well i'm finally back online after new year and now the floods in brisbane. my internet has been down.
luckily my apartment is up high enough to have not been affected, but we did have to evacuate andy as his street ended up underwater. his apartment is fine as he is on the second floor and luckily his garage stayed pretty dry but the street is a mess. in the lowest point of the street we saw 2 cars that were almost completely covered with water... and that was when the floods hadn't even peaked yet.
we've been cut off on all sides so no access to the city (or work). nothing left to do byt stay in and keep up to date with the news coverage. not exactly how i had planned to spend my 30th birthday. i know i shouldn't complain, at least we were safe... but still.... it would have been nice to have dinner cooked for me (i had to cancel dinner plans due to the flood, obviously) or some special effort made. it got me pretty down that andy didn't even offer. didn't help. just left it to me. i don't think he really copes with stressful situations very well. at least i manage to keep a level head...
on the up side he is going to take me to see Wicked in sydney for my birthday... but i'm not sure when because he hasn't organised it yet...
all in all a pretty shit birthday.
hope you are all well and haven't had too much trouble in this crazy weather that has been affecting so many places lately.
