Yes, it has been a while, hasn't it? 2007 was basically my family's annus horribulus, so by the end of it, raking over the coals of two dead grandparents and all the uncertainty of where will we live next week - well, it did feel a game show at some points, hmm. Just needed to take a bit of a break I guess.
So the big news is that the parents have moved, to Woop Woop 90210 (aka halfway to the Sunshine Coast), and because I wouldn't move with them - eight kays away from public transport, and I don't want to have to rely on the taxi service - I had even less time than them to find a rental place. Nundah to be precise, lots of rental places around here, and I must have looked at at least fifty of them online if not in real lol. By myself, which is a positive, with broadband (so am listening to Vancouver radio station at the moment, mmm the accents). Of course, setting the household up basically took all my savings, and the number of arguments with the close friends, well, let's just accentuate the positive :)
Although the New Year has started off delicately in another direction, had a seizure, the first in fourteen months, last weekend. Was all by myself at home as well, until someone decided to put a phone call in and start a general conversation. I was at that babbling stage, and then my parents were on the case and came and picked me up. Feeling uber crappy at work this week, had one day off sick, two doc appointments, one set of blood tests, which are epilim is low, liver count is high, play with the dosage and have more tests in two weeks. Uber crappy...
One two bedroom flat (one bedroom acting as a study) is four weeks bond, two weeks rent in advance, three ute tray loads of furniture from home, one x LCD TV, one x washing machine, one x fridge, one x microwave, one x computer, and endless trips to the supermarket. LOL I have fallen in love with Woolworths.
Work is same old same old. Staff are good, but work is less than good. Hope to have the next social drinks this coming Friday, fingers crossed more than three people will turn up... off to the parents for dinner tonight.
Later taters
