Off Topic With Ashley

Haven’t blogged properly for a while. I’m guessing that’s going to change now I’m back at home.

I finished up my house-sitting stint at my parents place, and even stayed an extra night for varied and uninteresting reasons. I went to see grandma today, because her sister Dulcie died last night, which was an expected but unfortunate thing. My parents woke me up at nine in the morning, so I fell asleep on her bed.

Now I’m back home and everything feels a bit meh. There’s an extra person living here now for some reason, and there’s shit everywhere, so it essentially doesn’t feel like my own home any more. I’m pretty annoyed actually, but I’ll work that out tonight when everyone gets home I’ll just let things slide and bitch a lot, because everyone knows I’m a massive push-over.

For now I’m going to go shopping and get some supplies, considering the only thing in my fridge is half a packet of muesli, and some pasta spirals — in my fridge because there was an infestation of unpleasant insects earlier and I presumed that would help keep them out. After eating like a disaster waiting to ravage all of last month and putting on three or so kilos, I’ve decided I’m going to start eating properly again. This is a really dreadful prospect, because it’s bloody expensive to eat properly, and it also tends to get pretty tired after a while. I’m going to have to learn to make a few meals, because my previous weight loss strategy of toasted sandwiches rationed sparingly was pretty poor.

So now that I’m home, I’m planning on getting myself sorted. It’s easier said than done, but I figure if I plug at my to-do list I can hopefully hammer off a few items per week. I’ve been jorb hunting the last few days and I’m going to start by sending my resume to a few possibilities this weekend I have no prospects in life right now. I’m also going to have to go clothes shopping very soon, because my last pair of decent jeans developed a very unfortunate and unsightly hole in the knee just days before. I’d ideally like to buy a really nice pair of jeans that’ll last forever, because apparently the amount of time I spend on my knees is just too much for cheap denim.
