Drama

So many family dramas yesterday! Was a really bad day with my Dad who won't look after himself and then blames the rest of us, despite all we try and do to help. He's a grown man who needs to take some responsibility! But that is an entirely long story I don't want to get into this morning. But it was already a bad family day and then my sister and I had an argument on the phone which remains unresolved. Suffice to say, I got no homework done last night as a result because I simply couldn't concentrate. So I have to cram this last assignment this weekend, gah!

Ivan and Miyuki are coming to visit today which I am looking forward to because I really need to unwind. It means tomorrow I'll probably go to Uni and use the computers there so I am away from distractions and can get this blasted thing done, but that's ok. I may be an expert at procrastinating, but I'm also fantastic at finishing things off that need to be, haha. Although I must admit to being a little panicked at the moment...

At the moment I'm just waiting for Glen to wake so we can go get our grocery shopping over and done with before we return to the comfort of our air conditioning. I hate hot weather, next few days are going to suck and blow!

Just over 9 weeks to go!

That's how long there is before our wedding. I can't believe it is so close! A year ago, I had a goal to lose 30 kilos by the time the wedding rolled around. Now the wedding is so close, I'll be lucky if I lose 5 :( Typical bloody Mel... I know my dress will look nice, just wanted to look nice for the photos, that's all. Never mind...

I can't believe January is almost finished. After this month, I'll be having 6 months off Uni as a bit of a break around the wedding and honeymoon. It'll be nice to have a break but I doubt it will free up much time. There is so much to do around the house before the wedding. We still have boxes of stuff we haven't unpacked - terrible! Not to mention the never-ending spiders and webs which seem to keep infiltrating our living space. Having big gum trees around is nice to look at, and hearing the birds is quite relaxing, but anything with more than four legs can GO AWAY!!!

Anyway, so my book buying addiction has not disappeared, but I genuinely am trying! I now have 166 books in the bookshelves that have not yet been read, but I've borrowed 2 books from my sister, am on a waiting list for 3 from the library, and I'm putting together a book club at work which will be using more library books, so I don't see this number of 166 dropping any time soon.

Oh, and then there's all the magazines...
