Achtung Sydney! :D
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
I hit a small bow-wave of "omg nothing is organised!" panic at work today, and was planning to ring up the Pancake place and see if we need to book (I'm thinking we aim for 9.30/10am, then the early-fly-out-ers might be able to make it? Thoughts?) Except what I didn't know is that they have more than one location. Did we intend to hit the original Pancakes on the Rocks out at... the Rocks, or were we intending the Darling Harbour one? People who have done this before need to poke me, please!
I am briefly at home tonight - scabbing dinner from the parents, getting clean clothes (I had to throw out a pair of jeans - noooooooo! I now have two pairs of my dad's old jeans to wear at work and THAT IS ALL - and a bunch of socks this week, so I really did need stuff) and so on - and then I'm back out to work later tonight, and then home again on Thurs for one night before half a day of work and then heading out to Sydney. It's possible I am a TINY BIT STRESSED about all the things I am not prepared for. As well as other stressy stuff going down at the moment. DDD:
And I'm kind of worried about the fact that we haven't seen Missy (our half-wild lives-outdoors cat) since Friday night. Which was, I realised belatedly on Sunday, which was when I started worrying, the day I heard a godalmighty cat fight, ran out and made Zak come in with me, and... she hasn't turned up since. My parents aren't as worried as I am because mum pointed out quite rightly she does just go off and hibernate for a while sometimes, but she hasn't for a while, and she really doesn't go far from the yard these days. One small blessing is that she never goes near the road at all, so that's one less worry. I am not, to clarify, desperately or helplessly upset right now - not like I would be if it was Zak, which makes me feel bad, but I'm still hoping she'll turn up again for breakfast sometime soon. It's just... on my mind. Mrrh. Dear this week, please stop giving me MORE STUFF TO WORRY ABOUT? :/
Although, on the up side, as I just said to Lu, apparently my brain's reaction to stress is DON'T WORRY ZACK WILL FIX EVERYTHING!, because I woke up this morning having spent a good portion of the post-5am part of my sleep (something woke me up then; either there was a loud truck in the chip yard or a possum running on the deck) dreaming about Zack sending coded reports back to Decaydance HQ by way of making rainbow-coloured edible alphabet BEAD NECKLACES and letting people be photographed in them. I can't even, you guys. WHAT. HEEEEEEEEEE.
House-sitting is going pretty well - the internet situation is sufficient to get online when I'm upstairs, it's fantastically QUIET out there, I've been walking a fair bit - I walked up to the vege shop yesterday, which, as the crow flies, really not that far, but when you consider J+S's place is almost the lowest point on the property, and that the vege shop is ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOMBAY HILLS? Owww my calves. The cat continues to be super super happy to see me at all points, and I've finished watching all the HIMYM I had on my external. &HIMYM; (I am kind of annoyed I don't know how to work my camera to make it pick up sunsets properly, though - there was the most glorious solid YELLOWYELLOWYELLOW out the bedroom ranchsliders as the sun was setting yesterday, and it hasn't come visible in the photos at all.)
I hope all of you guys are well, and I shall see you again most likely on Thurs when I am home for a night (J+S are going to be back one night before heading off in a different direction) to pack omg. <3 (Also, aaaaaaaaaaaah new U2 in like two weeks, what the actual fuck.)
