Fuck you, Liberal Party.

I find it hugely fucking ironic that the man going on and on about how Labor is killing our education system is the SAME FUCKING MAN WHO SHUT DOWN THREE SCHOOLS IN ONE FELL SWOOP!

ONE OF THEM MINE.

FUCK YOU, BARNETT, YOU OPPORTUNISTIC COCK STOPPER!

What I've been up to...

Well. This has been a nutty week for me. I'll just do point form because, damn, I'm too tired to compose this post properly.

- Been spending time with Evamaria (shirasade) and it's been awesome! I think my favourite moment so far was when I was showing her my Doctor Sim and his TARDIS House, and I was pointing to the church organ and said, "You know, the episode where he sticks his organ in the thing..." Okay, maybe you had to be there. I laughed.

Took her to see Penguin Island today, and my Dad didn't even check if the ferry was running or not. So embarrassed! We looked at a few different beaches up and down the coast. On Saturday I took her to the Fremantle Markets. I was most disappointed to discover that my little shop with Egyptian trinkets is gone. I nearly bought SO MUCH STUFF. Thankfully I controlled myself. I did buy new paintbrushes and paint for the Doctor painting. Tonight, I gave Eva a manicure with the new nail polishes I bought. (I bought some new bottles, yes, I'll be reviewing all of them!). I'd given myself one earlier, and my nails, apart from the bits where I smudged them during my nap, look pretty fucking good.

- I managed to hurt my knee rather badly about three days ago. On Friday. I stepped outside and I didn't want to ruin my bedsocks, so I slipped on some platform flip-flop things. I misjudged my step and tripped on the bottom step of the back steps (big hard concrete things) and managed to tumble UP the steps. I rolled down them, moaning and whimpering, and the first thing I did once I limped inside was to wrap up my knee. It's been wrapped up for three days. I suspect walking on it for so long on Saturday probably wasn't the wisest move, and then walking on it some more today... but it was nice to be active for a change.

- Tonight I made some gluten-free double-choc muffins. Eva walked past, grinning happily with manicured fingers clutching the warm muffin saying "You take good care of me." :D I like to think I'm a fairly good host!

- Painting was SO cathartic the other day. I forgot how much I missed it, and I was shocked how much easier it is than digital painting. I was also shocked at how I haven't lost any of my skills - they've actually *improved*. It's so exciting to know that my talents haven't shrivelled or gone anywhere. It's really amazing to think that I just keep getting better each day, the more I work on things. I know that seems obvious to most people - you work on a skill, you improve. But creativity can be so fickle and frustrating. It really can send you half-mad. And when you have mood stability problems like I do, even little things like getting better at what you do keeps you living each day.

- Mirena is really fucking with my moods. One minute I'm happy, the next I'm thoroughly depressed and panicky. I don't feel normal anymore. I think I have to get this fucking implant out of me. All I do is bleed and bloat and hurt and feel depressed. My gynaecologist was all perky and smiling and "Everyone has problems with Mirena to start off with! Everyone! You'll need to wait six months before we know whether it'll work for you or not." I'm scared I won't find something to help me with the endo. All these hormone treatments just seem to make me feel horrible, and what can I do about that? :(

- Does anyone want to go to the zoo with me? I wanted to go with Eva but I'd hurt my knee and wasn't feeling too good. I really wanna see some animals. And AQWA. I have to go there one of these days.
