The worst part, I've decided of slow nights, is that I'm not quite drowning in things to do. Which makes it pretty hard to distract myself from the things I'd like.

I'm stupid.
I'm very stupid. If I had told Vicky, she'd think I'm stupid, too. I'm just
I know. But I don't know. And the parts I don't know about scare me. So here I am. Sitting in my office, writing half sentences to myself because I'm losing my mind just a little.
But I really want

I was wondering if you wanted to talk about

It's been a busy few weeks for me, but that's okay, really. I actually sort of like it more when I'm busy. It helps me to keep my mind off a lot of... things. And cooking is the best things for me to focus on.
I still haven't decided what I should do for the next step, business-wise. It's all sort of a lot to think about, and to plan. But I'm sure something will come to me eventually. My mum and dad seem to think it will, anyway.
I keep trying to talk about other things, but I know what I'm really thinking about. I'm thinking maybe I should just accept that nothing's going to happen there and... I don't even know. It really sucks, though.
If it wasn't horrible enough to hear what that Caxton woman did to those men, the fat that now all her tenants might suffer because of it is even worse. Maybe the Ministry will do... I don't know, something, to help with that? I can't imagine that those people losing their homes is actually something they'd let happen.

So. Is anyone maybe interested in a few (fresh!) Azah-made dishes... and, okay, maybe a few desserts too? I sort of got a bit carried away in the kitchen for most of yesterday and some of today.
Also. I can't really say I'm surprised by what happened to A Taste of India. Food poisoning would kill the reputation of any restaurant.

Sort of closed Dem's for Easter. Mainly for the day off -- and you all can stop right now with being surprised I took one. Plus, we still did pretty good even without speed dating in the evening. My mum and dad were glad to see me for more than 15 minutes, too.
I've been thinking, though. About expanding more. I mean, of course I love the restaurant and it's not going anywhere. And, okay. I already devote way too much of my life to work already, but - I just need... I don't know. But I feel like Dem's could and should be more than a little family-owned restaurant in the middle of Cardiff.

I came by. The gallery, I mean. But I avoided you didn't see you there. It's great, though.

So, I owled her.
I couldn't keep waiting to see if she'd do something first.
I'm glad the Ministry didn't give into what the WW&FFF wanted. That would have been horrible. Hopefully they'll find who brought it to such a populated place, though.

Okay. It's been a week now. And this whole thing where I'm waiting to see if Sana was just being nice is starting to wear sort of thin. And you'd think I wouldn't have had time to notice what with work and being busy and everything. But I have. Sue me.
Maybe I should just owl her? I mean... what's the worst it can do? It's better than sitting here wondering. Which I guess means it's settled.

So far today, I've stopped by my parents' house for breakfast and to wish my mum a happy Mother's Day. She and my dad also had a birthday present for me, which I'll admit was surprising just because I wasn't really expecting them to give me anything. But it was nice. My mum gave me that look at least once, though. That "I'm not going to say anything but you're too old to still be single" look. And what is it about parents -- or just mums, at least -- that make them want to push you into marriage and children and all that stuff once you reach the age of 25? Do they find grandchildren just that exciting?
Other than that I've spent most of the day at Dem's. It's not really all that busy but there's the weekly speed dating tonight and celebrating that I'm turning 30 feels weird to me and that usually turns up a pretty good crowd. It's something to do in any case.
private to vicky.
30.
I've realised that it was coming over the past month, but it just sort of hit me that I'm actually thirty years old. I'm officially in my thirties.
And. Sana sent me an owl.

The good thing in all this is that I learned my lesson after the last floo incident and I've pretty much sworn off the idea. I'll stick to Apparition from now on, and the occasional port key.
In other news, I've been trying out new dishes for the spring and summer at the restaurant. I think the menu could use a mini-update of sorts. And that is honestly my favourite part of the whole thing, experimenting with food. I have no idea what's going to end up on the menu, but I'm sure it'll be good. And hopefully I have awesome friends (or acquaintances!) who are willing to try some of them just to be sure...
private to self.
Okay. So it wasn't like it failed; there was a good crowd, and nothing went completely pear-shaped. But, I don't know. I still sort of wonder if the idea of speed dating is like a warning sign to some people. I mean, do they think that people who seriously go speed dating always have something wrong with them? Because I'd go if I wasn't running it. And... as far as I know, there's nothing wrong with me.
But then again, look at my experience. Or lack thereof.
Maybe that's what's "wrong" with me. I spend too much time at Dem's. But it's not like I could tell my parents that. I'm the one that told them to let me do it alone. And I spent months reassuring my dad that I could handle it, that it wouldn't be a problem, and that after running it for twenty years he really needed to take a break. And I wasn't lying. Because I can obviously do it. I've been doing it. I just
I don't know. I just feel like I'm missing out on something by being there almost all the time.
And I turn 30 in ten days. Kill me now.

A tip for anyone who was planning to Floo anywhere - don't do it. I don't think I ever landed so hard on my ass as I did just now.

I think this past week has been the best in a while. Not only did I actually have time to do something that had nothing to do with the restaurant, but all the orders that came in where right, and nothing was lost. Nothing spoiled in the fridge. No customers felt the need to push my staff to their breaking point, and I didn't have to fire anyone over the weekend.
All in all, I'd say that would be a pretty good reason to celebrate.
