Happy Valentine’s Day… Whoever.

For the first time, since I’ve been in charge of the housework, I have time for myself. It’s a rainy, gloomy day today and I’ve had to keep the kids inside. I’ve done all there is to do. Everything’s tidy, dinner’s cooked. The kids’ room! I forgot the kids’ room! I’ll go do that.

I’ve set their beds. Now Andre Jai can tidy teh resta the room up.

And so today is Valentine’s Day. Michael’s given a flower and a poem to Megan, Chris has probably gone on a candlelit dinner with Anh, I don’t know what Josh would do with Louise – I don’t really know him in that sense -, Barbara no doubt got roses and a teddybear plus clothes and dinner from Sebastian, Sylv the same from Sean, and me… Well, it’ll be my 4th Valentine’s without a valentine. Sux.

Exactly a year ago, you me and Michael went to Southbank and saw the crappy "Practical Magic". It was our last outing together, as 3 brothers and sisters, living under the same room, before I was to move away 2 days later. A year! Wow…. A year already.

I think of Matt and briefly wish him a Happy Valentine’s Day. (But then, so do I to Jodi, Jasmine and Neisha?) It’s distant. It’s detached.

I am definitely leaving on the 17th. The truck will be delivering my furniture on the 23rd or the 24th.  So I’ll be without a bed again for like a week.

I’ve bought myself food for the train. I can’t wait to get to Townsville. But I don’t wanna leave. Well, I’ve talked about that before 🙂

Gotta go.
