yikes

i've had the house painted and didn't even think to get low allergy paint. it looks great but i'm suffering atm. hopefully it won't last too much longer. i've tried everything. i've got one of those air cleaner things, puts clean air back. don't know what they are called. open all the windows while i'm home but it's freezing. :( am trying nilodour, vanilla, essential oils, carb soda, candles, oil burner. i can't think of anything else. dustin is upstairs and he's not happy. actually he's freezing too. i have a lamp over him to try and warm him up but i don't think it's working. ahhhhhhhhh horrible week at work. everyone is resigning. bloody restructure. boss should publish a book. how NOT to implement a restructure. my bestie work buddy left but so did the wicked witch from the west. hahahaha. you win some, you lose some. i just wish i could get rid of this paint smell. if you have any ideas please post them, i'm desperate. my sister bought a scooter and i'm jealous. i want one. she lives in a small country town so not much traffic.

two things

1. dustin survived the bowl cleanout. but, he's spending a lot of time on the bottom of the bowl and not moving much. i would think that he's just frozen like me. it's freezing atm in adelaide. too cold. i actually used a laundromat this arvo to dry my clothes. it was sunny but not much wind to help them dry. i had a large wash coz i went to wallaroo on the weekend and didn't get time to do it on friday night/saturday morning.

2. wtf is going on with blogger? i hate the new 'design' function. sadly lacking. i've lost my previous layout which is totally my fault coz i didn't save it before playing around. story of my life really. hahahaha. i made some lovely pumpkin soup today so that's a plus. here's a pic of my tattoo.

well i'm home

and missing bali very much. i had a wonderful time with my sister. best holiday we've ever had which is a big call indeed. we met lots of new people and went to new places. enjoyed some fantastic food, spent as many beer (read six) oclocks as possible on the beach watching the non-sunsets (it was cloudy most of the time) and the world go by. we relaxed and just went with the flow most of the time. we didn't go on any excursions this time but we meant to. we wanted to spend a day or two at lovina, which is on the far north coast, but just didn't get there. i rode a motorbike around kuta which means i'm either very brave or extrememly stupid. i'd have lunch and a nice juice (couldn't drink much as i was driving - not that there are any road rules about drinking and driving) and i'd get to where i was going and need a cold drink. i loved it. my sister is so brave as she was the pillion passenger most of the time. i didn't buy everything i wanted but there's always next time (i have a list already which is really sad). i got a new tattoo. i'm still not completely unpacked and organised (i'll never be completely organised) but i'm getting there. i'm back at work which is horrible. :( complete restructure happening there which is a story on it's own. but .... mostly all is good. i even found the cable for the phone and the drops for dustin so that i can change his water. (dustin nguyen, my siamese fighting fish (tetra) in case you were wondering). my son is obsessed with his welfare saying that he's swimming in fish wee and i should change his water immediately. i'll do it today. lol

home from bali

we are back from bali. *sad face* had a wonderful holiday but it's so cold in adelaide. ahhhhh have a look at some of our photos if you get time.
