believe in me

I am so lazy when I am cat sitting for my sister. There is always an abundance of dirty dishes and general debris scattered throughout the house. But the cats don't judge me and I always have it tidy for when I leave. No one has to know.

My Aunty Brownie appears to be on her last legs. They suspect cancer, which is unsurprising for my family, and once the diagnosis is confirmed they think she'll fade pretty quickly. I'm a little ashamed of my lack of emotion about this news, but I've never been much of an extended family person, she's in her seventies and will now be the sixth aunt to die (plus many other relatives) so it's mostly going through the motions. I'm just trying to be there for mum to make sure she is okay.

I can't believe I leave in under five weeks. On one hand I feel confident and completely prepared, on the other hand I feel like time is going by far too quickly. I celebrated today by watching PS I Love You. I ignored the fact he died and focussed on the scenario of finding love overseas. Oh tv, why do you give me such false hope?

Lisa is finally enjoying herself on her European trip. For a while she was hating it and it wasn't the best confidence booster. She's socially awkward like me (though her awkwardness causes her to be the silent type whereas I freak everyone out with my explicit weirdness) and I really don't want to get three days into my trip and realise I'm not cut out for the adventure lifestyle.

However, I am refusing to bow to these insecurities. Everything is planned, I am determined to have a good time no matter what. I'm not wasting over ten grand to be miserable.

ramble, pensive, trip
