Evening. I feel the title may require some explanation. Today was the first day of my two months of school holidays. That's right, I've finished school for the year and am now a senior. Why, the very thought gives me shivers. I suppose it's sort of creepy, really. Regardless of creepy quirks, with my 58 or so days of absolute nothing (apart from the one or two shifts I work each week) I'm going to be very bored, thus the predicted increase in posts. It's all right, though, because everyone loves my blog.
Anytime I mention holidays, I get asked what my plans are. It's a little annoying, because I don't plan a day ahead, let alone two months. But I can give an approximation of what my mother has planned for me.
Christmas, of course. I'm going to be hanging out at home with what will be at least 10 of my family members. And what Christmas would be complete without a family get-together? My dad's side is the usual one to hold these, since my mum's siblings live in Sydney and Hervey Bay, both several hours away. Unfortunately, my dad's parents always have the get-togethers at their house, which is a one story, one bedroom, one bathroom house, and I don't think they have air-conditioning. And when you have around 30 people in attendance, it tends to get a tad cramped.
My medical insurance money for optical purposes needs to be used up by the end of the year, so I'm going to have my lenses updated, and I'm looking into contacts. My sister had them at age 12, but we're not all so preemptively demanding. Speaking of annoying medical needs, I'm also getting braces. Crossbite, you see. My jaws are both too narrow. So I should have them early next year, maybe even by the time school starts. Expanding on annoying medical needs, my last Bowen therapy appointment is on Tuesday (don't ask me what Bowen therapy is - I still have no idea), which means I can get back to my chiropractic appointments, which help a great deal more.
One thing I am planning to do myself is go see New Moon. I was severely disappointed by Twilight (and it did in fact cause me to lose interest in the series), but my friends inform me the sequel is much better. (No, they didn't just go see it without me. I was sick. And if I hadn't been sick, I would have been at work. That was Thursday. I did work on Friday. It was worse than I predicted. So close to just breaking down. So close.) Also, since I'm going to be out and about, I need to get my Christmas shopping done. No idea what to get anyone, and I have many people I need to get something for. Christmas is a real pain. I can't buy anything I want right now, because it's possible someone will get me it. I mean, I'd appreciate it and everything, but I wish I could just go out and get these things myself without wondering if I just screwed up someone's plans. So I'm to remain bored for a month, then I can go buy whatever I need.
A thought just occurred to me. You know people consider you a serious couple when they buy you the one gift instead of individual ones. But it is easiest for the purchaser.
And I've had enough of this reflection. A girl can only take so much of her own thoughts, painstakingly reworded (not really, my thoughts are already neatly organised), before she becomes withdrawn and antisocial, avoiding leaving the house for weeks at a time. And now we all know how my last summer went. Seriously, though, I paled, got dark circles under my eyes, spent all my time on the computer because I was too tired to do anything else... As I later discovered, I was anemic, which did account for everything. Except the paranoia. Never did quite get over that.
Honestly.
