Friday

I didn’t even update yesterday – could this be a sign that I am starting to feel normal, and don’t need to project word vomit into here on a daily basis?  Possibly.  I did write a short entry in Word, then got too lazy to copy and paste it into any entry, plus it was just shit.

Work was okay today.  It was my assistant’s last day, and one of the solicitors organised a lunch for her.  I wasn’t very impressed, considering she was only here 6 weeks and we did less for people who were here for years.  Plus, I don’t think it’s really appropriate to reward someone who quits a job after 5 weeks (in my opinion, not really giving yourself a chance to get a proper feel for a job) and who laughed about how she doesn’t need another job to go to because her parents pay for stuff for her.  She had a good work ethic, but her general attitude is pretty shit.  But, she is only 17, and I was probably the same way.  Anyway, there was only about 6 of us that went, and I ate way too much crappy Chinese food and felt sick all afternoon.  

Finished work at 3:30pm today.  Raced home and collected M, and we drove an hour away to take the dog to the vet for his travel vaccinations.  The vet was really great and I wish he was closer.  He pretty much talked us into using a pet travel company, which we had thought about doing but were turned off by the cost.  It is really becoming stressful trying to figure everything out and hope we’re doing it right, so tomorrow we will do some proper research and probably select a company.  Ernie had his blood test, heartworm prevention shot, rabies shot and regular worming.  His sun spots are fine, but we need to keep an eye on them for changes.  The cyst on his ear is fine, his teeth are good and his nails were clipped.  His butt glands were drained (EW).  It cost just over $300, but I had estimated up to $500, so I wasn’t too dismayed.  

Still feeling like I am playing catch up on sleep.  I will likely sleep late tomorrow, and am pretty pumped about it.  I have a mountain of laundry to do and no idea where I am going to hang it all.  I need clothes to take to Sydney when we leave on Sunday.  

I guess that’s it for now.  Am getting the last of the stuff together that I need for my visa interview.  Looking forward to going to Sydney for a couple of days.  Going to stop thinking about work.  Am feeling good about being at mother’s house, although she is already mildly annoying – pretty sure that’s just because she has been in bed sick all week and is bored shitless.
