(no subject)
Thank you to everyone who left well-wishes about my dad. Things are looking up at the moment; he is still sans leg (obviously) but his attitude is a lot more upbeat than I was expecting. I am really hoping that despite his awful track record, this really will be the turning point in his life where things change for the good. I was honestly expecting him to just disappear into depression. This could still happen, especially once he is back home, but at least he's positive for the time being.
It's been a very stressful week. Besides from dad, I've had a lot happening with work and I just feel like I could be doing better than I am. It appears I'm the only one with this thought, as my boss recently spent a lot of money on a gourmet hamper for all of my effort, but I really think that there are some things I'm slipping up on that I should be picking up. My car also got broken into the other night. There was no damage, and they were the worst theives in the world (who steals a street directory, log book and three bags full of crap that was going to get tossed anyway?!) but it's more the fact that someone could be so brazen - my car was parked less than a metre from my front door.
Speaking of the car, I am currently debating what to do about it when I go overseas next year. I'll still be paying off my loan while I'm over there and it doesn't make sense to pay $260 a month on something I'm not going to be using (and will continue depreciating in value). As the actual length of my trip isn't concrete (anywhere between 6 months and a year) it's hard to decide what to do. I don't want to sell it, be gone for only 6 months, then come back home only to have to find a new car as well as a job and place to live. Hmm....
I've just baked cupcakes for my local barista's birthday. Of course they're coffee-flavoured; though I'm a little apprehensive I may have overdone it on the coffee. Ah well, they'll definitely keep the caffeine levels up!
