Taking A Break
Again.
Bye Tumblr! I’ll be back… probably in about a week. Or so.
Still on twitter.
Probably on facebook, but that’s a bit iffy.
And you can email me. But not if you want me quickly.
Basically, twitter. Actually. Or text me. Or write a letter. Or email.
Or something.
No one wants to talk to me that badly.
Bye guys! Stay awesome, remember Jesus loves you!
On the phone
B: Shall I bring it tonight?
S: Um... only if you can drop it straight in the office as you come in and not mention it all evening.
B: That's okay. Unless Mark opens the door.
S: When was the last time Mark opened the door for you?
B: Um... once. Actually, I think that was Dave.
S: Exactly.
B: So I'll bring it tonight then.
S: Excellent.
I AM ABOUT TO WATCH EASY A WITH KATEE
I’M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW
GREAT DAY
Awesome breakfast with my husband
Lunch with Grandma and everyone liked my pavlova
I managed to pull off the Zumba routine I learned this afternoon on stage.
The salsa routine went so well! Only 1 screw up.
I got to catch up with Tiffany
We made it back to Launceston in time to hear number one in the hottest 100 on triple j announced at Naomi’s party. And got treated like we were the...
A response to my post
One I admit I was expecting. I agree that we shouldn’t forget the past. But I also feel that we as a people should be united in owning tomorrow. INCLUDING the Aboriginal people. I pray they are not marginalised, knowing they currently are in some areas. I disagree that there is no place for everyone else in the future of Australia, or that we should rue the day we as colonists arrived here....
wife: wow there is nothing on tv...
husband: that's why we have the internet sweetheart.
Sad Day
hugging husband
Husband: I need to burp.
Wife: Burp then.
Husband: I can't.
Wife: /sighs/ sit forward then. /thumps back/
Husband: /burps/ Ah Thank you!
Wife: I just burped my husband, this is a sad day.
Husband: This is a great day! Awesome Wife!
Invasion Day vs Australia Day
Okay so I have a few people posting on facebook and twitter about ‘Invasion Day’. It upsets me.
Just some background because I know I only have about four Australians following me so allow me to explain.
Australia Day is celebrated on the day the First Fleet from Britain arrived in 1788. It is meant to commemorate the beginning of colonisation, the discovery of a new land, the...
Amazed by responses to my swearing post
I expected to be mocked, ignored and told to shove it.
This has not happened. And I’ve even had two non christians apologise for offending me.
Tumblr people are the awesome people.
I’m sure there is no correlation, but I’ve had 2 f-bombs on 10 pages of my dash when I checked back this afternoon. Which makes me happy.

Why tumblr, why is there swearing all over my...
I follow lots of Christians.
And their reblogs of late have been going downhill in spiritual quality.
Which is not to say I’m perfect. But I don’t think you need to add the f-word for emphasis the majority of the time.
And if you’re Christian, is not that hard to delete the f-bomb when you reblog.
Today I Have
purchased the stuff for and made rosettes for our salsa performance
purchased vinyl and created a bad replica of Zoe’s vest for my firefly party
started painting my nerf gun brown and gold with gesso. Bottom coat complete, once dry, I’m adding the dark brown highlights, then the gold highlights.
researched Australia Day, why we have it, what the date signifies and what is going on...
astrid--farnsworth asked: canaan liked alice and wants to watch it in full! we are related!
i figured you were the only person that would appreciate this fact.

