Triumphs and Tragedies... From the Toilet...

It's 3am & I'm waiting for antihistamine to work. I was woken up about half an hour ago with an itchy roof of mouth, watering eyes & a runny nose so bad I got up to take Claratyne. So while I wait I figure I might as well post about yesterday.

Firstly, on Friday night I was invited very spontaneously to join a couple of my girlfriends at my favourite cocktail bar for an hour or so while one waited to go to a charity fundraiser. I drove, and for the first time I can remember I sipped on a soda water while the others drank Sangria and strawberry margaritas. I was so completely impressed with myself.

Then we had to go to a kid's party yesterday morning, my friend Amanda (who looks after my youngest during the day while I'm at work) & her husband Drew's twins turned 3. There were 3 AMAZING cakes there - a chocolate cake, iced with chocolate ganache, a layer vanilla cake iced with purple buttercream & a divine gluten free chocolate & almond fudge cake. And I are none. HIGH FIVE. And it wasn't even particularly difficult to decline.

The tragedy in this was that on Friday night for dinner I hate an ENORMOUS portion of fish & chips and then at the party I at ten tonne of (salty no sugar) junk food. But all & all I think the wins outweighed the losses in their significance.
