End of the Week

Its been a long week. Well, maybe not especially long in the physical sense (duh) but its just felt like its been ages. I seem to wake up tired every single morning thoughI suspect that may have something to do with my kitty waking me up at 5 a.m. He has this habit of not sleeping after that and deciding he'll go for my belts and necklaces. Not amusing at all. Sometimes I think that if he was human, he'd be gay. Seriously though; belts, bags, necklaces...seems a bit of a trend.

Scott and I have a new car now as well. He finally sold the 200sx and got a very respectable Toyota Camry. Now everyone's asking me why we've gone and got a family car and look at me funny. They seem to have forgotten that I'm not particularly attached to kids. But its all good, I have heaps of leg room and its a lot more economical. Only 1 problem. I think its a fair bit larger than the 200sx and while driving may not be a problem, I have a bad feeling that parking will. *sigh* I'm looking forward to the 1st drive, yet dreading it at the same time.

Final note; got to work today only to find out John (my boss) is off sick. Funnily enough, I was tempted to call in sick myself today but then thought that I'd need to field calls since John's whole morning was booked out with meetings. Plus the fact I want to take advantage of late night shopping today. Okay, more the shopping. So now I'm just happily surfing the net with my music plugged into 1 ear. I still need to hear the phone. Hmm, 15 minutes more to morning tea. I can't wait...

Rain Rain Go Away

Its winter alright, no doubt about it. For a moment there, I thought this winter was actually going to be nice and mild. And it was, for a bit. I could spend weekends lazing in the sun with just shorts and a strappy top. Now, I'm freezing even with a coat, gloves and scarf. I don't know what to make of the weather; but does anyone? I don't even know if I'm really looking that much forward to summer. All I can really think of is 40 degree heat. Which still isn't very appealing.

On another topic, my mom is coming to Perth this Friday. It will be good to see her again, only I still haven't lost the weight I put on when she was last here. Ah, the glory, the delight of not having to prepare my own dinners. I actually like cooking but it gets a bit of a bother when I've been working all day.

I feel the need to shop. I don't really want anything particular and I sure as hell don't need anything. But I just want to look at pretty htings and maybe aquire something new. *sigh* Some people say shopping is a disorder. I'm sure I'm not as bad as that. But it does do wonders to perk one up.

The Taxman Cometh

Its tax time. I confess here and now, I've NEVER had to do tax before. So yeah, you can just imagine the trepidation with which I face this. Thank goodness my stuff seems relatively strightforward. Apparantly, all I need to do is submit my group certificates and away we go. But here I am thinking that nothing is ever that easy. I've been putting it off and I guess will continue doing so for another few weeks. But I will do it. Eventually.

I'm hoping that I'll actually get money back. Please let me not have to pay more anyhow. I asked one of my friends how this was calculated and apparantly, it depends on how much tax your employers pay. So from what I gather, if your current or past employer's a tightarse, then you're fucked. Given my past employers, that would be me. Another reason I dread having to do all this tax stuff. I want to live with the illusion that I'll be getting some money, rather than paying it out.

Right now, I just want to sleep. It was a tiring weekend and due to 9 Network's inability to decide on set times for screening their shows, its going to be another late night for me. *sigh*
