Subdued Lighting

I got up at 9am with a pounder of a head ache. I called mum and put her off until tomorrow, went and got coffee beans, took mersyndol and antibiotics and went back to bed.

I got up again at 4pm. It was already getting dark.

It’s nice to see towels in the bathroom that are all different shades of dark green and not Ab’s taste of pink, baby blue and blood red, which never suited this house. There is only minimal lighting on down stairs, not Ab’s every light blaring. And the dirty-laundry basket has ceased is residency in the hallway outside the laundry.

Morning Christian

How are you?

Thanks for the Gaydar idea – I guess there's a few things that I can buy now that I wouldn't have bought before.

I was thinking of buying a laptop for hospital, but have decided against it. The security aspect shits me, and also, they have Foxtel on the haematology ward, and I think I would rather lie on bed watching TV than sitting up chatting on Gaydar.

"What’s happening Tom’ah?"

"Oh just had my total body irradiation".

It seems a trite and false window on the world, which I'd rather not subject myself to, quite frankly. And I get grumpy enough thinking of things I'm missing out on in hospital!

So, no laptops yet Miss. Though, with the interest from the 75K that I am putting away, we should be able to get a couple of lovely ones in 12 months time.

I could just about go shopping next week though, for some noice clothing perhaps, and a good pair of slip-on shoes.

Woohoo for $$$$!

And I was secretly pleased that Ab didn't need to me help her move out – pleased for her that is. Let the boyfriend pay for everything, I say!

As I mentioned previously, next Saturday is my last of freedom, and I am thinking ID...

I've sorted with Perry to get some lovely gems from Adelaide, with which I intend to ply you ferociously, should you choose to come.

Ticket on me as well.

How can you turn down an offer like that?!

It might be the Last Chance you get to dance with me!

hahahaha x 1000

It’s nice that it’s a boy’s house again. Girls always have angst about them. Oh, I don’t mean that. It’s just a different energy. The fire is blazing and only the lamps are on. Boy's are more relaxed.

Me, Julien and Mark and Luke and Mark W. and Shane went out for dinner as a farewell to Julien, who goes to Darwin to live tomorrow. We went to Chocos. The food was fantastic. You won’t be getting that in Darwin, Jules.

Just on the lighting thing, when we got home the house was in darkness, just Tim and Ben curl together on the couch by the light of the tv. Just gotta fucken love that. I hate coming home to an amusement park.

SMS. 21.47. Loaded fit under spare room pillow – Tom

SMS. 21.50. You’ll go to hell young lady – Christian

SMS. 21.51. But won’t we have fun! You are my target next week miss – Tom

SMS. 21.53. So I gather – Christian

They were all gone by 10pm.

I watched TV with Tim and Ben, smoking joints the whole while, of course, until I woke up at 4 am alone on the couch.
