The Virtuous Visitor: A Midnight Serenade

Well folks, we have a house. However, as is the case with many things that are good in my life, I am already going well out of my way to sabotage it. The house has three bedrooms, and I really would have liked the master bedroom, but I've already told Ned that he is having it for a variety of awesome reasons, most of which are entirely true. The essence of the matter lies in the fact that the room that I have accepted is quite a bad room, and I don't want Ned to have it. So I took it. I'm just worried it's going to close me off from all the good in the house. I hope not.

My house has taken up a semi-permanent resident in Nell, who has been staying with me ever since I got back. It's been an interesting two weeks, and very educational. It probably wasn't a bad idea to live with her for a couple of weeks while we wait to move in in Wagga, because it gives a precursor for things to come, something that I guess I appreciate. She's a lovely person to live with, and I don't think the next 12 months are going to be particularly challenging.

So what else is new. Unusually, my phone bill is a little outside my ability to pay for a change. The week that I was in perth put me out a little and I'm being challenged to pay the amount that I owe, which is only slightly more than I can handle. Such things happen, and I am now juggling rent once again as well, so it should be an interesting little trip.

Sometimes, when life seems really down, the best you can do to right a situation is smile. I feel a warmth coming over me at the moment, despite the fact that my personal life is a little challenging. Maybe it's a sign for a strong year, maybe I should do a reading and find out. Playing with cards for myself, how interesting. It's been a while, and Tarot is something I don't like to play with unnessisarily, but there is a lot riding on this year, and it might well be prudent.

Wow... I managed to somehow stumble across your blog and although I have not read all of it, I have managed to read entries from here and there. I have to say, you are an incredibly insightful and intelligent person. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts very soon. I understand your blog is not purposefully written to help others, however I think it is only fair I tell you that it does. Thank you for opening my eyes and mind, and good luck with everything. You are an inspiration.

Well, for starters I guess I should say thankyou. The idea that someone would randomly stumble over my journal at all is a little daunting, but the fact that you find it interesting and insightful is intriguing.

I'd be interested in finding out more about you, to be told one is an inspiration is a rare experiance and it would be interesting to see your point of view on the matter. Perhaps I'll see your comments around more often and we can talk, or mabye not, either way, thankyou.
