It is still in the steel structure stage.
I called my friend about getting workmate some beer for his 21st birthday. It seems to be his favourite at the moment, and I decided against buying a scarf for this person. It is not the gift he is looking for. The beer is also cheaper than I expected. I hope he will have a great time up North. Rock on, boy! Grow up quickly. My birthday is coming up as well, had been planning it, but also decided not to make it too formal. It's not going to be fun if it is so uptight! I will just invite some friends over to my place/town to drink and eat. If they want to come to have a good time, then we will have lots of fun. Too much planning is just not the way to go. After all, I am not Charlotte York and it is not my style.
This weekend is so relaxing. We have not been house hunting or going to open homes because we haven't got the contract sorted out by the lawyers yet. It will come back next week, and I have to endure the thought of not having a new house to move in for another week. Also, I don't know whether I will be able to concentrate on working if I don't see this birthday person next week. I may be able to concentrate more on the job, though. I sure will miss him.
It is ok. I think I can handle it. The experiment is just not doing what I want it to do right now, which is very frustrating. I will know the result on Monday. I am almost sure that the problem happened in the beginning of the experiment, which is why I am getting an empty result last Friday. I will march on! I will not be defeated by one set back.
I have managed to tidy up my closet and packed up two more boxes of books. My vanity table looks much tidier now, with the bottles of beauty products standing up right again instead of lying in a heap. I have also put skirts that I am going to wear this season into a Portman bag, and shorts into a Stax bag. They can be accessed more easily in front of my drawers. Great. I won't have mouldy skirts anymore! They had to be washed, and the patches just don't look very attractive. Mum warned me about technician wearing good clothes may be discriminate against because women who wear nice clothing may be airheads. My boss said that I shouldn't strive to impress him because he knows that I am good... I will believe my boss, but will also be more careful about what I wear. I know that one of my top has a very low cut, and it does show quite a lot of cleavage. However, why can't I look good and be smart at the same time? I will leave this question right now and worry about something important like my experiment, and perhaps, this nice man.
