Well, just a few more days until the end of the world, I guess I'd better get these diary entries together and shoot them into space as the only record of humanity. *lol*

Hmmm… well, another rainy day today, and I'm stuck inside without a great deal to do except for watching the cricket. It rained most of yesterday as well, so there won't be a shortage of water for showering, just a shortage of hot water. Yesterday was spent lazing about doing very little, almost the same as today. Mum only had Xmas off from the caves, so she worked yesterday and today and also tomorrow. I wrote up a letter to Red, and that was about it. I will type one up for the Peta B also to say hello.
Today the cousins dropped by, and we actually had quite a good chat. Nothing to exciting, just glorified small talk really. As they were about to leave, Dad, Charles and Gabby came back from being out and the talk continued. They left about 1:30 pm and life and the rain continued as before.
Washed my hair (which is taking forever to dry) and that's about it. As you can see, it is very unexciting here and maybe that's a good thing.

1:00 am – Nice and late now, the coffee appears to be working. My brother Charles is heading back to Sydney tomorrow it seems, I wasn't expecting him to depart so fast. To tell or not to tell? At the moment I don't know. I wasted this evening, so I can only hope that he won't be doing too much work around the place tomorrow and I'll get a chance to chat to him alone. It would be useful if it doesn't rain, so we're not pegged together in the house for too long, I'm not even sure yet what I might say if I say anything. Oh well…
Still haven't rung Sarah, I don't know why.
Bored… 26 Roaccutane tablets left, 9 days worth. Roaccutane has a blood half-life of about 72 hours, so hopefully I can be mostly free of effects in about a week or so, but until I shed an entire layer of skin, I doubt I'll be free of the red tone and return to my naturally pasty complexion.

2:00 am – I'll go to bed soon, just reading some of them diary entries from last year. Some were down, but a lot of them were really up, so I think that works out pretty well. :) I think I'm coming up to about my 200th diary entry maybe tomorrow or the next day, so Wow! Well, a lot of progress has been made in keeping regular diary entries at least. Ok, sleepies…
