On Tuesday night when I got home I realised that I’d armed the burglar alarm but forgotten the code through the day. It’s amazing – when I set it as I was leaving, I said to myself, “Rebecca, you must write it down the minute you get in the car.”. Of course, as soon as I walked away from the keypad, that thought vanished and I completely forgot. So when I got home I had to leg it into the house and retrieve the code, setting off the alarm and freaking out all the neighbourhood animals. I was appalled when none of my neighbours came to my aid. I could have been being accosted! Though I must admit, I do ignore car alarms when I hear them go off – I think we’ve all become desensitised.
Yesterday I had a great little run on a wonderful hilly course round where I work. It used to take me about 45 minutes to do it, but now it takes about 30 – it was about 35 yesterday as I was with my friend Ali who was a bit puffed. It’s weird – we run together quite often, and sometimes she is just way too fast for me, and other times I’ll be jogging along chatting away and she sounds like she is going to collapse! We have decided that we must be at similar fitness levels because it can go either way from run to run. She’s great to run with though – on the days when I am tired and slow she will not let me stop, even on big horrible hills.
I’ve started to make a list of all the bits and pieces I want to make my house complete. When I say bits and pieces, I mean a massive LCD TV to play Wii on, an outdoor setting, a huge 85 burner barbecue so I can have all my mates and my brothers and my Dad around and they can have a set of tongs each and all feel manly. Of course the girls will be invited too, but we will sit and sip Bellini’s out of my fabulously posh champagne glasses (purchased at Big W - $12.98 for 6!). There’s other things I need to get for the garden etc, but I’ve been putting off going to Bunnings as I’m so looking forward to it and it’s nice to have something to look forward to. Even if it is only a trip to Bunnings.
This morning I got up at 4:45am – I had something to do before I left for the gym. I needed to find the electricity meter and mains switch so I could make sure that AGL have access to it today to connect my electricity. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I called the real estate when I got into work this morning and the girl spent about 5 minutes trying to tell me it is on the outside of the house somewhere. I don’t doubt that she is correct, but what I was asking her was to provide me with, or find out from the owner, a specific location. She just kept repeating that it is on the outside of the house somewhere. I don’t understand why, when you are indicating to someone that they are not giving you the information you need, they insist on repeating themselves. What will have changed in the 4 seconds since the last time you gave me your irrelevant and unhelpful answer? Nothing, Real Estate Lady!! Nothing at all!!
Oh I just realised, I meant to do a NEWSFLASH last night but I forgot! Anyway, I saw Odd Shoe at the gym last night. This time he was wearing the shoes AND a creepy bandana. What is this dude thinking??
