Just don’t know what to do with myself.
Well it's not that bad but today's the first day that I've woken up & gone, hmmm, ok?! I haven't even been home quite a week & the biggest thing that's getting me is the heat, that, & I'm not used to been around people that I know so much which is interesting. I know I should be looking for somewhere to live & for a job but I'm kinda putting it off & I'm not sure why. Ive decided tomorrow that Ill try to look at a few places & hence Ill be back to reality which is a bit exciting but that little bit scary too. The other day Mum was like you should call up & find out if you can go & see some of the places to rent, better to do it sooner rather than later. Ive given myself a week just to get used to been back. That & I kinda think Ive been putting it off cause Im not quite sure how to explain my money situation, which is ok, but not quite normal & I will have to get part time work if I dont want to deplete my account completely though. I can see it now, Them: so what do you do? Me: Um, yeah, um, Im a bum & have just traveled the world but I do have money, Honest! Wonder if I can just do the whole Im going to be a student thing
This is strange, I havent shared a house in about 8 or 9 years. Cross your fingers for me.
It was kinda funny, yesterday my mum goes to me you realize you wont be able to have the same life style you were used to? Me: Really?! hehehe :o) In theory I know this but this morning I looked at my vacuum (of all things) & it was like, hmmm Dysone... thats not really a students vacuum is it? Then I was thinking of my furniture doesnt quite fit either but I love it & spose Im really lucky I got it before I approach the no money part of my life. Kinda backwards but it works :o)
Um, what else. I have brown hair not blonde how strange is that! Well technically its ash blonde but its interesting seeing people who know me, again & noting their observations & also realising that before they had probably never seen my natural hair colour because I was a hair dresser junkie.
Im a bit disappointed that Im a few kilos heavier than when I left. Its no big deal but you know when you do that whole going away thing & want to come back looking kinda good? Hmmm, well, thats me anyway some things never change. I may have given up the heels and gained a passion for baggy jeans & flip-flops but it still would have been nice to have come back looking great :o) I console myself with the thought that I have just been in winter so all is good.
The week thus far. I was surprised at how tired Ive been. I think Im over the worst of the jet lag now, but earlier in the week it wasnt pretty & I was tired & grumpy. I finally feel like I can start doing things again. Yesterday morning I woke up & was like lets go for a walk, it was good to get some exercise.
On Sunday I caught up with Eve which was fantastic. We had a BBQ at her place & it was nice to catch up with Adam too. After the BBQ a group of us that went to the moonlight cinema about this time last year went again Ferris beullers day off. Must admit the whole jetlag thing I only slept about through 10 min of the movie & wasnt amazingly sociable. It was great to go though. I crashed at Eves then Monday morning we went for brunch! YAY! Ive so missed Brunch! Nice relaxed chatting that doesnt include so where have you traveled plus lets not forget the decent food :o)
Monday afternoon I went to the Leisure Centre with mum & soaked in the spa for close to a hour I think even though it was stinking hot out side it was lovely just to soak. I really miss my old apartment, the spa there was amazing!
Ive kinda lost Tuesday, I think I read a book, yep I did. Wednesday I went for a wonder around Westfields (go the airconditioning in shopping centres!) & it scares me, I didnt see any clothes that I wanted to buy. Nothing jumped out & grabbed me. I met up with Char which was great.
Yesterday was rather busy. A big walk to the supermarket with me wanting to wonder down every isle. I love the way the supermarkets are set out here, I really couldnt get used to the supermarkets else where they just werent logical I tell ya :o) Then the heat was upon us. We retreated to Rodes shopping centre (Oh how I love Aircondioning!). I think it got close to 40oC yesterday. We wonder around Ikea & to my surprise I left with out purchasing a thing. I worry myself a little ;o)
Last night I caught up with the ex inlaws. Honestly I wasnt sure how it would go down but it was great. It didnt stir up any emotion. It looked like theyd taken down the photos of my ex & his girl, Im still not sure what to think about that man, I wanted to be nosy & see them, hehehe, Im bad. What was really funny though is that we were going to go to the club for dinner & as you do I was wearing flipflpos, in my defence they were pretty ones & had sparkles on the thong part, but no, I was turned away classic. Turned out for the better cause we just got Red Rooster & ate at their place which reminded me of old times, it a good way.
Today, dont know. Mums decided to go to NZ on Sunday as my Nana isnt to well so I think there is a bit of rushing round to be done. Tonight Im catching up with Claudia, I cant wait. I feel like it was kinda rushed at the airport so itll be good to spend the evening with her & Little.
I think its fantastic that some things never change & Im lucky to have very close friends that havent forgotten about me while Ive been gone. I was blown away that Claudia, Lyndon & Little came to the airport. It still makes me smile when I think back to walking out of the arrival gates & I saw them, it was mad! :o)
Hmm, wonder if anyones still reading. Ive just realised that this is like 2 pages long, it has been a while since Ive posted.
Only other thing to report is that I got a txt form Surfers boy. Oh that & I think I have a pen pal :o) I met this guy in Wales who works with a friend of mine. A group of us had coffee for 10 or 15 minutes then we let them get back to work. He asked my friend for my email address & weve been in email contact since. Scary thing is we write novels to each other. Its interesting.
I sent out a email letting quite a few people know I was home. Ive heard back form quite a few but no one that I used to work with. Not sure if I really care but I thought that maybe I would have
Oh well, should go have a shower & start the day. It's only 9.30am & it's starting to get hot & sticky already.
