I'm fighting this cold for one more day, tomorrow I have a day off work, and I can collapse in bed with all my textbooks and write my essay there. sure it's not ideal but it's what I have right now.
You know what my new favourite thing to do at work when on the phone is? Look at houses! I have to pay at least some attention when on the phone (I'm not talking, but I take notes on what the doctors say to each other), so can't do anything too engaging like read a book or write my essay. Instead I look at houses. I go to Domain.com.au and punch in the right price range and bedrooms and look around the inner north and west and I've come to the conclusion that very few people have good colour sense. Also that I have rather eclectic taste since I like this house (and I'm not quite sure why, and think it's too far out), and this house, which is completely different (and without a price, which means probably very much out of our price range, even in five years, this one is also nice and this house, which is completely different again (and needs some serious redoing in the kitchen at least).
I've always liked looking at houses, and now I have a (very thin) excuse to do so. Still, hopefully that means by the time we're actually ready to buy I'm an expert! Seriously, anyone looking to move, renting or buying, let me know because I'm happy to do the online browsing.
Have finally tracked down what went wrong with my pay, and am now definitely being paid on Friday. I guess in a way it's good, it gives me less time in between pay cycles and hopefully more to save, and at least being paid on Friday means I can go bra shopping in the morning on Saturday, as I'm quickly becoming accustomed to this feeling comfortable and not-squished thing. :-) Yay, bright side!
