Happy Happy Happy!
This quote keeps coming back to me: Happiness writes white.
It's not that I have nothing to write about, it's almost the opposite. I have too much to tell and not enough time or patience to tell it. So once again, this will be a dot point post. Because I'm lazy and have a huge list of washing to do (washing the laundry, vacuuming/washing the car, washing the dog, washing myself... etc.).
- Ms blu leaving was quite hard on me, I slept the entire day after sending her to the airport in order to avoid feelings of sadness and loneliness and panic, but then the next day I remembered that the best way to overcome depression is to just DO stuff... so stuff I started to do.
- I haz new room. Or at least, it feels like it. All of last year, I hated being in my room. I hated the cramped, stuffiness of it all, and I hated the loneliness of it, the darkness of it, the mess of it. I didn't feel the slightest bit like cleaning or organising because I was wallowing. It's so amazing how many memories a room holds and how hard it is to (not let got but to) move on from those memories and stop letting them haunt you.
Anyway, amidst all the other refurnishing that has been happening around the house (mainly the study) and what with the Big Sis buying (me) a whole heap of new furniture (new bookshelf, new desk), I finally undertook the task of re-establishing my happiness into my room. And it has become a glorious, beautiful new space full of light and life and welcoming warmth. I love it. So much! It's so neat and dust-free and ordered and LOVED. Yes, I have discovered that it is important to love one's own room. Of course, it was hard work. Love is always hard work. There was lots of sweat and sneezing and lots of frustration and lots of lingering affection for things I did not want to throw out but kinda knew I needed to. I've always known this, but I haz a lot of stuff!
So now my room, although far from being minimalist and zen, is a much clearer, open, bright space.
Perhaps it was a lazy year, last year. Or perhaps it was that I wanted to wallow in darkness. Or perhaps it was just that I didn't feel the need to change the state of my room when no one was going to see it anyway.. That has all changed now :D
- I went for an awesome bike ride with Ms Catdog up at Bright. It wasn't a very long ride, but it sure was a beautiful, relaxing day-trip away from the city and the noise. It got me back on my bike (and I've been on two more rides since - which isn't much, but is much more than I did ALL of last year) so, thank you Ms Catdog, for such an inspiring day. We had a lot of laughs, a few (car) problems that we got through, eventually, with neither of us having any idea about cars... and we got a whole lotta sun and sweat, which is important ;)
- I haz new job!!! Which is probably the best news since Ms Red told me she had booked her flights down to Melbourne. Sure, it's not terribly exciting work but it's a constant part-time role right in the middle of the city and flexible around my uni timetable. And it's daytime work. It will be so great not to have to work nights. I will be in a fancy office with an amazing view, wearing corporate dress and most importantly MAKING MONEY!
I thought I did terribly in the interview, I came home so flat because I really wanted the job. I hate job-hunting and I hate the not making money part of being on holidays.
- Ms Red arrives tomorrow morning and we will be spending one glorious week in St Kilda together!!!
*sigh*
So, all good newses! I am so happy happy happy :D

Lol, lingering affection. <3
Also, your use of "haz" amuses me.
Have fun with Ms Red! :)
