The good, the bad and the bitching!

House hunting has commenced… and already there is a big dissapointment. We saw a great unit on Saturday but because it was rented we couldnt get back in on Sunday to show our parents, so we thought we will just go again this weekend, and left it at that. except, today it went under offer. Which means it will be sold And the place was great – lots of room, not much work needed, big rooms, double garage, 3 bedrooms, big enough yard. And we were thinking perhaps we would beat the odds and buy a house relatively quickly – not 6 months down the track.

so there are only a few places left on the list in our budget… bah.

And I really shouldnt be surprised. I mean, I had surgery on Tuesday! Its Thursday. The worst part though is I cant get to sleep, and my normal healing process is just to sleep as much as I can. So, I stayed up late, tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep about 3am and slept through to 8am when Ben got up for work.

I am better at sitting down today though, yesterday it was hurting no matter what, but today, sitting down is not so painful. Unfortunately, walking is.

Ive been really touched though by the actions of some of my friends… One will be keeping me company on Friday night with chocolate and dvds, so Ben can go out to a must see footy game, one sent me flowers (totally unecessary but very sweet!) and Ive had a bunch of emails from everyone, because most only found out about this when ben put a facebook message up saying he was sad I was going to have to stay in the hospital.

In other news… was woken up by my Dad this morning who called to ask me what my sister had said to me yesterday about her boyfriend, and when I said nothing but I got the impression something was up…he told me that he had broken up with her. Now, I totally dont blame him (and in the nicest way for my sister) but shes not the most mature or thoughtful girl at times, and so its a struggle for him to deal with that at times and lately she has been going a bit off the rails, drinking wayyy too much and acting up. I knew it would just be a matter of time… so its only fresh but she has agreed to move home (thank god) and my parents can help her get her act together and she can get a proper job, stop drinking so much, and possibly work at her relationship again.

Its just sucky that this has happened when I cant do anything to help her… shes going to need some support, but she may just have to get it from me from the phone!
