Weight

Mum just got back from the neighbours house [Phil & Jill are the couple and their daughters are Jacqui and Kirsten] and having a chat Joyce [the daughters' grandmother]. Joyce lives in Sydney and mum said she would like to see me over there. Mum didn't mention the possibility of staying with her while I find a house but I will be searching on the internet beforehand so hopefully I will have something almost lined up before I even get there. Staying in a backpackers for a week is close to a weeks rent. Not a fun way to start it. I have heard of a couch surfing website or something. I might check that out and see if there are any cheaper ways of living before I find a house. Joyce's friend mentioned that it's even hard to volunteer at the museums over there but that I can get a reference from the Maritime here and it might be easier to get into the Maritime museum over there. That is definitely an option to follow up on. Sydney is my biggest wish. Actually I think it's on par with getting married and starting a family. Both stem from Sydney or at least from my next big adventure.

I feel fat today. I look pregnant, as usual of late, and it's getting me down. I'm hanging with Andi tonight for drinks and want to feel elegant but we might be going to the Republic or the Alley Cat and they're very pub. I seriously look pregnant. I would love it if I were but I'm not and it's good that I'm not because I'm not married or with the love of my life and it's bad because I am tubby. I hate this.
