Song of Rebirth: Homeward Bound

Well folks, I've moved into my new place in Wagga and once must say, I was happy with this place when I first laid eyes on it, but right now, after staying here for three days, I am more than pleased. This place will do nicely I think.

Mmmm... I like the sound of my voice today, I'm singing while Nell is in the shower, and it's nice.

We are headed home today to clean up my place before my grandmother comes home, we left it in a sad state of repair before leaving because of time restraints, so we've got a busy couple of days ahead of us. Ned comes back through Leeton on Friday night to pick up some stuff to take back here, so I have to be ready for him then with everything we missed, which is quite a lot from my camp. I might have to take a page out of Nell's book and make a list of things before we go. I might just do that.

In any case, it's TAFE enrollment day on Monday and Nell finds out exactly what she's doing over here then, which will be good. We also get a chance to see how far she has to walk to TAFE each day from here. Logistically, it doesn't seem that far away, and the main street is actually closer than I thought it was, but it's still good for us to check to see. We don't want the poor girl walking any further than she absolutely has to.

I should probably look for some stuff to bring from home to give me something to do as well, because in my spare time this week, while I've been waiting for Nell to get better, I've done nothing but sit here and tap on this bloody computer. To be perfectly honest, I used to do this a whole lot more than I do now, and it just doesn't give me the satisfaction anymore. I'll have a look around home, see what there is, we'll work something out.

I don't have heaps more news to be perfectly honest. Not a lot has happened, Nell got sick, and I've been looking after her while trying not to get sick myself. I'm looking with apprehension at my phone bill which is starting to spiral. I couldn't pay the money I wanted to from this pay because neither Nell or Ned has any money at all, and it fell on me to pay for every single expense that cropped up this week. Thats not a problem, but I'm in trouble now and I don't like that feeling at all. Here's the golden part, even though they'll both read this and offer me some form of monetary recompitence I wont accept it, because that'll mean they are both in weaker positions to help the house itself and the same thing will happen when I next get paid. I don't want this situation turning into a viscous cycle. Best thing they can do is just let me handle it and pay for the house while I do.

*nods*

Happy Birthday Pa...

Sounds about right. I don't have much else, I'll leave you with a quote and wish you all happy and safe days until we talk again. Cya'll.

"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a
fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words in order
that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has
implanted in the human soul."
-Johann von Goethe
