10:39pm: OK, I don't actually have a good subject heading for this post, my mother and I have just finished watching our shows, which means I should be getting ready for bed, but I figured I'd post a little update before heading off.

Not much to report, although apparently after a few days of been mostly warm, it's going to be cold and rainy tomorrow and into the weekend, which kinda sucks. I hope it isn't raining on Sunday for archery, as mentioned they apparently only cancel if there's lightning, but I can't really imagine been able to shoot a bow with any accuracy whatsoever with rain pouring on my glasses.

In other news, we've got training tomorrow morning, which sucks, firstly because, training is always a drag, often you get told shit you already know and then you have to roleplay situations an it's all awkward. Secondly, that's 3.5 hours away from my actual work tasks, such as the Inter Library Loans and QC-ing the new items. We're falling behind on the latter again and this training won't help. On the plus side it is only down the road from my apartment, so at least I don't have to go far.

Finally, I did do a Sims 4 session, but ended up not saving because poor Gardner Shea is not having the best honeymoon, I sent him and Lady to the jungle, but he keeps getting attacked by various creatures. When I left the game he was on fire! o.O I hope the game's not trying to kill him off, because seriously, the audacity.

On that note, I better be off, hopefully I might have a more interesting update tomorrow. Good night!

10:16pm: Well, that time o' the month brings a whole hot of issues to my person...firstly my knees hurt, which is very annoying, but at least they didn't hurt until after I finished up at the gym.

Secondly, I've got a sore right thumb, I have no idea what the deal with this is...every so often I'll get this soreness, which don't seem to be related to the joint, I went to see a doctor about this issue a couple of years back, but they weren't able to tell me what the deal was, except it's not arthritis. Which is good news.

Thirdly, my left QL muscle is still sore :O( I've tried using the little sports ball thing I got to try and lessen the tension in the muscle, but not much joy there.

So yeah, that really sucks, and it's rather difficult to type this entry with the sore thumb and there certainly hasn't been any fiction writing going on.

I should take some ibuprofen for this rather than complaining I suppose. I sure hope I feel less aching tomorrow though, I certainly don't need these sheninigans!

In other news they've changed the graphics for ABC News, they're all...streamline-y? And website-lie and brought back the old intro music, very strange.

Right, so short entry syndrome strikes again, and I don't feel up to doing the memes, so, yeeeeah.

Wish me a good night's sleep!

10:53pm: To always wear our seatbelt, because some petty crook just got himself killed because he crashed his car, wasn't wearing his and ended up going through the windshield. I still don't get how you can drive without a seatbelt on, how do you not slide off the seat when you have to break suddenly?

Moving on from automobile safety or lack thereof, I discovered that I didn't have work today after all, fortunately I realised this before I went there. Although I should have gone to Mona Vale today to buy a new heater for the fish tank, when I got home from Mum and Dad's this morning I discovered the temperature on the fish tank was reading well under 19 degrees. Fishenko's still swimming about, but I do worry about him.

I didn't get a chance to go shopping at all today, though I meant to after going to the gym this afternoon, however I oh so unhelpfully forgot to bring my backpack with me and thus didn't have my wallet. Do'h fail. Oh well, at least still had my homemade pizza left so I had something for dinner at least. However...I don't actually have anything for breakfast tomorrow, I discovered when I got home that my milk went off several days ago (maybe that's why I've had stomach pain the last few days...) and yeah it was getting quite cold when I got home from the gym so I didn't go down to the service station to get it.

Ugh, crap I'm trying to do my Russian but there's a phrase I'm really stuck on...and I'm running out of time, I need to get to sleep soon because I have to get to work with Mrs S fifteen minutes earlier than usual tomorrow so that means getting up earlier.

So yeah, I gotta wrap this up, LOL story of my life. :OP

Goodnight all!

11:28pm: Aussie Style! Yeah! I do forget that it's on but I managed to remember it today and it's pretty hilarious. I do love me some good improv and all the best games are there...Scenes from a Hat, that one where you have to change the last thing you said...I even saw the one with the three dates a few weeks back. I've yet to see News Anchors, though I hope that comes up soon! Although they put it on so late I'm not sure if it's actually getting a lot of viewers, which means it might get cancelled, to which I say boo.

