Well, after days of not being able to even see my diary, I can finally add an entry again :) Still a few of my friends missing, how sad, but I guess we'll get there...

The Boy and I are kind of ultra-tolerant of one another lately... I don't know whether because we feel there's no point in arguing any more, or whether we're just very used to how we are and it doesn't bother us any more. I've been organising almost all of the packing, but it really doesn't bother me because I have a specific way that I want to be doing things, and he'd only bugger up my system if he were helping anyway, so it's all good. Garden's still got to be tackled, but I think that's today's project for both of us.

Still unsure what's to become of my cat, but that depends on what's the become of the Boy, which should get sorted within the next month or so... I'm going to miss the little guy so much. Even in my years alone, he was there with me. He really is like my child in many ways... an ultra-independent, clean, self-sufficient child to boot :) It's going to be weird without him... Mama's leaving home, little kitty ;)

What else can I say? Now that I'm able to write again, I seem to have nothing to say... this was going to be a big social week but things didn't end up working out that way. I went to the Church Mouse's perfume party on Tuesday, knowing full well that I wouldn't buy a thing but I got to drihnk champagne and eat chocolate covered cherries and most importantly, catch up with the Church Mouse, which was really good. The Christian is having birthday drinks this afternoon that I won't be able to attend since I'll be working about an hour later. I was also supposed to go climbing with the Tall Guy on Thursday but I was too tired from work and we ended up postponing to Monday night.

I've been working every day this week at the cafeteria for a television station, my fellow casual employee keeps telling me she's spotting stars but it means nothing to me since I have not watched television for over a year now. It's been a good job, the people are very friendly and I've been taking home armloads of food every day, to the point where the Boy and I will definitely not have to shop before we leave this house :) On top of that I've been doing the Thai place still, my second last week there after over two years. It must be a little strange for the Boss - my departure, coupled with other staff going back to school and uni, means that she's had to employ three extra staff, after having a pretty much solid staff and roster for about a year... but I guess many staffing changes are the rule in this industry anyway.

I'm not really sure what I'm going to be doing for the next month. As I'll be house-sitting, my expenses will be minimal, perhaps I can work less and just focus more time on learning Japanese... but I need to have something happening or I'm likely to get really bored... I guess I could apply for a job locally or something, I still have to fund my trip to Adelaide somehow!

Anyway, time to face the day... I'm looking around my house full of boxes and there are lots of thoughts and no way of expressing it all in words... time to get some gardening done before the day gets too hot.

Before After
