Parents, then more illness
April 29th 2008 @ 1:16 pm |

I’m terrible at keeping my promise to post more often, but I’m here, I’m alive and I have some time to catch up on all those comments I need to leave, and a new blog post. But this will be reasonably short after the extensive post I made last time.

My parents came up for the long weekend on the 25th, to spend some time with us and to go to a Caravan and Motorhome Expo at Caulfield. So they came up on Friday, and since Michael was at the Wrestling that night, it was just me, Mum and Dad. We ordered in Indian food for dinner, had a few drinks and then they went back to their hotel room for the night.

On Saturday, we joined Mum and Dad at the Expo they wanted to go to, which was (for me) kind of boring, but it was nice to spend the time with them, of course. It was 4 or so hours of just looking at caravans and motorhomes (yawn!). Anyway, we finished there at about 2-3pm, came home and then had Alisha (my sister) and Jernej (her boyfriend) come around so that we could go out for dinner. We went to the Irish Times, one of our favourite pubs here in the city, and had a great dinner and more than a few drinks. We came back home, mum and dad went back to the hotel at around 1am, and Alisha and Jernej hung around till about 2:45am, drinking and talking and stuff, which was fun.

On Sunday, we got up reasonably early - Mum and Dad came around for breakfast and to leave their stuff at our house since they had to check out of the hotel. Alisha joined us for lunch at Melbourne Central, and we did a bit of shopping and walking around the CBD before about 4:00pm where we had to go back home so Mum and Dad could get the bus to the airport at 5:30 and needed a bit of a sit-down before leaving.

So, Mum and Dad went home, then Michael, Alisha and I went to the supermarket for a few things we needed. Alisha and I decided to go out and get some dinner, so we went to this place called Grill’d where they have really yummy beef and chicken burgers. We came home around 7:30, Alisha hung out for a bit longer then headed home, and we got into bed.

Now, I have had a sore throat since Saturday, and yesterday morning I woke up with the sore throat, chest pain, coughing, runny nose and dry chapped lips, so I decided not to go to work and just stay home. I visited the Doc who said it could be a viral thing, so all I have to do is sit home and give myself some R&R. So good that I got a couple days off work, but not so good since I’m sick and it’s money I’m missing out on.

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be heading back to work (:() and getting back to the normal, daily grind.

So, that’s the last few days in a nutshell. Nothing super exciting for anyone else, but was fun for me :)

Wicca, Websites and What I’ve been up to.
April 15th 2008 @ 5:16 pm |

I’m so sorry I haven’t posted for a while - I know I made a vow to get back into posting regularly, and now I haven’t done so for over a week, so I’m terribly sorry. I’d also like to apologise for those 15+ Despair comments I’m behind on - I have them in my To-Do list and will hopefully get to them tonight.

A whole lot of stuff has happened this week - well, not a whole lot of stuff, but a couple of significant things. Number one is that Michael and I have been living in our apartment for a year now, which is awesome because it means neither of us has killed the other in that amount of time and we’ve managed to hold it down.

Number two is a significant event in my life, and some of you already know this so it might be old news now, since it happened on the 10th, but it’s still pretty huge to me and I’ll get to that in a second. In smaller news, we purchased two new goldfish, Urik and Anya, bringing the total number of fish to four (we lost Vladimir last week :( )

Lately, I’ve been working on http://geekwitch.org - I’ll warn you in case you have very Christian or other-religious parents; it does contain content of a Pagan/Wiccan nature, so don’t get caught peeking at that while the ‘rents are around, and respect their wishes if they’ve expressed to you that you’re not to look at that sort of content under their roof.

I’ve also joined a couple of new messageboards to do with Wicca and Paganism, and got into some really interesting discussions and debates, which is great in furthering my knowledge and horizons as to what I’m learning and experiencing.

So, I’ll get to the big news now - since there’s a lot to write, it’ll be after the break.
