This week hasn't been the most spectacular week of my existance… but I feel somewhat more in touch with reality, which I guess is good.
I'ts weird, even though I work, I still experience uni holidays in the sense that everything stops while they are on. So now that everyone is back at uni I feel like I'm in routine once more. And work seems to get a little more painful.. not sure why.
And with a trip to Parkes to look forward to, I shall trek off tomorrow with the impossible task of finding a relatively 'good' present for my sister's 21st. The girl who was previously planning large parties and celebrations is now saying to me “it's no big deal.. not even a round number”. Yeah right…..
And for the sake of beating Jess to the punch..:
We have bugs that live in the digital screen of our microwave… does anyone else think that is incredibly weird? How the heck do you get rid of them? Are they microradioactive? Perhaps they have mutated into a new species of microwave-dwelling bug…..
On that note, I shall depart.

It's amazing how weird words find their way into your vocab.
Meanwhile I just bruised my hand and I have no idea how. It actually freaked me out coz it was like a big blue blob appeared on my hand out of nowhere. My body is just strange.
Yay for feeling motivated at work once more. I actually got stuff done today! Lets hope it lasts…
PS: Lucy dear… I can't comment on your posts… please change your settings so I can

I have to be a part time receptionist at work at the moment. Our full time receptionist decided now was an opportune time to jet set around Europe for 2 months!! ::jealous look::
It's amazing how just sitting at the front desk and waiting for the phone to ring can drain all your energy leaving you with no motivation to actually do any work. Staring into space seems like the brain-friendly option. Of course the fact that I'm tired may have something to do with it.
Meanwhile I had the best Bible Study last night. We kind of mixed up the groups a bit which made group dynamics quite different to normal. In fact, I felt like I was being the 'loud' person in the group.. I'm never the 'loud' person. But it was great not being interrupted I guess! We talked about knowledge and understanding of God being a means to an end rather than just an end, a view that I never really thought about before. Good stuff.
With another weekend full and more to come I wonder whether I'm becoming one of the those 'couple' types with an ongoing social agenda. Given one of those full weekends is devoid of 'coupleness'… I still feel somewhat guilty. Am I becoming that girl who gets a boyfriend and forgets about everyone else in her life? I really hope not.

Well… I am until tommorrow anyway.
Well all I can say is that thank goodness I'm out again. Hospitals are so much more blah when you're more awake. It was a weird feeling having visitors that were asked before they entered if they were pregnant and then had to stay on the other side of the room for the whopping great time of 15 mins before they had to leave again. When and if the nurses/doctors came to see you they talked and did everything at top speed and got out of there as quickly as possible. I know it wasn't personal but it was still blah. I'm very happy to be able to hug and be hugged again.
PS: hospital food sucks more everytime I go. You know it's bad when you feel nauseous at the sound of the lunch trolley coming down the hallway…..
That said, my week has definately improved since coming home… We had our first proper date on saturday which was very nice. We wandered around lookouts and lagoons in the mountains and picniked in the car coz we were both frozen and it was drizzling! Then we got shouted Chinese for dinner…. very cost effective… 
It was a lovely, peaceful, happy kind of day.
Last night was the BEST. Since I couldn't come to church… church came to me! Our lounge room was crammed with bodies and we were even given the last part of the sermon which couldn't be finished in time in the service! It was so nice to have everyone there, laughing and singing and talking. It could have made up for many weeks in hospital.

It is with mixed feelings I experience another 'last day at work before….'.
I have nothing really horrible to be apprehesive about, but nonetheless it is a hopstible visit. And hopstible's are not where I want to be, they are not fun.
Perhaps if I hadn't had certain 'distractions' this week I may have had more of an idea of how I feel about it.
That said, I have set certain aims for the week:
- knit two scarves as surprises for people (don't tell!)
- read the narnia series …. again
- Lots of music listening
- I also hope to have the presense of mind to pray lots.
Well… I shall be back..

If the gentleman in question doesn't mind me saying a few more words about my current state of being… The last post was very true but… just doesn't do justice to the situation.
Hmmm… how to put this? Bluntly – I am no longer single.
This is something I am not familiar with at all and trying to write a post about it is difficult in that I don't know what is best to reveal to the world/small group of friends. But I would feel uncomfortable about saying nothing at all since so much of my life in the last few months has been recorded here already.
So, with this in mind, I have found a very special guy. Although I am completely taken aback that everything has happened so quickly (or slowly depending on who you talk to)!! We have been very careful to try and set the groundwork very solidly with it's basis being our relationship with God. And that is the best thing about it.
I may sound clinical… but that is only because I'd rather not subject pple to large amounts of mushiness – having been on the other end of it many a time.
I AM very happy… trust me! There are so many things to look forward to …

I know that if I don't post today I'll get into trouble, and if I do I'll get into perhaps more trouble…. so for comprimising's sake. I shall only say that I had a very wonderful weekend.

1. Your friend was complaining that she's the only one who ever updates her journal.
2. You have nothing better to do and you're at WORK!!!?????
However I will continue…
My first 'episode' happened yesterday quite suddenly. This combined with train issues and an encounter with the 'Incredible Farting Man' put me into a very foul mood. I had no choice but to neutralise this mood by knitting the night away and watching 'Clueless'.
My week so far has had some random great but simple moments in it….
A impromtu jam after church was good for laughs and tears. Just good to hang out.
Our flatmate girl-talk night was really great and fairly neccessary for some of us. Nice to get some stuff out in the open. Enough said.
And Bible Study was also good…. a new realisation of things we attempt live out but don't neccessarily think about too often.
Things to look forward to:
- Sleep
- A leeeeeetle bit of shopping
- Hey Jeronimo at Attic
- General hangoutwithfriendage
And with not much more to share I shall leave you now.
