Dude, where’s my cat?
It’s early and I haven’t been able to sleep because Collie Cat didn’t come home last night. I hate it when she pulls these late night capers because it makes me feel like an arsehole pet owner and super irresponsible.
I’m sure she’s probably taken cover somewhere to avoid the inclement weather or is stuck in someones garage and will be home for breakfast soon enough, or at least that’s the way it’d better go or I’ll be an unhappy and pedantic camper.
The last few weeks I’ve been really sick. For over a week, I couldn’t keep any food down at all. It was odd…I wouldn’t feel nauseous, I’d just get the overwhelming sensation of wanting to be sick. Combine that with being super fatigued and the kind of coughing that would put an Emphysema patient to shame and that’s been my life for the last 2 weeks. Thankfully the hurling has ceased, but the cough is lingering and I’m flat out knackered at the moment.
Lucky for me, today brought with it good news. We have finally found a place to live! It totally fell into our laps and the Landlady adores us! It’s in Aspendale Gardens…2 storey, 4 bedrooms plus study, ducks that live in the ceiling and blow down hot and cold air, a freakin dishwasher and would you believe, she’s cool with pets!? Fuck, it’s such a relief to have finally found somewhere. I’ve been so stressed out here the past 3 months. Money issues, problems with our Landlord generally being a cunt…that sorta thing. Plus, house hunting was honestly driving me to tears. Any time we found a place that was suitable, it was out of our price range, out of someones comfort zone for proximity to work/family/station…and the houses we did see and apply for, we were beaten out by families and couples. It really has just been a fairly shitty month or so.
So finding a house is one thing on the list crossed off. The others items are now packing and moving (if you know me, you’ll know what a freakin hoarder I am!) and getting the bond back here which I’ve heard from previous tenants could be hard work. This is meant to be in 2 weeks time.
You know what else will be happening in 2 weeks time? I’ll be coming off my medication. Won’t that be a barrell of fun! Oh and I also have to have my wisdom teeth removed on June 19th. So you know, all in all, I’m shitting my pants with stress going to cope wonderfully with all of these issues. *grumble*
Anyway, I’m off to bed to wait for Collie cat to come home.
