Not really an update Update

Sorry that I haven’t written in here for so long. Yeah, been busy, and YEAH, I’m lazy. So there ya go.
Started my new job last week and then, after a full week’s worth of adjustments to a new job and riding that DogAwful Bus to work every day, we bought a car.
I’d no sooner attempt to explain to my ‘Merican friends and family what a Ford Falcon is any more than I’d go through all the details of what a Superannuation is. Neither would be terribly exciting, and once again… I’m lazy.
Jo did the research and scored us the deal of the century on this car, a ‘94 and in pretty damn good condition. 1600 bucks is a helluva deal for something as nice as it is, and she’s an absolute Rock Star for talking me into it.
“I dunno honey, somethings gotta be wrong.”
“Shoosh, it’s got one bad rotorythingy in the brakes, and that’s all you can find isn’t it?”
“But gas mileage… do you even call it that here?!? Petrol kilometerage? Fuel userupperage?”
“Shoosh, it’s a freakin’ STEAL.”
(mumbling) “…’cept for the dead kittens stuffed into the upholstery… and the swastika on the floorboards…”
“What?!? HONEY. Nothing is wrong with this car that you can’t fix in one afternoon with $100 in parts.”
“…chalk outlines in the trunk… bullet holes in the door…”
Yeah, so we bought it and we’re sooooooo happy with it.
My son started school, real school, last week too, and we’ve all just been running wild lately.
I’m going to do a photo piece, where I take my camera everywhere in a “Day in the Life of…” thing, and it’ll be cool.
Stay tuned.