Anyway it just finished so I switched over to 9Life for my house show and the show before was still on and damn this guy on it looks a lot like Biff Tannen, it's rather creepy to be honest.

Moving along, I've had abdominal discomfort all damn day, checking my app I think the middle of my cycle is coming up, not the ovulation pain again! Because that's just a pain in the...ovary :OP I also had a headache this morning, but two paracetamol helped wit that, I don't think I got quite enough sleep though, so better make sure not to do that tonight.

Not much to report, except that I didn't finish the library book that's overdue and on hold, do'h! I actually drove to the library this evening hoping I could finish it and return it, but nope it was going to take too long and was it was getting dark, not to mention the library had already closed by that point. So I'll have to do it tomorrow morning before head over to M and Grandpa's for Canasta and lunch.

But oh I forgot to mention, I found my Marge Simpson glass last night, it was next to the sink the whole time! I have no idea how I missed seeing it! I need to get my eyes checked!

Right, before I wrap this up let's have another Meme:

Sunday Stealing

:The Cannon Fodder Questions:

1. Is there someone you'd like to be kissing right now? Nope.

2. When you're being extremely quiet, what does it mean? I'm either really upset, nervous or just gone to sleep (but I talk in my sleep apparently so that may not last for long! :OP)

3. What are you listening to right now? House Hunters International good times, good times.

4. Are you a big fan of thunderstorms? Not really, thunder scares me.

5. Do you believe in perfect? Like a perfect day? Or a perfect person? Yes to the former, no to the latter (unless we're talking about Jesus or something). But hey not everything has to be perfect.

6. Are you a jealous person? I don't think so? I have no idea to be honest! I've never had a relationship.

7. What was the first thing you thought this morning? "Man, that was a weird dream..." I've kind of forgotten what it was now though, I think I was at Plushy's new skating school though!

8. What do you think about when you are falling asleep? Nothing much...probably just that I have good dreams!

9. Are you satisfied with what you have in life? Eh...pretty much, although I could use more hours at the library. Why is the employment market so unkind.

10. Do people ever think that you're either older or younger than you actually are? Ha, ha, younger, all the time younger! I don't wear make-up so I guess I look pretty young. Although people have stopped asking if I've just finished high school, now I get what uni course are you studying, LOL.

11. Do you think men truly understand women? Eh, dunno, but do women truly understand men? :OP Or anyone truly understand anyone?

12. How about women understanding men? Oops, pre-empted this question, but see above.

13. Did anybody ever call you handsome or beautiful? Nope, I have been told I'm pretty though.

14. What is one fact about the last person that called you? Uh...she's my boss.

15. Other than your current one, tell us about the longest relationship you have had either a romance or a particular good friend. When I was a kid in Dubbo, I had one best friend, we got on super well and I was so happy to have one good friend (I had others, but as a general rule I have trouble making friends) and it sucked when my family and I moved to Sydney. We eventually lost touch, but I still remember the good times.

Okedoke, time to hit the hay, although I've got one last musing about the current ad I'm watching - it's about a doorbell and camera system that works through wi-fi so you can see who's at the door from postmen to burgulars, but...why would a burgular ringt the doorbell?! Or does the camera just send video whenever anyone gets near to your house? Sounds annoying...

Your thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. :OP

For now, goodnight!

11:24pm: On this house show my mother and I are watching right now. Seriously, the house had water damage, ants and somehow they messed up heir measurements and now the door won't fit. Major Fail.

Anywho, in other news it was another mad day at the library today but with four of us on today we finally caught up on everything, phew! But man, we should have put a count on the number of books we had because it has to be a record! And they said libraries would become obsolete after the internet became popular. Clearly not.

Aside from that not a lot else to report, gee, I'm not a very interesting person I am? at least not on Sundays LOL. But it is late so it's probably a good thing I've got short-entry syndrome.

I'm reminded though I haven't done any memes in aaaaages, I gotta get back onto that.

For now though, I'm off, I'm at the parental abode and Mum's heading off to bed so I should probably do so as well.

I say, goodnight!

