and suddenly an update!

Well its been a good chunk of the year since my last update (over 9 months I believe) and since I was feeling bored but not particularly tired at 12:50am I thought I would write something to amuse myself for a few minutes before I head of to bed.

Well quite alot has happened in that time including being the sickest I've probably ever been (had pneumonia) which was kind of exciting in an "omg that's not good" sort of way. Oh also I stopped going to classes again so and thanks to the law change I no longer qualify for student loans until I pass 3 or so papers. On a positive note the whole health implosion and a flatmate I relied on quite heavily moving out made me come to the conclusion I really am not currently motivated enough to do anything productive with my life including basics such as basic management of cystic fibrosis so I decided to move back to my parents home in Napier. 

So that came to be at the end of October which while definitely the right decision did seem like it would end my hope of paying off my credit card which I had gotten down from owing 3k to owing 1k. So after paying somewhere between 1500-2000 for a moving company and plan tickets and canceling sky t.v. in advance which I had ordered midyear and had a one year contract on I was pretty much maxed out again. Thankfully on a recent trip to Nelson to stay with my grandparents they kindly offered to give me an advance on the .... ah.... 'inheritance' (for the lack of a better word) they have set up for their grandchildren to get around their 23rd birthday , so sometime next year, which means I've finally paid it off. The holiday was great as a whole as well.

I must say that being back in Napier is great. The weathers usually warm enough that I don't need any form of heating, I've got my own space as I've taken over the downstairs lounge which means I can generally ignore the none family members pretty easily and I don't have to fight over the t.v. Also I quite possibly have the best parents in the world so its great being back home and having someone to talk to and go for walks with not to mention someone to drive me around (though I'm learning to drive again which after the first couple of goes hasn't been to horrible). Also I love being near my cat again as I've missed having one around the house and the dogs good motivation to get off my ass.

Well that's all for tonight, hopefully I'll do another update next week and I'll try to get back into the habit of doing one every week as it was amusing to go back and read the ones from the start of the year, I'm now beginning to understand why people write diary's.
