she’ll continue on with the next two cycles. This drug is kind of toxic, but I’m told all chemotherapy is; and so Mum has experienced some nausea and weight loss due to the toxic effects of the drug. She assures me it is worth it though; she wants to buy some time; I asked her why when it makes her feel so ill, and she told me it was for selfish reasons, so she could spend some quality time with me, since we’ve been apart for so long; so while she is doing what she wants, I’ll be her advocate.
But then, s he had the audacity to turn around and suggest that I need to look after myself better! That she wants me to begin doing something for myself again, since I have been pretty much stuck to her side 24/7, ever since I got here. Some things just don’t make sense to me. I suppose she wants things to be like before I grew up; and then she can pretend that she’s looking after me... and being a mum.
I keep telling her that the point of coming back was to be with her... to actually be with her; but she says that she doesn’t want me to go to ‘mush.’
Now , that kind of hurt that she thought I was looking like I had gone to pasture, so I have decided to join a local gym that a friend of mine from my high school days runs. He’s determined to get me to hang with him again anyway, and Paul’s one of the few friends I can still count on from back in the day!
Mum rests in the afternoons, so I have decided to go to the gym at the times that she rests.

After the Christmas break, Silas was able to go back to work ; and not his boss, nor anyone there were aware he’d had another breakdown. The shift across to the Sodium Valproate has been a heaven sent change. I call these pills pretty pills. I actually started calling them pretty purple pills, but it got shortened to pretty pills.
‘Have you had those pretty pills Silas?’ I ask him, morning and night.
I don’t know who this new Silas is , but I really like him and I don’t mind having him around. He goes to work, goes to the PCYC, and comes home. On the days where I do morning shift, I either cook dinner or offer to go out with him... he likes to go out; which means we get on our bikes and head into town.
On the evenings when I am on, I tend to find a basic cooked meal awaiting me, or some take out when I get home.
He’s even managed to find himself a girl , who spends nights here on the weekends, with him! Ugh... I’m just glad they’re quiet. And I can completely understand why he lost his shit over Shae Leveritt, because she’s simply beautiful! And apparently she wasn’t so determined not to ever date him after all. I guess a million years isn’t actually that long.
My inheritance came through after my birthday, and we’re deciding on where it is we want to live . The money is sitting heavy in my bank account at the moment and despite the fact that I like the look of it there, I do need to make some wise investments with it as well. We need to move out of the house we’ve been renting for the last five years. I’d like to buy a house for us, but essentially it will be my house, not Silas’. This is after all my half of the inheritance, I won’t get another bout when Silas gets his cut, after he turns 25. I need to be careful with what I do with it. I therefore want to be happy with the house based on my own agenda and criteria. I’ll make my decisions regarding the right place for me, somewhere down the track... to be certain I’ve made the right choice!
Rachel... damn... Rachel left for Far North Queensland. I hardly ever hear from her; and I never see her. She may as well be a world away . Bitch... I miss her. There’s only so much emotional support you can get through email and facebook.
As for the dating? Total fucking disaster! I’ve managed three dates, and they were all the same. The moment they realised they weren’t actually going to get laid on that date, they