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room Entry Length

11:03pm: Regarding playing Russian Roulette with the parking lot across from the Library. It's got a one hour limit, but I have at various times - usually the weekend parked there for my shift - which is four hours.

And today I finally got a ticket, fuuuck. It was even more my own fault than usual because I only parked there because I was running late and thus didn't have time to park in the normal place where there's no time limit.

Although, the cost of a parking ticket seems to have gone down since the last time I got one years and years ago, back then it was 80 bucks! This one was $66 but with the 25% discount for paying it right away it went down to $49.50. Still that's like two hours of work. Shit.

Anyway! Now I don't have a cruise to recount any more I'm not sure what else to say! Except did I ever mention that I found my anti-chafing stick thing? Turned out it didn't fall out of my bag in the parking lot near the psychiatrist's office, instead it fell out here in my bedroom! So when I was unpacking two weeks ago, I found it! Hooray!

So, I need to get to bed but I'm caught up in I Shouldn't Be Alive, I really want to know how the guy gets himself out of this, he's trapped under a quad bike and coyotes are coming for him. O.o Luckily, he seems able to scare them away, but he's been out there for like 3 days.

Quad bikes suck.

But not much else to report, I did do some cleaning and ironing today so the place should be ready for Mum's inspection tomorrow afternoon. :OP Meanwhile, I'm still waiting to hear if I'm going to get together with some friends tomorrow evening. I hope so because one of them is going back overseas on Thursday, this will be my last chance to see her for a long time.

And now on that note I must go!

Goodnight all.

10:59pm: Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners, which is a very odd show where one obsessive cleaner goes to a the house of a super messy person's place and teaches them how to clean - which is apparently supposed to help them not be so obsessive in their own cleaning. I'm not actually sure that's an approved method...I guess as long as they don't end up making other people obsessive, because the guy that's on right now takes four hours to wash his dishes!

Anyway, time is getting on so I better get a move on! First up, I finally go the Chou Chou Train video in a sharable format. Man, that was quite the drama...no idea why it wasn't working yesterday, I did end up having to turn off and turn on my laptop so maybe that was the issue. Anyway there you go 7 seconds, LOL.

( Happy Birthday to Dad! )

Right, I think I'll have to leave Dad's Birthday Dinner to tomorrow! It's almost midnight and I've work in the morning. It was quite an evening so I want to give it the attention it deserves.

For now, goodnight!

11:28pm: Well, at least in this documentary Death Row Stories where they seem to be sentencing people to death on the flimsinest of evidence. Like, seriously? Although the other week I found out that even if someone admits they lied their ass off on the stand if the trial was "fair" they won't give you a retrial. If this is true, fuck the law, man. Someone just admitted to lying so how was the trial "fair"? Beats me. I sure hope I never end up getting screwed over by some bad cops and over the top prosecutors. I wonder do any of these prosecutors ever wind up in jail themselves for being bullshitters?

Anyway, moving on, my brain is frazzled today and I didn't get nearly enough cleaning, which is no good for me because my mother is coming over tomorrow and I really should have it looking right...it's not like I haven't had enough notice of this.

But I blame biology, it's that time o' the month as well as being damn hot, I'm a bit worried actually as it's supposed to even hotter tomorrow! I've got my air-con, but I'm not sure if it's strong enough to keep me cool tomorrow...On the other hand the big bro and his family arrive this Sunday morning so I'm not supposed to spend time the night over at the parental units's.

Which actually brings me to something that's got me down, with the big bro, his wife and their baby staying with my parents for Christmas there's no room for me to stay over on Christmas Eve as usual! That means waking up Christmas morning with no-one to say Merry Christmas to except Plushenko the fish (sorry Plushenko, but you can't talk back :OP) I mean technically I could stay on my parents' couch, but er...that'd be six people in the house way too crowded. Of course Mum said I can just come over Christmas morning ASAP, but I dunno, I'm considering seeing if M and Grandpa will have me stay over. Tell me, am I lame or not for not wanting to wake up all by myself on Christmas morning?

Right, it's almost midnight so it's time for me to wrap this up and hit the hay!

Goodnight all, wish me luck tomorrow with finishing my cleaning!

11:35pm: When you're at a friend's house! Well, maybe I could have, but I lost track of time and I had to go to bed before I got the chance.