Since When Did Beds Become Awkward?
I went to fantastic furniture yesterday to buy a bed for my sister. And we picked it, and that’s fine and then I said to Mark, we should look around while we’re here. We keep saying we need a bedhead and the wall behind the bed is not structurally sound and when I lean on it I feel it creak.
And Mark gets all embarrassed, and the sales assistant has a slightly pinched face…
I...
Showers, Screwtape Letters and Revelations
I was in the shower yesterday praying, as you do, and trying to think about my opinion on something. I’ve been a bit concerned that my attitude toward an area of my life had stopped being healthy and I wanted God to lead me on it.
And He asked me to remember the Screwtape Letters. When Wormwood (one of the demons) says ‘we have not been able to come up with any new pleasures, we can...
Information You May Want To Know
I have not been on tumblr much because I’ve been reading books. White Knight by Jim Butcher and Just Take My Heart and The Moonlight Becomes You by Mary Higgins Clark. I tried reading another hard boiled detective novel but was like… no. It made me uncomfortable with the world.
I have not been on tumblr much because I feel like a whiner lately. There have been some really good...
The Last Airbender
Mark: that would be funny
Sarai: Yes, but that require this movie to be quality and/or accurate
Mark: The only real bending in this movie was when someone humour-bended it out
Sarai: That's going on tumblr. This movie is incredibly shit.
Mark: I'm too sad to care. This movie is making me sad.
Sarai: Going on tumblr. Turn it off.
Mark: I can't...
The only emails I get these days are about salsa...
I’m trying to be more positive.
I have good things happening in my life too.
I’m feeling more confident today, more self assured and in control.
This is a very, very good thing.
Airfare Sales
Every time I see a fare sale, I click.
I check flights to Brisbane, first, alway, to Lara. And they’re always still stupidly expensive or not on sale.
And now my brother has been posted to Darwin.
To see Lara: approx $350 return
To see Dave: approx $600 return
SUCKTACULAR
text messages
bro: hey, what's up?
me: oh not much just having a movie date with Katee
bro: on skype chat?
me: yeah
bro: i can call you then
me: um... no....
bro: but you're not talking
me: you have no conception of my life, do you?
Also my friend is 35 minutes late
which is not necessarily uncommon so much as strange because she normally texts me to tell me she’ll be late.
I’m really over my ‘read more’ line not working because I don’t want to spam you guys with my negativity and frustrations but I DO want to vent them on my personal blog.
Things That Will Make Me Snap At You
Bouncing up to me when I am sitting alone and miming a smile with your hands before singing out ‘smile’ like I’m a four year old.
It’s 7:30, I have fatigue, I’ve already been off balance and my husband has sat me down on the sideline, my head is in my hands, and this is your approach?
Sigh. I have this friend who is nice enough, but she’s very immature....

Today So Far
Mark was running late leaving so the morning routine was off
Got email from someone I knew in high school about a reunion
Said email was full of back-handed insults and almost bitchiness
I’m sure she was trying to ‘personalise’ the email by asking questions and all she remembered was that I sucked
I didn’t even finish high school with them because they drove me out...

GOOD NEWS PARTY PEOPLE
I am on the Support Register for Fixed-Term and Casual Employment.
What this means is that my application to be a Teacher Aide has been successful, in that I am on the register. It is now up to individual schools who need TAs to view the register and select someone from it fill positions, whether they be part-time or relief.
But I know two people who didn’t make it on the register, who...
Irony
Low iron and vitamin D levels cause fatigue and mood affectation.
Part of treatment for Fatigue:
REST and sleeping. Hang around the house, don’t do too much and let yourself rest. If you push yourself you make it worse.
Part of treatment for Mood Affectation:
EXERCISE and getting out of the house. Try not to sleep too much, get out there, catch up with people and do things you...
The Deal With The Letters
Askbox/ email me with your address and FIVE things about you
You are under no obligation to write back, though I do love getting letters.
I will send the letter ANYWHERE in the world. So don’t be shy.
I will not use your address for anything other than the sending of this letter.
I purchased 10 international pre paid envelopes...
Anyone else want a letter?
Good News Bad News
Good news:
I’ve never had such a short wait at radiology
It was an external ultrasound, not an internal one
Bad news:
“Hmm… well, we will send these straight to your doctor you should get a call this afternoon.”
Alright Tumblr
Off to have a scan and a blood test.
Super fun times.
I shall be reading Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things. Which should make life better.
Will also post letters I did not post yesterday due to being in tears. Annaliese, I have not written yours so you will get a later mail out. But I will probably write it today and post it by the end of the week.
