Ok I thought I'd better let you all know that I was not dead after all!
Have been enjoying my holidays with the rellies in NSW. It was 36 degrees on Christmas day, talk about sweltering... and of course, I am peeling like a snake shedding its skin, so I stood under the air conditioning most of the day.
Interesting this year doing the thing with the relatives, we had already done dinner with my moms side of the family a few weeks ago, had no one to pick at me down there cause Pa died this year, he used to always make the smart (read 'rude') comments. Missed having him there, laughing with the kids, doting on them.
Christmas day was different, my dads mom was there (gram), and dads twin brother and his family and his sister. Main difference was that my parents weren't there this year. Talked to them on the phone, they both sounded very homesick. They are living in Thailand building orphanages and stuff. Gram picked and picked... "well in my opinion..blah blah" why do old people feel that they have the right to be rude just because they are old?
Still no ADSL... thats a major part of the reason I haven't posted in a while. The modem was meant to be sent last Monday, shoulda got here before mail close on Wednesday, but it didnt... 12 weeks they have been trying to get their ADSL connected here now and it still aint going... Maybe Monday the modem will finally arrive and we will be able to get it set up! I miss talking to everyone here.
Well I guess I better get going.
cya laters!
