hello almost dead blog

After 2 weeks at the SPCA, 2 flus, a hellish flight, 15 days at a dairy I am back and sitting comfortable in my lovely bed in my lovely apartment. Last few days have been just lazing around, looking for fridges, putting things away, setting things up and the like. Trying to get things in order before the new semester starts and Milky moves in!

Can't wait. I've spent so much time alone in this apartment already, when David's not around. I don't mind being alone for brief periods, but I don't think I could live alone. Once i'm over the ME time I just feel bored. It makes me sit in front of the telly for HOURS. If housematey goes to sleep it makes me feel inclined to wander off to my own room instead of continuing to vegetate in front of the tv.

And, alone, by the time I feel remotely compelled to gather some essentials to take to bed (water bottle, phone, laptop), it's at a pretty stupid hour with everything just dead quiet. So quiet it rings it your ears how alone you really are. Wondering if the big bad housebreaking hobo can get in through the balcony window. OOooh lock room door time. WHY did I just do that to myself.

Anyway... David is moving in with Kathy and Bidina which should be pretty exciting. I love the fact that I'll go on over whenever, and yay all 3 are there! It's a lovely combination. We can do fun stuff together. Like play Taboo.

I have to announce here that I got the game for $5 from the Daylesford Market. Also got The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling for $2! I think David and I have made it a habit to check out markets. It's been pretty great so far, buying stupid shit. Taboo for $5 was a real bargain, I think it retails for $30-$40.

Still looking for fridges unfortunately, even though it hasn't been for that long. Fridge died while I was in SG, and David being such a sweetheart cleaned the mutating crap that was in there so I wouldn't come back to a major stinkfest. Thank goodness. I had to throw out the tupperware I used for the food cos there was a stink I just couldn't scrub off. I hate the fact that I have to stock a fridge from the start. Like... margarine and cheese and dips and stuff like that. Sauces, sambals, oh it hurts to know it's all gone. Fresh (pun hehe) start though.

Wow this is a fucking boring entry. Boringness continues.

I bought new boots today in a mildly drunken stupor, after 2 overpriced pints at rooftop. Was freezing up there though. BY THE WAY MELBOURNE, England rang, they want their shitty summer back. SHIT it was cold. And cloudy. Most depressing summer! It was so beautiful the start of last year, wearing dresses till the end of April. But NO. I saw people getting their winter gear out for today. Ridiculous. According to Mike, Melbourne is fucked for summer for the next 10 years because of La Nina. Jesus I really hope not.. So far Melbourne has had what.. 3 days of beautiful summery weather? Meh.

Yeah... Ok.
