Look, I'm never going to write anything if i try to write down everything. I'm going to have to start slow and go from there.
My hands are covered in paint as I'm writing this... there are one and a half rooms to go. This doesn't count the lino-ed rooms (kitchen, dining room, 2 x bathrooms) which will wait for another time. The new carpet is coming on Friday, thus the haste for painting while I can still drip paint on the horrible, horrible old carpet with equanimity.
I can't see the TV because there is a mattress standing on its side between me and it. The TV. Because we've been sleeping in the lounge for weeks due to paint fumes. Well, for days due to paint fumes. Weeks, due to laziness to put back up the curtains. It's not so bad except the dog can walk straight onto the bed and lie down on your throat. Well, he's only done that once. Twice.
It was my birthday. I had cake. It was good.
The cat has gone missing, the day of the massive storms in Melbourne. This is not good and I am heartsick about it. We have letter dropped, signs, rung all the shelters repeatedly. We spend hours walking the streets calling. Which is also not good because it excites the dog and he looks around for the cat. Awful. I'm not talking about this any more, and won't until we find him.
Before all this, it was Easter and I went back to New Zealand. It was good and the weather was great. Man, I haven't written here for a LONG time.
I resigned from my job and am starting a new one in three weeks. This will be good but I am sad to leave all the people at my old job. Well, most of the people.
I tried on a dress today and loved it, then casually looked at the price tag before I bought it. It was $249. I had no idea and I will not pay that. It was a tough call though, because I have no willpower. But I also have no money. I also didn't buy green Camper boots, which were considerably more than $249, but they didn't fit them properly so I didn't feel so bad about leaving those behind.
I think that's all for now. I don't even have any photos. Well I do, but they're all in the camera. But if I wait until I have photos... I think you know the rest.
