Baby Wars

 July 3, 2024

    I’m surrounded by a baby. He is loud and playful.  I like playing with him, but I don’t like it when he cries. 

    I don’t know if I want kids. I don’t really care either way. It just seems like so much work.

    We’re going to eat oranges once we get across the water. We’ll sit on the river banks and laugh about our journey through hell. Then we’ll build a healing bridge.

    I ain't got shit to say. We haven’t done too much since I’ve here. We checked out the beaches. We went on jogs. Mom became frustrated a couple of times. I didn’t like it. It felt like being attacked by a little kid.

    It’s been raining a lot. We’re going to Brisbane today. It’s supposed to be nicer weather there for the next couple days.

    Yoga and Pablo aren’t doing the restaurant anymore. Pablo is being a support worker. He’s being doing it for a while. He really enjoys it. 

    He earns more compared to when he ran a restaurant. He was the reason I started working with Mark and Jayne. He had recommended I try it out. 

    Yoga and Pablo are still trying to get their Australian residency. Yoga just got hired as a nurse.

    I’m really itching to record new music. I’ve been playing a lot of keyboard. It’s been pretty fun. I just wish I was better.

    It’s frustrating, because I’ve been playing keyboard since I was like 17. I go through fazes of playing a lot and then not at all. That's why I never progressed the way I did with guitar. 

    I got an email from the fraud protection yesterday. They said that they were going to reimburse me for the $350 that was stolen. I couldn’t believe it. I never thought I’d get that back.

    I also got my bond back from my housemates. It was $560. That was good news.

    I was worried that I wouldn’t get it back, since I stayed for less than six months. I couldn’t remember if that had been one of their requirements. I guess it wasn’t. 

    The only stressful thing left is about my luggage. I don’t have any checked baggage inclusion on my flights from Brisbane. 

    We’ve been looking into it. Mom’s friend said that I might have to wait 24 hours before the flight to purchase a luggage inclusion.
