The Dreaded Saturday in Your Face

I have survived Saturday thus far.

I was up around 4:30am to briefly talk with M. Dozed on and off until around 8:30am or 9:00am. The money I had sent to M's travel card had posted through to night and I transferred it to US dollars so he could use it. Thank goodness. He's still behind on cash as he had to pay $192 to Verizon for his old phone account from 2011 not being closed for some reason, but they discounted it from almost $500, so we can't complain too much. It just means he has $192 less in his budget which is sucky. I will send $300 to him every week when I get paid, and more if he needs it. I doubt he will need more, though. Even though he is a bit behind, he has everything he needs on a day to day basis, and now has his phone. He is very skilled at living cheap when he has to, so if he is extra careful for a few weeks he will be caught up again.

So I went to Charlestown to see if Telstra could get the internet working on my phone. They couldn't, and I have to call the "fault line" to seek help. I need to be able to use my phone while talking to them, so I think I will call them from work. Dropped in to see my eldest brother at his store. Not much going on there, but he asked a few questions about my move. I have generally been irritated at answering the same 2,000 questions every day since announcing I was leaving, but my eldest brother is so quiet and sweet I didn't mind going over it again. He doesn't talk much, so for him to be asking, I know he really did want to know.

Came home again, watched DVDs practically all day while knitting. Did 3 loads of laundry, put fresh sheets on the bed. I have to hang up a bunch of stuff in the closet yet, it's thrown on my bed.

Having a clean up again. Last weekend I had to throw a bunch of stuff in here to give my brother some space, and I have been jam packed ever since. I am packing a few more things, making a mental note of what order I need to ship the boxes, and which ones need to go by air and which by sea.

I guess that's it. I have been stuffing food down my throat all day out of boredom, so maybe I won't need dinner. Who knows.
