So this is the New Year...
(just quoting Death Cab for Cutie at you there...because I have to, really!)
Anyway - Happy 2008 to all - hope it is a ripper year.
My New Year's Eve was relatively quiet, due to the insane heat (it was still 41C at 6.30p.m. on NYE - and if still felt pretty darn hot at midnight too) - so just hung with some friends in air conditioning ;)
Being at home is all the awesomeness that I expected, and I am also as tired as I expected - I am cranky that I am sleeping away too much of my vacation, although I am still having enormous trouble getting to sleep at night - wretched insomnia/jet lag (my sister gave me an anti-insomnia CD for Christmas...hee!)After the never ending journey back home (getting to Entebbe airport via ridiculous traffic, Entebbe to Addis Ababa to Dubai to Singapore to Melbourne to mix-up-with-rides-home at 3.00a.m.) I made it back here (and didn't even get slapped into quarantine, as my boss and I were vaguely concerned about with the Ebola outbreaks in Uganda).
Home is just as good as I remembered it, Mum is still an awesome cook, my family still rock and Phoebe is still adorable (and now minus the broken leg from the last time I saw her). Much of the holiday has been taken up with catching up, eating, sleeping and a bit of sales shopping. We have had to contend with killer weather - incredibly hot, but on the plus side, whilst sheltering in people's air conditiong, my poker skills seem to have vastly improved and I have one two games (pity we don't play for money!!)
Not much real news, but just trying to post more this year. I don't do New Year's resoultions any more - I have the (probably quite usual) record of never keeping them, so I just don't bother any more. But I will try to post more regularly...
And so...HAPPY NEW YEAR!
(disclaimer - I tried to post this several days ago, but blogger doesn't seem to like me from home...bummer)
