100 Days of Awesome: Day Eleven - No Internet and Chocolate Cake makes Ness Something Something

PThe day started well, with an awesome sleep that actually lasted eight hours. I needed it. And I need a little bit more, but I have to be up by 5:30am tomorrow. Ugh. 

When I got to work I discovered that the email and the internet were down, which, in a strange turn of events, meant I actually got some stuff done that I'd been putting off. It cut out all distractions, as well as access to the second server, the contents of which normally monopolises my already-limited time. So I was super-productive. And it also meant I finally had time to clean my desk, which was also awesome. 

I had a pretty good sandwich for lunch, too. Odd combination - chicken, mayo, avocado, spinach, cheese and pesto. But the bread was what really took it over the top - super fresh, but toasted so the outside was all nice and crispy and awesome. 

The last awesome thing about my day was the cake decorating course I did. Tonight's offering was a hearts gateau, and I have to say, damn I'm good. I'm also incredibly humble, if anyone asks ;)

So, dear reader, what was awesome about your day?

100 Days of Awesome: Day Ten - Pretty Awesome for a Monday

...not that it was an especially awesome day. If it had been a Friday it would've been distinctly un-awesome. But it's Monday so I'll take what I can get!

The first thing I did at work was go out for a hot chocolate. With marshmallows. Which I didn't pay for. I assume nobody is planning on denying the awesomeness of that situation. 

Then I got some real-life work done, which was awesome. As was the fact that said work was outside. 

Then a couple of friends emailed and texted, which is always awesome to have happen. Especially on Mondays. 

I went to yoga this evening, and you probably know by now how much I enjoy turning myself into a pretzel. Damn, it felt good. And this was an especially awesome session because I actually started to feel myself get stronger and automatically correct my form, and felt just a shade less like a hippopotamus with three legs balancing on its head in the height of summer than I did last week. Squee!

Last but not least, I had an awesomely balanced dinner of mud cake, corn on the cob, and custard with drinking chocolate in it. It was spread over the course of about two and a half hours, either side of yoga. I just couldn't be stuffed cooking tonight. Mostly because I forgot to defrost any meat. But there were (ok, was) vegetables (ok, vegetable). And custard for dinner? Yes, please!

What made your Monday awesome?

100 Days of Awesome: Day Nine - Cousins, Ikea, Mexican and Music

This post is going in just under the wire, mere minutes before midnight. And what a day!

This morning I headed to my cousin's place to help assemble some Ikea furniture. That was awesome for two reasons - 1. He's just relocated his family to Melbourne, so I get to see more of them; and 2. Ikea furniture is essentially giant Lego for adults. WHOOHOO!

We then had a really awesome glass of wine to celebrate a job well done. 

Next, I headed home and had a piece of that awesome m&ms-topped choccy cake for lunch. 

And then I had a really awesome nap. 

The nap gave me sufficient energy to make it out to dinner at an awesome Mexican restaurant with my friend Viv, and then to the even more awesome show The Waifs put on at the Corner Hotel. 

I think I win Sunday!

What was awesome about your weekend?
