War zone!
I’m bruised, bitten and burnt all over!! In the last 3-4 days I have managed to slip over at work and bruise my knee, twist my ankle in a pothole I tripped over, got bitten by the neighbours cat quite badly, and then got hell sunburnt while waiting for the bride who was more than half an hour late! Even after Kari’s warning, I still didn’t learn my lesson and got quite badly burnt on my chest, luckily I was wearing make up with SPF so my face was saved. The bruise on my knee isn’t bothering me, but the ankle was quite sore and annoying during the two hour drive each way to the wedding venue, and my arm is very sore! I’m a little worried about infection, but I’ll leave it a day or two and go to the doctor if it even the smallest hint of infection shows itself. I still have one month left on my student ID, which means I can go to the Dr free for the rest of March, and it’s close to work, so no problem to take off for half an hour if I have to.
Apart from all that, it’s been a good weekend. Another long one thanks to the wedding being held on a Sunday, I stayed overnight and drove home this morning. Every idiot and his dog was on the road though, I was getting so annoyed!! I pulled over at the beach and took a walk around to try and ease the pain in my foot and calm down again, then got a chai latte before hitting the road again. Luckily the road from there back to town is basically one long passing lane, so it’s easy enough to avoid getting stuck behind someone annoying. Now I’m avoiding the annoying person at home, I gave her the ’shape up or ship out’ talk before I left yesterday. Apparently she needs ‘guidance’ about what we want her to do around the house. I suggested she use her eyes and brain to work it out, it’s pretty straight forward - if it’s dirty, clean it! So we’ll see what happens…. I came home today to find her taking up the other half of the table that I’ve been using as my sewing table. Trouble is I need the whole table! Quilting is time, money and space consuming. I relocated to the study and took over other flatmates study desk for my cutting board lol. Now I can hear the tv blaring through the wall. *Sigh*. I cannot wait for this lease to end in November so I can finally move in to my very own place, I’m totally over flatmates. I can also smell something really gross, so I’m guessing the annoying one is cooking dinner for her sister. She cooks everything in the microwave. I know I’ve said this before, but it just smells sooooo disgusting!!! Chicken and mince should not be cooked in the microwave. Ugh.
Anyways, enough of me bitching, I have to get back to my quilting, class is tomorrow and I have to live up to my nerd reputation and have all of my blocks done by then

My lease is up on Halloween and I CANNOT WAIT to get away from the elephants living above me. I’m back to sleeping in the living room because they are SO DAMN LOUD!
I’m sorry you’re in such rough shape dear. I hope you get better soon!