Anywho! It was great to hang out with my friend again! We watched the new Ghostbusters movie, which I really enjoyed! I tend to think the fanboys who were complaining about it are being a bit precious, but I suppose if they made a BTTF reboot I'd probably be bitching a bit too. But eh, it was still a good movie!

My friend was a very good hostess indeed. :O) She made a delicious dinner and had ice creams in the freezer for desert. Good times! Plus the house is big so I had a proper bed to sleep in, so that was cool.

In the morning she showed me some US TV shows that I'd heard of, but never watched, Samantha Bee and John Oliver. Very amusing! Although, you have to wonder what will happen after the US Election...depending on the result there good be a whole lot of screaming and running around in horror!

And just looking at the time I can see the dreaded Duolingo practice has eaten into my post time! Honestly me!

Ah well, suffice to say after watching the TV shows with my friend, we took a quick walk around the neighbourhood and then had an even quicker lunch before heading off to Mona Vale so I could go to walk and my friend could do some shopping.

Work went very well! It was a miracle I found a parking spot because the yearly markets were on today, which also meant a huge number of books had been returned in the after-hours chute. It must have taken a good two hours to clear and check-in everything that was in there! But we managed it. I do enjoy returning books.

And...I've just remembered I totally need to apply for that one day a week job in the Local History part of Dee Why Library! Don't want to miss out on that chance.

But for now, I must get my butt to bed!

Goodnight all!

Hunger Comfort Hygiene Energy Fun Social Bladder Room TV Shows

10:39pm: So today was the interview and I have to say...I don't think I did so well. Obviously I didn't prepare enough for it, because they were the same sort of questions I've had at such interviews before, but that didn't stop me from basically "uming" and "uhing" my whole way through. They told me to expect an answer back in about two weeks, but like I said I don't hold out a lot of hope. Damn shame because it's actually a full-time job with weekday hours so I'd be like a proper employed person.

In other news before I headed out to the interview the landlord came by to give me a letter and check that the smoke alarm was working, which it was. I also showed him the dripping tap, but unfortunately it doesn't look like he's all that sure how to get the top of the taps off either. Damn, should have got that plumber in here after all.

Huh, interesting I'm watching a doco called Body Hack and have just found out that you don't even have to be French to get in the French Foreign Legion. Not that I'm going to join, I'd last approximately point one millisecond, meanwhile the guy doing the doco is like "I'm so old compared to these guys..." which he is, but damn doesn't mean he's not fit since he ends up surviving the course and would have made the legion!

Also, Duolingo is being a bit of a pain here, I'm not sure if it's due to my phone running out of space or the storm that's outside. Maybe a bit of both? Very annoying. Especially since I'm still trying to get to bed at 11:18pm as advised by my UP app.

And also, I was going to do some memes, but Friday5 doesn't seem to be working, but I guess I'll just do the other Friday Five.

The (Other) Friday Five

15/7/16

1.How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? Uh...like how old do I feel? I guess like 16? Which is like half my age which is kinda sad.

2.Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying I suppose, although failing sucks rather hard :OP

3.If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Because you gotta eat, man and most people's dream jobs aren't really profitable.

4.When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? With how much I talk definitely the former!

5.What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? The inequality, it sucks that so little of us have so much. :O(

29/7/16

1.Do you believe in reincarnation? Nah.

2.Have you ever felt that you knew someone the first time you met them? Not that I recall.

3.Have you ever visited a foreign country or city for the first time and found that you knew exactly where things were? Pft, I barely know where things are in the place I live in all the damn time, so no.

4.Have you ever looked in the mirror and 'seen' a different face? Nope, although I have looked at photos of my niece and I think she looks a Hell of a lot like my mother's baby photos. Except...I don't remember seeing photos of my mother as a baby. Weird.

5.Is the belief in UFOs, aliens, physic powers, etc, growing because the belief in religion is dying? I dunno if it's actually growing, it's probably about the same it's just more noticible because of the internet.

Right, better be off now otherwise I won't make my bed time, which is more important than ever because I didn't sleep too well last night, I think I was nervous about the job interview, hmpf!

Goodnight!
