Well obviously after I went home yesterday I thought of a million things I'd wanted to write - blah.
My Gran is now on anti-depressants which is good because she is not hallucinating anymore. Mum thinks there is something physically wrong with her causing it because is all started pretty suddenly.
We're going to spend Christmas with my beloved Mutti after all as she is working nightshift until christmas eve and will be out of bed by dinner time. I also noticed today when I came in that she had "decorated" the house - there is some tinsel on the bannister and some silver sticks in a vase on the firplace. I shouldn't complain as it's a damn sight more than I've done - i.e. nothing.
There was also the 'chilli incident' that I should probably report on. Basically I did not realise the pain that 'medium' green chillis can cause and enthousiastically got stuck in to making my own thai green curry paste stuff. Anyway the end result involved me not being able to sllep because of the burning pain of my hands. I was later informed by mum that it is acid that causes this reaction which probably why it started to feel a bit better after I applied some baking powder to it (please note that it was 5am and I was starting to get a bit desperate). So there is a lesson to be learned in all of this - buy food ready made in jars, it's much easier and less painful. Mind you thecurry paste stuff was actually a great sucess.
Speaking of things ready made, I must remember to buy a tin opener as the one in the house is pretty shadey and doesn't actually work... not that I eat much out of tins anyway but for things like tomato puree and coconut milk (yes I do know I'm a bit obsessed with thai food lately). Also I bought some chips last week - this is the first time I've had chips since I moved out - I think that's quite amazing.
I'm going to see my Vati later today - along with the usual mob (i.e. Cara, Teresa and Ava who will also be there). I may also use the opportunity to steal some tapes and computer games off my Dad. I actually got round to connecting the playstation to the tv so I've been playing a good bit of Parasite Eve 2 (and basically scaring myself stupid in the process - it's not even scary, I'm just pathetic.
Also I havn't been sleeping at all lately. I't not that I'm worried or have things on my mind - it's judst that I'm too hyper and have too much energy. I tried reading before going to bed but unfortunately I decied to read '...And That's When It Fell Off In My Hand' - a Georgia Nicolson book. I got to the bit that said "Rosie says she has an uncle in Yorkshire who eats cow udder for a treat. That can't be true, can it?" when I decided it really wasn't going to work. Personally I blame eating so much sugar and watching comedy tv shows and videos with Mr. Williams in them before going to bed, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop.
