Japanese Day!!
I am up early this morning to do a bit more sorting and putting away from boxes.Mum and I are going to Morwell this morning to a "Japanese Day" convention!! WHY??????? We are hoping they will have some inspiring ideas and some of their beautiful papers they are known for. They have been advertising this on the telly and saying they have stalls, craft!!!!, workshops!!! Origami!!! and much more, so we are going to have a look see and who knows maybe spend a little money!!! and hopefully come back with some awesome ideas for me to do with paper!!!!! Get me on track!!! I have been so caught up in the renovations that I have not had the "spark" to get creative in the Purple Palace as yet!!! Cannot let my stuff be abandoned for too long and untouched, don't want any unwanted visitors in there!!!
We are picking Tamyka up from Traralgon at 3pm, she is coming up from Dandenong station by train to spend the week with us. Looking forward to having her here and it has also made me get a wriggle on to get this room clear to put out the double bed in the couch! So this room will also be clear for the plasterer and the painters to get into. Just need to cover the couch and the computer!!!
So I won't spend ages talking this morning cause the kitchen is so full of boxes to be emptied and put away. Only problem with a new kitchen is where do I put everything and then remember where it is!!! Not such a big problem, only Gerard and I cannot find the stuff already and we put it in different spots and keep hunting around. Willl get him out of his obsessive compulsiveness with having to look for things not in the same place all the time :)
O.K. so lets see how much damage I can do in two hours, I have aggravated my back and hands from yesterday, does not need much, just moving boxes and vacuuming and getting a certain box out of the back of the wardrobe!!! So I will take some pain killers to numb myself and get stuck into it!!
Long day ahead so probably won't talk now til tomorrow unless I have some great things to let you know about from today..
bye for now
luv Jill xxx (feeling better moodwise today)!!!

Well I'm curious to hear how you went with the unpacking??? Moving into your kitchen at last....don't forget you said you were going to throw out alot of things that you really don't use.
It feels very strange not having my girl here with me, its quiet (the tv isn't on) I put off coming home after dropping her off cause I knew it was going to be a long lonely night without her.
She was such a brave girl going on the train by herself. I knew she was more than capable but after I had talked to her all the way from home to Dandenong about what to watch out for in the way of danger, making sure she said with other women or women with children or even a man with a child would be ok. I questioned her about what she would do if there was danger around, or if she wasn't sure of something who should she speak to etc.....then I put her off the train in a whirlwind....she probably told you about the short train. hahaha....silly me. She was gone, all I could see was her silloette standing on the train with it pulling out from the station and she was still looking for a seat. I sms'd her about 5 mins after she left to make sure she had found somewhere to put herself and she reassured me she was ok and sitting opposite two Asian women....the I thought 'what if they can't speak english they won't be able to help her.....anyway the timed passed. But the point I was going to make was after she left, I thought I had probably put the fear of danger into her so much that she felt sure something bad was going to happen. There is no delicate way of preparing them yet not scaring them. Hence she was brave.
I hope you girls enjoy yourselves together and if you find you need a bit of space (you won't be used to having a teenager around) just ask her if you could have some time alone as you need to do something. She will understand. She said she might go for a walk to the hill sometimes to give you some space.
I suggested she might like to check her msn around 6ish cause I will come home from work and go on and chat to her for a while...that way she won't be disturbing gerard watching the news either. Hope that is ok with you.
She is looking forward to having time up there with you guys. Hope the weather is good and you have fun....whatever you are doing.
Well I am going to cook something to eat as I am starving....very tempted to get take away but I won't, I was naughty enough yesterday at the show, I had 2 hot jam donuts....yuuuuummmmmmmyyyy.
Anyway will leave my msn on in case she wants to talk to me, tell her I will have it set to Away unless I am offline. I don't want to leave it sitting as On cause I only really want to talk to her. Tell her to put hers to On when she is online and I can say hi....that is if she wants to talk to me.
have fun girls.
Love Machele
