So.
It's been a difficult week.
People have been busy. People have been sick. Katie and I have been busy, sick, stressed and way too emotional for our own good. Somehow, we have remained close, have not snapped at each other over anything. When people ditched us to hang at the Dublin last night and play pool, we still stuck together.
And now she's gone. I am, for lack of a better word, devastated.
That having been said, I'm at Incheon airport about 15 minutes off boarding my flight home. I discovered a disturbing fact today. US and Australian duty free regulations state that one must make one's purchases at least one hour in advance. I missed the cutoff by three minutes, meaning I have to pray like the bejesus that I can get soju or Absolut using the inflight duty-free shopping or several people are missing out on souvenirs. And that makes me a sad kangaroo.
It has been a really, really difficult week. I hope this coming week is better. If this week is not better, I'm hoping the following weeks while travelling are better. And if not, I'm hoping my new job will make life better. I don't know. I'm running out of patience with bad luck, karma - whatever you want to call it.
Oh man. Maybe I just need to sleep and then I will feel better.
In other news, my hair and nails got done on Thursday night. After I finally washed my hair this morning Joy was the greatest friend I could ask for and straightened my unruly mane so I look all pretty and stuff... for the flight, if not to see my Mum and Emma in the morning. And my brother if he surfaces before I have a shower. And my mum's boyfriend. Pity I can't straighten it again Monday morning cos that would look wicked in photos.
SNEAKYE - less than 18 hours til Maxes and a good gossipy catchup session!!
