Finally Out and About Again

I’m happy to say that my back has steadily improved since my last post, and I am now at the point where I don’t constantly feel it, although if I do much of anything it still steadily starts tightening up. Still, I’ll take what I can get and be happy that I can function in…

Big Changes

Things have changed significantly here in Perth since the last time I updated this blog, and I am happy to say that almost everything has changed for the better. First and foremost, I resigned from my job last week. Most of you know that I was not happy in the job; it just wasn’t what…

No England Next Week

There’s been quite a few developments since I posted last; some are good, some aren’t quite so good. On the good side: James was here for the weekend. It’s great to see him normally, but it was even better to see him standing on the doorstep this time because I really just needed him here…even…

Another Day, Another Doctor’s Visit

Today was day 3 of my half-days work week, and I can’t say that it went as well as the first two, when I managed to make it nearly a full half day before having to go home from the pressure that built up in my back after sitting upright for 4 hours. I even…

Going a Bit Crazy

I think I have to count this weekend as one of the longest I’ve ever had. I wanted to get out of the house so badly, but it’s sadly obvious that I can’t do that very well. Just being cooped up for the entire week had me feeling a little stir crazy on Saturday, and…

Ribena’s Officially Gone

I got a call from the insurance company yesterday, telling me that Ribena’s officially been written off. They didn’t state exactly what damages caused her to be written off–I’m sure I’ll find out eventually–but it was probably just too much to fix with her being smashed in from both ends. Plus, the assessor pointed out…

The Aftermath of the Accident

Here I am, lying in bed at 10.30am on a Wednesday morning. Yes, at this time, I would normally have a computer in front of me, but I’m generally dressed in something other than PJs and sitting in the office with Henry. But then again, this week hasn’t been normal. I mentioned in my last…

RIP Ribena

My entry entitled “A Fantastic Time in Byron, Part 2″ is still half-written, and is going to remain that way at least until this post is finished, since l’affaire Ribena is a much more pressing issue for me at the moment. After some deliberation on whether I needed a car in Perth or not, I…

A Little Bit About Perth

 So, I’ve been in Perth for about 6 weeks now. As I mentioned in my previous post, the thought of coming over to Perth, 1,800 miles from any other sizable city and closer to cities in Asia than those on the east coast of Oz, was a bit daunting given the circumstances. By no means…

The Massive Photo Post

Even though it took me a long time to feel up to updating this blog again, I continued to upload photos, since it’s generally a pretty mindless activity. I’ve finally made it through my entire backlog of New Zealand pictures, meaning that after this post, there will be no more of the scenic beauty of…

About

I'm Kristin, a Texan born to an American father and English mother. I've been living in Australia since 2008. My first plane flight was when I was three weeks old and I've been hooked ever since. I never feel quite right unless I have a plane ticket (to anywhere, whether it's Sydney or Singapore) booked in my name!
