Got my Training Incentive Allowance sorted out yesterday. Complaining to the Ministry of Social Development worked wonders and got things moving pretty quickly after their big fuck up. Must remember that for next time, to go straight to the top.

Got a pretty new Laptop. This one in case you are wondering. It is a big upgrade on my old (very) crappy Dell (who have finally agreed to a refund – it goes back Thursday) one. Everything just runs well. Faster, better and with more style. Hell, the battery even lasts more than 30 minutes which is more than the Dell one EVER did.

University is into full swing already, assignments etc. So far the workload isn’t too bad. Got two assignments done, one to go at the moment. Math is a bit hard.. but I’m getting there. I think I’ll pass but not with the A+ average I’ve maintained. Already holidays are coming up.. it seems too soon. Only 1 1/2 weeks left then 2 weeks break over Easter and my birthday.

And another good piece of news, my Mum (who lives with me due to being unwell) is going away for 2 1/2 weeks to stay at my Grandparents place as of tomorrow. This means more time for me, and less stress. In general, you’ll notice a (hopefully) happier me.

And Ewan is finally *cross fingers* better as of Monday. Almost two weeks of the stomach bug was a bit rough on him and he had his first day back at creche at the start of the week and will be in again tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a big day for me, University, then home to pack my Mum’s car up. Unfortunately she doesn’t travel light, a 2 day trip for her will yield 25 bags/boxes. I hate to think how much stuff a 2 1/2 week trip is going to yield. I think she’s going to need a trailer.

Lonely tonight. Hugs needed.

Where’s a cat when you need one. 

That’s right … don’t have one. One of Ewan’s soft toys instead.
