Finally - 05.09.14
I got my visa appointment notice today! Tuesday the 16th, along with a small list of things to bring to the interview. Before you say, “Haven’t you already given them enough!”, hear me out. It...
Darn. 04.09.14
I feel really shitty tonight. Depressed and flat. I want to cry, to be honest. No real reason, it’s just a down day for me. I went to the post office, it was just M’s form. So, no closer and...
Wednesday - 03.09.14
I have so many entries to read. The weekends are when I do most of my catching up, so for those I have missed, please continue to wait patiently. I received a note from the post office today say...
Monday - 01.09.14
Well, it’s September. The start of each new month makes me feel awful, because we’re still apart. 13 months tomorrow. Nothing in the mailbox from the visa office. I emailed them today, not rea...
Sunday - 31.08.14
I went to SpecSavers today to order a new pair of reading glasses. As their ads said, it was cheaper to order two new pairs. I picked two really cheap frames, opted to pay extra for the anti-gl...
Saturday - 30.08.14
I have found a flat spot on the back of each shoulder. It might be the case that I am losing some more weight, as I tend to find “flat” spots like that, where the fat melts away in weird places ...
Groundhog Day - 29.08.14
Nothing in the mailbox from the visa office. I am starting to feel like I’m in the movie, Groundhog Day. Remember how he keeps screwing things up, being an asshole, and so he has to keep repla...
Friday - 29.08.14
I probably shouldn’t title this entry “Friday”, as it has barely begun. I was awake at 5am, so I am getting an early start here. Nothing from the visa office, but I am taking it as positive. Th...
Wednesday - 27.08.14
Today was slightly better, in that the minutes didn’t drag quite so badly. Still feeling like I am wasting my life by simply wishing each day to be gone. No news from the visa office, so I check...
Crapola - 26.06.14
No word from the visa office today, so the wait spills over another day. The woman doesn’t want to buy my car because it was once written off, then repaired and re-registered. That’s a fair call...
Monday - 25-08.14
An extremely dull day at work today. Only nine more to go. Another woman looked at my car today. Blah, blah, blah, I hope she buys it. My documents would have reached the US Consulate today. I...
Sunday - 24.08.14
Six different people asking about my car this weekend, one test drove today, three are in Sydney. The girl from last week will be here on Wednesday or Thursday, if the car doesn't sell before. ...
Saturday - 23.08.14
Dinner with my friends last night was nice. I stayed at my sister's house, slept on the couch. Actually, I passed out just after 10pm, I was so tired. The girl that wants to buy my car wants ...
22 August 2014
The visa office requested some more information, which I have sent off today. No point sending it express mail, when it will get to Sydney tomorrow anyway. Pretty sure I will get an email next ...
Advice, Please - 20.08.14
So I got an offer on my car. It's $700 less than my listing price, but let's be honest, I would have let them beat me down $400 on it, so it's $300 less than what I would really want to get for ...
Wednesday - 20.08.14
I had dinner with my friend tonight. He loved the dorky gift I got him (travel mug that looks like a camera lens - he's a photographer). We shared cornbread and ordered meals. Talked shit for ...
Temp - 19.08.14
So, I've been temping at my old job. Doing the same old shit. Getting pestered every five minutes by the new me, who clearly still has no fucking idea and no ability to retain information, desp...
Bummer - 17.08.14
Not much happened this weekend. Saturday I did next to nothing, my sister called me in the evening and I went to her house to watch a movie. Sunday (today) I did next to nothing, aside from lau...
Meanie - 16.08.14
Two of my friends regularly make comments on Facebook about missing their partners, who do fly-in-fly-out work. My friend in Santa Fe is interstate for two days and his parter is posting soppy "...
Thursday - 14.08.14
I have so many entries to catch up on, it's overwhelming. I had a terrible afternoon, the kind where everything goes wrong. All the little things, and it starts to feel like dominoes have bee...
Clarification - 14.08.14
Maybe I need to clarify, or maybe I am thinking too much about this, but I have a few more things to say about the previous entry. Firstly, I don’t mind someone responding to something I said th...
Upset - 14.08.14
Wow, this exchange has really upset me. Me and my big mouth. Excuse me while I fall into a pit of self-loathing. | Diana of the hunt ⋅ 7 hours ago I was going to contribute to your gofundme, ...
Still - 13.08.14
Update on my idiot brother: COULDN'T go to work for three hours today because his arm hurt too much. COULD go go-karting for two hours. Is now absolutely bellowing at mother while he regales h...
Bad - 12.08.14
Today was a bad day. Robin Williams is dead, and I am very upset about it. For several reasons, really. Firstly, he was hilarious. Secondly, he was huge in the 90's, when I was growing up, ...
Foghorn - 11.08.14
So sick of my brother and his foghorn voice. Ranting and raving about how his work hasn't been paying him properly since he injured himself. Fact: He was required to complete light duties, and...
Book Description
This story is about my life with M.
M and I met on another online diary site in around 2006. He was in New York, USA and I was in New South Wales, Australia. We formed a friendship and spoke nearly every day, whether online or on the phone.
Towards the end of 2008, we realised that we had become more than just friends, and we made plans for me to travel to the US in 2009. So I did.
We spent 6 months in New York, before moving to New Mexico. We got married in New Mexico and I had to return to Australia shortly after.
M followed me to Australia over 4 months later, in mid-2010.
M has now returned to the US, and I will be following him in October 2013. We are going back to New Mexico, where we have a friend to live with at first and a storage unit full of our stuff. We plan to head back to New York to settle within a few years.
