pain, much

anita and mel and marty are back!!! anne told me she was coming back on the 27th - she even toild her mum to pick her up from the airport on that day - but she was, as usual, mistaken, and they returned on australia day (which rocked, by-the-by: went to auntie carloyne's, where her husband and his band played the beatles, mustang sally, the wiggles (for the little-uns) etc). spoke to mel then, and crashed anne's place on saturday where we watched the princess bride, serenity *tear* and some good ol' hercules (she bought the entire series for $US20 - so jealous!), i heard yet more stories of the trip, and she gave me a marvin the manic depressed robot shot glass!

on friday, backtracking, i walked to rockdale plaza (yes, from my house) to get mary's present, eventually found it, walked back in the sickening midday heat, showered and scampered off the gymea for a job interview. which actually went pretty well, mel. anyway, long story short, my feet hurt like nothing else.

on top of that, yesterday erin and i re-arranged our bedroom. took us about 5 straight hours of hard work - no dawdling, as we had to have everything back in the room by the time dad got back. i succeeded, erin didn't; i have immensely more stuff than her, but she gave up. so, my feet (and back and legs and shoulders) hurt even more. and i need to buy another bookcase. which means going to the salvos. possibly the one at rockdale. i _really_ don't want to walk to rockdale again.

still don't have a job/apprenticeship, but i'm applying everywhere i can, so i guess i just have to wait.

also, my room is still a disaster.
