Midweek Madness

Wednesday turned out to be quite the night, and that was felt on Thursday as well. We ended up spending quite a lot of time at home, and only going to Hotel Bondi for a bit. Thursday was spent at home making lists, and at Westfield in Bondi Junction, grocery shopping. In the evening I hung out with a new friend for a bit, and when I came home, my flatmates were joking around so much that i dropped my laptop on the floor. My heart stopped for a few seconds and the world went black, until I realized it only has a dented corner, and is still working as well as ever. In other news, I was, once again, amazed by the weirdness that is Edgecliff. The shopping center totally reminds me of Heikintori in Tapiola back home, not a very charming place at all. And as I think I have stated before, it's filled with old people. Kind of like this forgotten suburban 70's hotspot.

Today I woke up extremely early, which no doubt had to do with the fact that I have a trial for a book cafe today, REALLY hoping to get that job! The fact that I was awake at 7am, made it possible for me to skype with my mommy, and we talked for about an hour, which was extremely nice. The only thing is, she had some news. My grandparents have apparently sold their house, and they'll be moving out in May, which is before I go home. This means I will never see their house again. I'm not really sure how to feel about this. That house has always been around, it's been a safe haven for each and every one of their kids, and grandkids. Most of us have lived there for at least a short while, and we have all spent a lot of time there growing up. My first reaction was to get a bit teary-eyed, but now I'm kind of indifferent to it. After all, it's only a house, and the real reason we've spent that much time there is my grandparents and the amazing feeling of safety they have provided us with, and the love they have shared with all of us. This will be the case in their new home too. I feel it needs to be said that they have been married for 60 years, which is quite remarkable in my book. I love you mommi&mofa.
