The agenda was to get up early and be extremely productive today. The plan included a morning swim, a quick stop at the mall to buy goodies and have a general look around then back home to check and answer email greetings. Was supposed to end the day with a nice family dinner (with lots of dessert) and the smug thought that I hadn't wasted my first day of being a year older.
The reality was me sleeping half the day away. I can't be smug about that now can I?
I did manage to check mail and to have the dinner and dessert...but I'm afraid all thats done is add another few thousand calories to the heap I've already got lined up to burn off.
Now that I think about it, there wasn't much of a chance of getting out and about anyway as the universe has seemed to conspire on my staying at home today. I hear traffic was practically at a standstill all over Dubai this evening due to some guy visiting. Not many people here like this guy and this traffic situation doesn't help his rep at all.
The "guy" is US President Bush. With him in town, the major roads have been closed and / or re-routed. It doesn't help things that it rained the whole day. Not for the traffic or my plans to go out.
The up-side to that is it has officially been declared a holiday tomorrow and I'll have time to pester Dad and Nik to go out.
I shall just have to celebrate again tomorrow when the skies clear. No law against that is there?
