Back to reality.

deathpixieI'm heading back to Wodonga this afternoon. Back to my own bed, which will be a good thing, but also back to the place where all the crap seems to be backed up. *grins* I live in the S-bend of Australia. ;)
Any way, still got a day left. Catching up with Ben again - more about that in a sealed post, I think, written at home where I have some privacy *eg* - and not doing a whole lot else because a) I'm not spending any more money, and b) I'm feeling the after-effects of training last night.
*stretches and ows* Ah yes, training. First bit of karate in a year, it seems. And Steve pushed us hard, real hard. And you know what? I loved it, even when my arms turned into overcooked spaghetti. ;) And it was great to see the karate folks again, especially the expressions of surprise when they saw me (and the new hair colour). In some ways I feel more comfortable with the karate people than I do with anyone else - something about the trust involved in martial arts, I think. And MUKC plays together as well as trains together, which means we're more than just co-members of a sporting club, we're friends.
I miss it.
The other thing about this weekend is how badly it's given me the travel urge. I'm making concrete plans, thinking of things that need doing and things I need to take and what I want to see and people I need to contact. I do need to make a downpayment on the tickets, otherwise I won't get them paid off in time - next weekend, I think. Two hundred on the plane tickets, two hundred on the credit card will spread out the debt - and there's no interest on the lay-by for the tickets.
*bounces* Time to get this show on the road. :) More details next post, especially since I have a favour to ask of the So-Cal people. ;) Want to get back to my computer.
