So yesterday was interesting to say the least... A mixture of family frustrations, shiatsu ouchiness and flat car batteries made for quite the exhausting day. This is not particularly interesting, it just tells my two days off in fine detail....
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Up at 5.30am to take Carolyn to the hospital for a check up one final time (thank god), got stuck at shops in Manly with a dead car battery at about 11am (I have kinda been waiting for it to happen - was lucky i wasn't stuck in the middle of nowhere when it did) then had to find a new one then and there which caused a bit of a drama, but it all worked out. The over to pick up mum in a hurry to go see our shiatsu man. He explained in lengthy details why I've been getting hideous migraines of an afternoon, and told me a few ways to fix it - I can't wait to see if his theories work!
Finished at Chapel Hill at just on 5, Mum was in a hurry to get home so I got into an argument with her over which way I should go home - with her saying Coronation Drive and me saying the back way through Sherwood (cos Mum, who hasn't had to drive in the city regularly for over 20 years knows best of course and swears the traffic doesn't start until 6pm......). Knowing mum was in a hurry, and just wanting to prove my point I want via Coro and sat in traffic for an hour and 45 mins.
Mum wasn't a happy camper cos she was running late, and nor was I because I hate peak hour traffic more than anything, plus she was constantly trying to tell me how to drive - which is pretty much nothing when you are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Anyhoo finally got back to her house at 7.30. After spending a day with my mother, I was just dying to crank some music on the way down the coast, but cos I had replaced my battery the anti-theft device on my stereo reset and prompted me to enter some code which I obviously didn't know and couldn't find while parked on the side of the road. I just about cried, lol.....
Without any music to calm me down, haha, I made the fastest trip from Redland Bay to Southport in history and spent the rest of the relaxing - eating yummy indian, watching dvds and drinking alcoholic beverages with the person I'd been dying to see allll day.. I felt so much better
Today I slept in until 12, did some grocery shopping, then spent 4 hours doing motherly things like cooking and cleaning and laundering and for some reason I actually found it quite enjoyable and relaxing
And for once, Emily has come home and thanked me for doing such a good job cleaning
So glad that Miss Kye is back from Perth, things were a bit boring for a week or so with Miss Lelaina in the US (damn, she got to meet Steven Tyler!!), Miss Allure in the UK and Miss Reshizzle being busy with work and stuffs...
My sister moves to Macleay Island this weekend.... So for the next however many years she will be marooned far, far away from me 
Christmas this year will be at her place which will be nice Speaking of Christmas, because of the fall of the public holidays and my RDO's this year, I am lucky enough to get 3 days off over Christmas and 3 days off over new years!! Yay, so excited 
Yes, still looking for new person to live here - once again let me know if you may know of anyone who might be interested...Im in the valley.. Rent is $140 plus elec/net/phone
&hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts
And I missed you lots. True story. Bucketloads.
For the record, I hate traffic. I would have cried with no music.
As for the sunset thing, I was with company and tried really hard to keep everything inside. Which, I did okay with. Like, my eyes were hazy, but I didn't cry.
I felt so alive.
As for Christmas/New Year break, I'm stealing you for one of your days off. Uh-huh. I'm thinking cheese. Air conditioning and cheese. A bottle of bubbly?
love you.
