My car’s stuffed again. Funny, I think that’s how I started the last post I wrote about my car not working. So I had to get it towed again last night, yada yada yada. Hopefully they’re actually going to fix it this time. I should be picking it up tomorrow.
I’m so buggered that I’m tempted to go to bed now, and it’s only 5 to 9. M and I didn’t get to leave work until 7:30, and since it’s our 18-month wedding anniversary today (which isn’t really an anniversary but whatever!), we thought we’d go out for dinner. So we went to a local pub, which has quite nice food. So now that I’ve eaten too much, I need to sleep it off. I can barely stay awake to type this.
I start back at tafe next week - the Christmas holidays always go so quickly. I was getting quite used to not going. But it will be fun, and hopefully this year I’ll start to see some improvement in my signing. It would be nice if I could get a bit more involved in the Deaf community as well - no idea how though. It seems pointless to study Auslan and then only use it when I’m in class. Although a friend of mine from class and I got together every week during the holidays to practice. It got to the point where it was weird to hear her talk, because I was so used to just signing with her. Even when we’re having a ‘talking’ catchup, we often just start signing anyway.

That’s so cool that you’re learning how to sign! I hope your car troubles are cleared up soon and they finally fix it this time around. BTW, happy 18-month anniversary!

I only know how to ’sign’ one phrase, and it’s not friendly.

What’s tafe? And I wonder what material would befit an 18th month anniversary? You know how paper is for 1st, silver for 25th, etc? I think it should be…ice cream! Good luck with your car!

Thanks, yaya, I hope it’s sorted out soon too. It really sucks not being able to rely on your car.
She is a little beast, Rich! Rawr! She really does run quite well… usually. Hopefully this will be the last thing to go wrong for a long time.
Ha ha Dawn, I think those ’signs’ are universal
Steph, tafe stands for ‘technical and further education’, and is sort of like university, but they offer a lot of courses that unis don’t. And if you don’t get into a uni course you want to do, you can do a similar course at tafe, and possibly get in to uni that way.

Schools have a long break in the middle of the year in the US, don’t they JR? We just have ours at the end of the year because that’s when summer is!

My aunts car had a problem the last time too. Yesterday, we had to call NRMA to come and give the car a jump start because the battery was dead….so if possible, the next time your car breaks down, give me a warning, so that I can get ready for my aunts one to break down as well

Been keeping up on your blog and have to say your writing just gets better and better! I am glad you’re still writing, everything is coming along so beautifully. I have been at it again lately, stirring shit up and pissing people off. I guess my depression must be over, or I am in the midst of some kind of mania, who knows, but I am enjoying it. Miss you lots!

Sorry to jinx your aunt’s car, Kunaal
It wasn’t intentional, honest!
Thanks, Kissyfur - I’m not sure you’re right about may writing, but it’s a sweet thing to say
