Hallelujah - 02.07.14
I just received M's letter and payslips for his job. This satisfies the income requirements for my visa, which was the last thing we were waiting for. I have sent it off to the consulate and am...
Survey - 01.07.14
I pinched this from one of my bookmarks - I can't remember the last time I did one of these. Where were you born? Coffs Harbour, NSW Australia Do you still live there? No way. In fact, I have ...
Sold - 01.07.14
I sold my car today. Sort of. They're coming back tomorrow to pay a deposit, and I will get the rest on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week when I hand over the car. They were just waiting on so...
Falling in a Heap - 30.06.14
I have fallen in a heap today. Quite suddenly, actually. I have been coasting along on a level of mild depression, but today it is all crashing down. I am so angry with M and the fact that I s...
No Sunday Blues for this Kid - 29.06.14
Mostly because I've lost track of the days. Oh, how I loathe myself. Today was a bust. I stayed up to 1am this morning reading, then was rudely awoken by my noisy niece and nephew before 7am. ...
Saturday - 28.06.14
I went out for dinner with friends last night and got drunk. It was great. We had a delicious meal at a Vietnamese restaurant, where I drank a bottle of champagne to myself. Then we wandered o...
Wednesday - 25.06.14
Another day in paradise. My brother is a dickhead and any sympathy I had for him due to his recent surgery has evaporated. If he is able to drive (with one arm in a sling) to go and pick up dru...
Dilemma - 24.06.14
Moral guidance required. Had a phone call from my father today. We just chatted generally and he commented that he hadn't been able to get in contact with my eldest brother. I confirmed that ...
Tuesday - 24.06.14
I'm sitting in my cave right now, which is my bedroom, with a dim lamp in one corner. It's very windy today and despite the sun, it's a bit chilly. I have my heater on low and I am running back...
Monday - 23.06.14
So I went to Nan's house for dinner. It was surprisingly good. She was in high spirits, two of my uncles were there, and we ate take away Chinese. I stayed for three hours and had a nice time....
Sunday - 22.06.14
Yesterday, my siblings and I had to go for a shitty photo shoot. It was the worst thing, because my mother has to force this shit on us, guilt and manipulate us until we give in, the whole thing...
Phew - 20.06.14
Gosh, what a day. Well, it wasn't THAT bad, but it feels like it. This morning I woke to the joyous news that not only was my brother home (still), but mother had decided to take the day off to...
Interesting Development - 19.06.14
Got a letter today from one of those search companies that tell you about some unclaimed money in your name (in my case $216.57) and offering to retrieve it on your behalf for a nominal fee ($75)...
Wednesday - 18.06.14
Things have become dull. The excitement of being able to stay home instead of working has worn off and I have become lazy. I was awake most of the night fighting off the urge to vomit. I hav...
Stingy - 17.06.14
I had a nice hot bath today and shaved my terribly hairy legs and armpits. While I was at it, I decided to shave my lady parts, which I have just been keeping trimmed (waxing has been out of my ...
Monday - 16.06.14
This morning I decided to change the furniture around in my bedroom. I am constantly trying to figure out the best way to arrange it so that I can fit all my crap in here. It never quite works,...
Sunday - 15.06.14
Drove home from Dubbo this morning. I had sort of planned to stay Sunday night as well and drive home on the Monday morning, but I had the uncomfortable feeling that Heslop's crush on me has ret...
Dubbo - 14.06.14
I drove over to Dubbo yesterday to visit my Heslop. It took about 4.5 hours, and was a fine drive until the rain started to bucket down outside of Dunedoo. Luckily, I didn't have that far to dr...
Thursday - 12.06.14
I am starting to lose track of the days and dates - something I always found incredibly frustrating in other people. I could never understand how someone would need to ask what date it was, or w...
Day Two of Unemployment - 11.06.14
My second day of unemployment was a bit dull. Woke up around 7:30am, my brother asked to borrow my phone so he could call in sick to work. Rewind: My brother has been off work for three weeks...
First Official Day of Unemployment - 10.06.14
Well, my first official day of unemployment was today, as yesterday was a public holiday. I'd say it was a success. I woke up at 8am, had some peanut butter on toast while I chopped vegetable...
Monday - 09.06.14
I didn't realise at first, but I had my usual Sunday night depression last night. I had been attributing the slump to the thought of a week of work ahead of me, but perhaps that wasn't right. ...
Frustrated - 08.06.14
As I continue to wait for M to get back to me about my departure date, I can't help but feel stupid, yet again. I've just received a wonderful farewell from my work colleagues, who have (nearly...
Now What? 07.06.14
My first day of unemployment has been successful so far. I woke up around 7am, had a slice of leftover cake for breakfast, and headed to the shops. That took me about 40 minutes, and I am now b...
Officially Jobless - 06.06.14
More to come later. I am super-duper tired and just need to CHILL right now.
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.
