today, a day like most other days
well, i wish i had something totally wonderful to report. woke up, discovered that kylie minogue has breast cancer.
then got the call from the hospital to take cherry back in for another check up. this was not a bad thing as we were a little disturbed that the doctor yesterday said "wait another week, blah blah blah" (that is doctor speak, when they don't know shit). so we were back at mona vale hospital for another 2 hours, the best part was being on the top floor looking out to sea at the raging ocean (it has been raging!!! for 6 days now. i have surfed 5 of them). the good news was the doctors think that cherry is on the upward climb back to health. although she is still in huge amounts of pain.
then it was home, where i painted, fixed the fan, cleaned some paint brushes, vacuumed the house, etc. etc. i am finding that being a home owner is huge amounts of work, but with a certian amount of until now was unknown pleasure.
then i printed a resume, and was off to a job interview with a fencing company. in the end, i don't think i am going to get the job, as the fact that i am going to school part-time doesn't jive to well with the company. their loss, and they also were offering way too little money, which after tax is silly. i am better off on the dole, which i am considering applying for tomorrow. fuck it. money is money.
then, came home, grabbed the wetsuit and surf board, and headed out to collaroy. the sea, as mentioned earlier has been huge. collaroy is the only place to surf in about 100 kilometers north or south. that means lots of people and good long boarding waves. i had an unreal time. i actually surfed until well past dark. i just couldn't bring myself to get out of the water. i would catch what was to be my last wave, loved it, then went back for another. that was ongoing for about 40 minutes. the sun sets these days at around 5:12pm, i got out of the water around 5:45. i have been surfing better these last few days than i have in a long time, well about 2 years ago, just before i got diagnosed with cancer. so at the end of this blog, i do have something wonderful to share. the surf.
as for employment. i am still looking. any suggestions would be appreciated.
