I'm Alive

What a week... I got better, I think I mentioned the anti-biotics so I started feeling better yesterday. Then the computer broke on Wednesday so my contact with the normal world was pretty much cut. Which meant I called home to tell them I was alive and got all upset and was told I wasn't allowed to come home, except the best thing might be for me to come home. But yeah, basiclaly mum summed it up by saying you can't make the decision to come home without setting yourself up into a routine, once that happens I'll know how I feel about the place and won't be just coming home because I'm a big cry baby (they are my words, mum didn't say that). One good thing about being sick, I lost weight. And I didn't have an appetitie til yesterday so I was only eatting dinner each day and that was like less than what a sparrow eats. Imagine that! I used to sit at my desk and eat all day and now all I want is ice. I'm living off ice. I love it.
So I went shopping yesterday, not big shopping, I just wanted to check out a discount card shop and party supply place, I'm not planning a party but I love looking at that stuff, and I also went to a craft store, which I have named "Craft Heaven". Oh man, I already spent over $50 in there. I'm going to spend so much money in there! I bought all these cool things for scrapbooking and making cards to send to people and coloured pens and stickers and it was so good. Then I thought we might get a bit of a dumping of snow last night but I'm not THAT lucky. We only got two inches.
Today I'm off to Libertyville for my first LCC meeting so I'll meet a few other au pairs. A girl from Pat's (that's my host mum in case you forgot) group (she's an LCC too) called me earlier and I'm meeting up with her and Madlen (Pat says she's pretty immature) on Wednesday night. On Friday night I went out and had Greek then finished up at TGI Friday's with some of the au pairs that I went out with last weekend plus a couple of others. I miss my friends at home though, but lucky I'm so comfortable with myself that I'm happy to have a conversation with me.
I'm settling in better too, except Matthew worked out before that I don't like someone jumping out at me and decided to do that to me twice and made me pretty pissed, especially since I'm not working and don't want him to keep bugging me. I'm so mean. But the kid scared me, thought it was hilarious and I have to ensure I don't say the f word around him. I've already said shit twice in front of him, and a few times in front of Emily, thank god she can't talk properly yet. Potty mouth Kelly. Plus he's sick. And Alex, the almost 11 y.o, shits in her pants and did it before but does she go and change it? Nnnoooooooo, she sits down! I was disgusted. Pat went mental. Things aren't so peachy but if I don't think about this stuff then I'm fine with them. But when I'm a parent, things will be done much much much differently.
Anyway, I'm getting cold and need to get directions to where I'm going today. Sorry nothing exciting is happening, all very boring at the moment since I'm still in my whinge whinge whinge mood. Oh except I did a fantastic rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody before with the whole orchestra thing. It reminds me of singing it at kareoke once, I think it was Fritz's farewell. I love Queen.
Take care!
