I'm pretty sure today is Sunday. Although I have been getting the days of the week a little bit mixed up, because I haven't really been paying attention to them, and the shows on FOUR are the same Monday through Friday. Wait, today MUST be Sunday, because Top Chef was on. Solved.

Jess ran out of tobacco. Completely and entirely. No tailies, no rollies, no money til Wednesday. Gutted. So Jess has to fill her time with other things. Jess cleaned the rest of the inside windows, and established...

Who am I kidding, I've never worked in an office and never plan to. How boring would that be?

Although currently I have a couple of absolutely awesome ideas that might involve offices. (On a side note, I need to trim my fingernails.)

The first idea was to start an adult institute of sport. Where you can be coached and compete in the sport of your choice, regardless of how old you are when you start. I don't think age should be a barrier to sporting achievement but unfortunately,...

So, my day started early. As in it was still freaking dark, when my neighbour knocks on my door, and keeps knocking until I answer it . . . "got any filters?" . . . NO! And I was ASLEEP! So sick of that neighbour

And then at 9:00am my alarm went off, like it's supposed to, so I let Cheeky out of the laundry and then went back to bed. 20 minutes later, the phone rings, and it was Sam, checking I'd be home cos she got some leave and wanted to visit. So I dragged...

Four years to the day since the start of the Beijing Olympics. I know, I was there. It was awesome, and I'm mildly gutted not to be in London for the London games. I am further gutted that our TV doesn't have reception for the free channel that's playing coverage of the Olympics.

Moved house on the 23rd of July, just got internet and landline connected today. We're still on emergency power, waiting for our GloBug stuff to arrive. GloBug is basically pre-paid power, so we need to make...

So, Linny's food bowl (the one in my room, he also has one in the main house) currently has no food in it because I don't want to open the new bag until I move, on Tuesday. But he's determined - he's currently pushing around the pieces to get to the crumbs he's left around and under the food bowl. I found it kind of funny, his determination. He's like, "fuck you I know there's food here somewhere! I can smell it!"

On the bright side, him clearing up his crumbs now means...

It's raining. It started raining overnight. I know, because I kept waking up, because I was too warm, and then my blankets would feel funny, and I'd realised I'd stripped them back to down by my knees or something of the sort. Also, my goosedown stuffed blanket has seceded from my bed, temporarily, and even without that, I was still too hot! Seriously. It's WINTER here.

Today seems a fair bit cooler than last night and I'm moderately glad. It's been raining pretty much all day, which...

I'm one of those weird people that doesn't have a problem with ants in my room. The thing is, ants come, they pick up your waste, and when there's nothing left, then they fuck off. So, unless they're stealing something tasty that I want, I genuinely have no problem with ants.

Also, recycling doesn't go out until Monday night, so I haven't had a chance to get rid of my empty cans etc. since I got back from hospital. And, also, I move on Tuesday! It's awfully close now, I'm excited....

So I haven't been to community work for about a month. I'm probably going to get a warning for breach sometime soon, but I'm waiting until I've moved to Manurewa (moving next Tuesday) then I'm going to organise with Manurewa probation to do it pretty much full-time and get it out of the way.

I reported in for supervision, it's all good, they guy has changed me to fortnightly reportings - yay, a vote of confidence from somewhere at least.

He asked all the usual questions....

So today was uneventfully eventful.

I didn't do very much in the morning, in the afternoon I went with my mother and elder brother to the place where he was going to sit his restricted license. (In New Zealand we have three main license classes, Learner's - where you must be accompanied by somebody who's been fully licensed for at least 5 years and also display "L" plates; Restricted - where you can drive alone and only between the hours of 5am and 10pm - outside of those...
