home at last...

i really get quite antsy when i am away from my little hidey-hole for too long. 5 days is way over the comfort zone limit...

christmas was too darn hot - 41°C on christmas eve and 33°C on christmas day. i'm moving somewhere where the temperature never goes over about 23-24°C. despite having air-con, my father moans and bitches about the cost of having it on. it is easier to sit in a puddle of sweat than listen to him.

i suppose i should stop complaining, i am home now and it is a good 5-10 degrees cooler near the coast. i have my funky new beanbag to sit on, while i watch my 'da kath and kim code' dvd and i might indulge in a little bit of chocolate - i must have been mostly good as santa was kind.

on another positive note: i don't go back to work until next tuesday!! yippee!!!!!

i forgot to add that last friday night, while having dinner at the local bowling club with my parents, i saw a guy that i grew up with. we were born on the same day in the same year but there is no way you would believe we are the same age (i'm actually 6 hours older than him). when i look in the mirror, i see a 44 year old face... having seen his 44 year old face, i give thanks the wrinkle gods and my mother's genetic code...

a 14 tuesday which is 140% of the RDDHA - bon(e)us points because i got to pat some puppies in the petstore and also my sister's dog. not a lot of dog sightings from friday to monday but there were enough to keep me happy.
