It's the week after the bank holiday, which probably means you need some serious motivation to get through the next couple days.
We get it, you're lamenting the passing of the three-day weekend, while at the same time considering packing it all in and heading to Disneyland to get a job as one of the characters.
Plus, it's a Wednesday, so it really is a sad state of affairs altogether.
Here are five events happening this weekend that should help you get through hump-day.
RDS, Wednesday 8th August - Sunday 12th August 2018
Considered by some to be the pinnacle of equestrian sport in Ireland, this five-day event will see 1,500 horses and ponies competing in over 130 classes and competitions across the five days.
Of course, there will be plenty of entertainment over the course of the event with Ladies Day and Family Day making it an event not to be missed.
Dust down that frock and get yourself to the RDS.
You can get tickets here.
Saturday, August 11th, 3 pm - 9:30 pm.
The Camden Backyard are celebrating one of the best summers in ages with an outrageous daytime party with James Kavanagh as the host.
You can expect fun, frolics, dancing and romancing.
Think classic disco tracks mixed with a modern edge, mad dancers, circus performers, tasty food, frozen pink gin, ridiculous outfits, tons of confetti all in a big outdoor block party.
Enter through 'Camden Brews and Bites' and let the party begin!
Fri 10th August 2018 - Sun 12th August 2018, 8.00pm
Showcasing incredible talent across 2 stages in Whelan's. Ft. Cathy Davey, Bitch Falcon Sorcha Richardson & many more.

Gordon's and Lovin Dublin have teamed up to bring you a night of fun and more importantly, a night of Gordon's Pink cocktails.
Did we mention the flower wall for all those Insta pics?
Entry includes two complimentary Gordon's Pink cocktails, nibbles from a bespoke menu of delicious food, specially created for the event. We've even paired up with the amazing Cupcake Bloke to bring you a special Gordon's Pink infused creation, exclusively made for the Experience. There'll be vintage pink sweets adorning every table too, so arrive hungry!
