How we live now

On the way to breakfast this morning the whole breakfast crew happened to be on the same train on the same car going in. So we all walked together. It was my pick so we went to this trendy cafe down an alley off queen street where they serve craft beer after ten.

Jem and I mowed the lawn and lost the lawnmower gas cap over the weekend. While I did that he pruned the lime, not fully but enough to take some of the most egregious out of it. It's still got a bit of fruit from last season and is already starting to bloom again.

Spring is coming. You can feel it, but it's still so dark and cold each morning that getting up is like a daily struggle.

I levelled last week in Pokemon there was a double everything event on and I played like a fiend, plus got an amazing legendary of both kinds.

My new income requires budgeting. We figured out it's less than the dole. If course I don't have bills which assists in all that but still. It's so easy to forget how to live without tons of money. I used to rule at it, but you forget and it's such a luxury not to think about it. In Brisbane it's all about having more meals at home.

I have a date night movie with Jeremy tonight, we're going to see Magnus, the Scandinavian film about Magnus Carlson. I'm pretty excited. We saw Dunkirk and Gold for Jeremy over the weekend.

Nick and Kimmi are leaving town on like the 14th. We're giving them a going away party on the 12th. That's like two weeks away and then they will just be gone. I feel longing about that but it doesn't seem real.

Jules has invited me to a cider night Friday, and we have the lan party Wed as always, and I have dreams about working through some projects and pruning the rest of that tree.

I'm lonely, but I don't really want to see anyone.

I bought external batteries and jean shorts last week.

My school contacted me about the letter I need to send back as far as what I'm doing next year. For now I'm stalling but not for long.

Today is about my diary and letters from Joanna and walking the streets and Pokemon, I plan to stay out straight to the evening. Tomorrow should be cleaning the house and then we'll see.
