So today is the big day.

Decided to call in the cavalry and do this thing (actually I didn't really decide to, the cavalry asked me if I still wanted him to and well... yeah okay I want this thing done).

So today's plan.

No work today so I'll hopefully get to sleep without the landlord banging on my door before 8am.

I'll do some vacuuming and some washing and some productive stress-killing stuff in the morning. I'll meet the cavalry to help me bring the bunny rabbits back home and then I'll head to scouts, cavalry will sit in the car park from about 9pm and wait for me to finish my business with the other leader and then I guess we'll either come back here for some drinks or maybe head out. Or maybe I'll just send him home and sit here all catatonic and shit. Biggest bonus of jet lag is not tanking at midnight no matter what happens, I guess.

It's pretty fucking cold so I'm betting on option C. Especially given he invited himself round to my house with cupcakes at 11:30 last night. Yeahhh I mean imma not say no to cupcakes but it's a bit late in the day, you know. What's up with that? The upside is that the couch is finally clear for being sat on since its glorious debut after which it became a laundry station.

I feel pretty weird about it all still but it seems to be all above board and all the rest of it. And I guess as of Thursday he goes back to Kal for what could be months on end so it kind of makes sense to catch up with Perth people while he can. Maybe? I feel comfortable that its above board I just feel really... idk I dislike the level of stuff/services being offered but maybe that's my hangup (I did say that I needed to mow the lawn but that was more an observation than a plea for intervention).

Got a couple of things cranking next week so that's cool.

Uni goes back, I have classes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. For the next little while I'm working five day weeks too so that should keep my hands pleasantly full for a while!

Drinks/catchup with Scotty Tuesday night.... always promises to be an experience. My tolerance for any sort of anything is at an all-time low so I really hope it is a catch-up and not a scope, given he's recently single again. He doesn't know that I am too, though, so hopefully all should be well. I'm certainly not passing that little tidbit on. He's always a barrel of laughs but he makes me feel soooo insecure... I never feel at ease or funny, I always feel like I'm kind of unimpressive, falling flat or just plain unfunny next to him but that wasn't so much the case last time I saw him so who knows? Perhaps I'm just more confident than I was. It's the deprecating humour I think, it takes me a while to suss out the tone.
 I've been trying to pin Phil down but I should hopefully be able to do so on Monday, and if not then later on in the week for sure. Preeeeeeetty sure it's his turn for lumch :)
Tuesday morning between classes I'm meeting Michael for lunch, which also always ends up an experience, although I have a lot of fondness for the guy.
Wednesday onward is still a black hole but I mean I'm working each day and whatever. I'm sure I'll prob catch up with Jake one more time before he disappears for however long and I'm more likely to see Phil toward the end of the week anyway. I'm going to have to stack my weekends though if I don't want to end up staring down the barrel of more What Would You Do? videos. Data is killing me!

I don't know what Nick does in terms of living/travel. I mean he owns the tav so he must be down that way a bit. Might be nice to see if I can catch up with him at some point, or maybe Aaron who apparently Nick ran into working at some bottle-o since Contiki (what are the odds?). Definitely have to get my hands on Kalista and Megan, that girl is hilarious!! Seems like a clubber so if it's not too subzero we might be able to tee some shit up.

I'm really trying to focus on filling up a moderate portion of my time for the time being, distractions are good. I've made a lot of lovely friends on this trip, Megan of all the girls is one crazy funny lady.

I just really hope tomorrow night goes okay, I'm trying not to think about it too much. I hope it all goes well. I'm nervous but there's not a lot more I can do for now, just hope for the best and see what happens. Same goes for a bunch but like I've told people it's alllll out of my hands now... all I can do is what I can do and just hope and pray for the best.
