Think I will call home. I'm getting twitchy and irritable and I could really do with talking to mum and dad and finding out how things are.
Damn time difference...
Dec. 4th, 2005 12:56 pmSo, my Dad went in for surgery on his knee yesterday. Wish him a speedy recovery, hmm?
Signs of Life
Oct. 18th, 2005 10:14 pmYep, I'm alive and still vaguely online. I say vaguely despite having spent three hours on the computer this morning because that was dealing solely with email and RP stuff and trying to not drop people in the shit plot-wise as well as wrapping my own. Sorry if I've been very short with people communication-wise, but yeah, not a lot of time and brain's kind of... full this week. I'm feeling impatient and twitchy and needing to do stuff whilst at the same time I haven't done anything much.
Wodonga has been actually pretty calming. Less time online and no time at work being yelled at by pushy journalists, lots of time spent with my family and eating (my god, the eating!) and drinking and playing pool (Mum and Dad just got a pool table, hah!) and just basically soaking it all in. The party Saturday went really well, with a good mesh between my family and my friends. Especially since it was mostly the favourite family members there, who are decent, not-crazy-most-of-the-time people. Things died down pretty early (around midnight), but yeah, a good night was had by all, I believe.
I head back to Melbourne tomorrow on the 12:33pm train. Gets in around 4:30-ish. Yep, four hours on a train. I'll be either sleeping or writing, depending on how much seating space I have (mid-week train, so I might score a row of seats to myself!) and how dead I feel after all this relaxing. ;) Then it's packing and cleaning and phone calls to various people to change addresses and the like and then Thursday night at the Elephant with Phil and hopefully Bounce.
And then Friday I go.
*is overwhelmed*
Sleeps: 3
Alcohol units: 1
Bags left to pack: 3
People to miss: Many and lots.

Briefly...
Aug. 27th, 2005 01:10 pmStill at home, have eaten so much I think I'm going to have to be rolled onto the train. Am mostly caught up with the family gossip following a visit to my grandparents, although was amused to find out no-one told my auntie Leanne that I'm going to Canada until last week. Oh, and she and her partner are trying to get pregnant. Consider me boggled.
Dad and I make a team supreme with the shopping - family BBQ tomorrow, so much with the food gathering. And I've been helping mum in the garden. All nice, quiet domestic stuff.
Caught up on the LJs. Congrats to the newly employed, best of luck to those seeking, and all my thoughts to an old friend right now.

Aug. 25th, 2005 10:42 pmGot the double with the train trip up - loud children and a chatty grandma. Fortunately feigning sleep always shuts one of them up.
Girl, Interrupted is a damn fine film - Dad's been exploring the world of cheap DVDs. I could spend a week just watching movies here...
It's good to be home.
