I'm home!
After a pretty uncomfortable bus ride, lots of bag burn from carrying a huge duffle bag to the bus station and confusion at the park and ride, I eventually got home on Friday! It is so nice to be back in my normal home, with my crazed family and the dog who still hates me. Daryl's stealing my clothes, dad's getting angry at Call of Duty 4 and mum is shaking her head and sighing on the couch. It's good to be back to normality. I must admit that it feels like I haven't been away. The past 3 months have whizzed by. Time does fly when you're having fun.
I got a great present when I got back. My boyfriend sent me my Xmas gift to my home address and I was too impatient to leave it until 25th. He got me the first 2 series of Doctor Who! He knows me so well! I do feel bad that he spent so much money on me - I only got him Heroes series 1 - so I'll need to buy him some New Year chocolate to make it up to him a bit more. And a huge big thanks to my LJ lovelies! Emma, you're a complete darling, I loved my little package (the card made me giggle) and it made my Thursday! Molly, the bookmark is very needed, I seem to have about 3 or 4 books on the go (including my one from Liz which I'm loving so far - but of course I'm loving it, it's Stephen Fry!) so thanks hun! I'm still waiting on a few cards from USA which will probably be in my mail box when I go back to Edinburgh - along with my electricity bill. Oh what a new year present that will be!
I must admit I am a little worried for my family. My grandad is back home and it isn't going well. My gran obviously can't cope with it and won't make an effort to try and cope so she and grandad are tearing at each other's heads. Tonight it got to the point where he phoned my auntie to come and get him so he could get out of the house! I don't know the full story and I'm not sure I want to. I just wish everybody could be grateful for the fact that my grandad is still here, and that we all need to take our time with things. It's still only been about 7 months since he had the aneurysm, you can't expect miracles in that period of time, we've already been luckier than expected. They're all coming over to my house for Xmas dinner and if it all kicks off, I'll be out of there! I'm worried for my grandparents on the economic scale too. They live on a private area and the landlord has been incredibly generous to them but I worry that he may pressurise them for more rent than they can afford. Grandad still isn't working and that's going to take months and they won't have anywhere else to go. Stupid credit crunch. I get so angry thinking about it all, it just isn't fair! It isn't fair that our entire country is going through the shit hole and we're forced to suffer because some rich bastards made too many obvious mistakes! I'm no expert on the issue but I'm already struggling bills wise and can't find a job to help with my pitiful student loan and I want to help my grandparents too but can't! Argh, seasonal cheer is draining, must find it again! *goes to watch Disney film.*
