Slept terribly last night, and this morning was a real struggle to get my ass out of bed and ready for work. Once again, I am very thankful that I am able to dress casually at all offices, so it...

I had a pretty productive day with Tracy yesterday, to a point. I really could have gotten more done, but I was slumping. I’m pleased with what I did get done, because I’ve been feeling like I’...

---

No more sightings of weirdo old man around my apartment complex. So, it seems that once I had agreed to work more hours for #4, the floodgates opened. I had been able to firmly say that I will...

I have it on good authority that deadbeat brother is an ice addict again. Mother continues to make excuses for him and not accept the truth. I am not going through this again. And she might b...

---

Feeling slightly better today - my cold symptoms are slowly receding. Back at Solicitor #1’s office - she is still away and I am feeling overwhelmed by the absolute mountain of scanning and shred...

---

I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning. It was very, very difficult. Granted, it was 4:30am, and I think that’s an absurd hour to have to get out of bed. Absurd. But, one bathroom and ...

---

Anxiety has settled somewhat, and it’s only periodic little bouts. Continuing to try and talk myself down and it is somewhat successful. M surprised me by ordering a copy The Neverending Story...

---

While I am sitting in front of a computer, and not my stupid phone, here is an update. I forget where we were up to, so pardon me if I repeat myself. We are moved into our apartment, at last. I ...

My last day of work, for the second time around, was uneventful. I only had a handful of things to do, and my eyes are still struggling to adjust to my new glasses. I had a laksa for lunch with...

---

Today disappeared out from under me. I woke at 7am, and felt as though I was hungover, which was impossible.. I lazed around most of the morning, had breakfast, did one load of laundry, had a sh...

---

This morning I woke and got myself dressed and ready to get the bus to the dentist. I put some beef ribs and potatoes in the slow cooker, planning to shred the meat for sandwiches for dinner. I ...

---

I am buggered today. Not sure what has tipped me over the edge, but I am aching all over. I’m definitely short on sleep this week, and spending about two hours on buses to get to and from work....

---

I had a better day today. It was raining this morning and I wasn’t looking forward to standing at the bus stop. It’s crap enough that I’m on a busy highway and I feel like people are staring at...

---

Single digits now - woah. I actually had a crappy day. I felt weird, my eyes couldn’t focus, knees and hips aching. I took a punt on a random bus (I have to get two or three depending on the ti...

---

My neighbour’s mother died today. I’m pretty sad about it, even though she was 91 and had been progressively ill over the last month, AND she was in the hospice. I should have been able to prep...

---

After my last entry, I bounced back pretty quickly. I had a really nice dinner with my Heslop and two of our friends. We pigged out, majorly. Not much else of note, except I am back from Dubb...

---

I am in Dubbo, visiting my Heslop. We are having a good time. I felt really great today, just happy and calm. Today I feel agitated and cranky with M, mostly after a conversation with a friend ...

---

My flight from LAX to Albuquerque is booked. M has already planned where we can go to eat after he picks me up, if I am hungry. My passport and documents arrived today. This morning I saw my GP a...

---

Still in a state of shock over the surprise approval. I had a split second today where I thought my passport and immigration documents were in the mailbox, but it was only a big wad of junk mail...

---

For those who don’t already know, my green card has been approved. Here is how it went down: Mother was working in Sydney today and offered me a lift. I had planned on taking the train, but acc...

---

I have been diagnosed with Graves Disease. My doctor and the specialist both seemed quite panicked about the whole thing, but I don’t really understand why. Nothing I read about it indicates th...

---

My day disappeared on me today. Had a cuppa with my neighbour in the morning, then drove my brother to his physio appointment, ducked over the hill to my own doctor’s appointment, back over the h...

---

Here’s an entry that I hand wrote today.

---

I sold my car this morning. What a relief. I am now driving my brother’s car to and from work, but I really don’t like it, so I’ll use my legs and public transport for anything else I want to d...
