A feverish month..

August is turning out to be a month of feverish activity. Not only are we on an official countdown to Esther's wedding (21 days!), but it is my birthday, two hen nights (one for Esther and one for a work colleague), a birthday party for friends and other little bits and bobs. Work is pretty manic too as I have the auditors coming in next week - arrg! I'm kinda looking forward to September when things will chill out again. Saying that, I am a person that thrives on activity and having stuff to do, but I also love having the solitude of my own company and relaxing with a good book. It's in the relaxed time that you get to recharge your batteries. This morning I am off to the hairdressers with one of the bridesmaids to have her hair trial for the wedding - I shall just sit and read my book and make the appropriate noises of approval or disgust depending on the hairdo! I'll also have some time to think about my birthday and how I feel about turning 32. It's been a really tough 10 months and I want to make sure that I get some good celebration time for myself, and that it doesn't get swallowed up in all the wedding prep.
