I called my brother to ask him how much insulin to give Chessa, and he sounded sad, and like he wanted to talk to me for a bit longer. I don't know if that's true or not, but it made me miss him.

And I have exfoliator in my eyes, and it stings and they're watering. But maybe a bit of crying, too.

Eep, my mother is fabulous!

"Hi Anna! Listen, I have to ask you something."

"Uh oh, have I been spending your money again?"

"No no. We're in Italy, right."

She pauses, so I can confirm that they are indeed in Italy.

So, the new office is working out wonderfully! Even the girls think it's a novelty - today Georgia sat on the rocking chair and ate noodles while I worked. Sat. Quietly. While I worked. Are you grasping just how crazy the concept is? I have ticked off heaps of things on my to do list, and also received the most wonderful feedback of all time:

I am hereby in my new study. I have kicked the girls and their stuff out of their room, bought myself a lovely new monitor and filing cabinet and am now happily sitting, undisturbed, with the door closed, doing whatever the hell I like ( Read more... )

I feel a bit sad today, actually. I didn't get any renewal notices for edible.nu, so had completely forgotten it was about to expire until I tried to go there.

Unfortunately, this morning we walked past two tiny, tiny possums on the footpath, dead. They can't have been more than a couple of days old - no fur, eyes fused shut - and my heart just broke. So small and gorgeous and ( Read more... )

I re-enrolled in uni this morning for next year, choosing only subjects that I can do via correspondence, as I have zero desire to try to organise a crazy toddler and a newborn at the campus. It’s hard enough with just Georgia. So, correspondence subjects ( Read more... )

Oh Lord, my baby is getting so big! We picked up her Pixi Fotos today - she's SUCH a big girl, I nearly died when I saw them!

Uni starts in.. okay, the clock on mum's new computer says it starts in 13 hours, but that's wrong. It starts in 18 hours. My first class is part one of my sociology lecture (the other part is on Thursday at 8am). I'm ever so excited. I've done all the journalism reading for about the first three months ( Read more... )
