ONE DAY - 05.06.14
One lousy day of work left. I can't effing believe it, and I can't wait. Another fairly shitty day work-wise. Just far too much going on, we're short staffed two secretaries, my boss is offi...
TWO DAYS - 04.06.14
Two lousy days of work left. Let's go already, I just want it over and done with. Tomorrow we are doing a big farewell lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant. I am feeling (only slightly) guilty...
Three - 03.06.14
Three days of work left. Today was very busy and I held on by my finger tips. Said goodbye to Renee from accounts. That made me teary. Not sure what I want to eat for dinner, but I'm pretty...
Four - 02.06.14
Four days of work left. Got absolutely hammered with work today, including some from the senior partner, simply because my desk looked neat and he assumed I had nothing to do! Actually, I spent...
Sundee - 01.06.14
I really am sleeping like shit. Waking up with an aching neck, never feeling rested. Horrible dreams last night that I was being beaten and then chased by a rapist. Dragged my ass out of bed...
Saturday - 31.05.14
Just a brief entry before I crash out in bed. Today I got up around 8am and rode my bike to Westfield and back (26km/16.2 miles). While I was there I bought a top to wear in the evening ($12) a...
Five - 30.05.14
Five more work days. This time in one week, I will be roaring drunk at the pub. I just want it all over with, to be honest. I'm flattered, but I don't really enjoy the fuss. I am sick to deat...
Six - 29.05.14
Six days of work left. I am overwhelmed by the office manager's efforts to organise a farewell lunch for me, plus drinks at the pub that night, on top of the casual drinks I had invited everyone...
Seven - 28.05.14
Seven days of work left. I am feeling impatient now, just wanting it to be over. At least tomorrow is Thursday, the worst part of the week is over, and it's the downhill run to the weekend. My...
Wary - 27.05.14
Dad politely texted me tonight and asked if he could call me. I texted back that it was fine. I mean, sure, Dad. You were meant to call me over two weeks ago to discuss your wife sending me cr...
Nine - 26.05.14
Nine days of work left. Am feeling anxious today, because M is so slow at feeding me information. I want to know what date I am leaving. I won't risk going ahead and booking something, because...
Time - 25.05.14
It's time to stop grumbling over my parents' failures. I am old enough to forge my own way in life (and have been old enough for some time now). I decide how much bearing they have on my life. ...
Could be worse - 25.05.14
I feel as though things are so unfair. I am missing out on so much, I am wasting my life sitting in this stinking house, etc. But it could be so much worse. I will only have to wait 11 or so m...
Ouch - 23.05.14
Last day working with my best-work-friend today. We shed some tears when it came to home time (which was actually closer to 7pm, and not 5pm). God, I will miss her. She is on annual leave for ...
Oh Ok - 22.05.14
Had a fairly crappy day. One of my solicitors got her knickers in a knot over a sale of business that was settling today when she realised that she had no idea what she was doing or how to actua...
Twelve - 21.05.14
Still here. Twelve days of work to go. Shipping out two more boxes tomorrow. Or the next day. The order form said that placing your delivery order after 2pm meant it automatically gets bump...
Saturday - 17.05.14
I have, without thinking about it, spent too much money this weekend. Doesn't really matter, though. Got a new hair straightener (can't remember if I mentioned this already - it was $68, marked...
Fifteen - 16.05.14
Fifteen days of work remain. My close friend at work is very sad that we only have five days left together - she will be in Hawaii for the last two weeks that I am there. That's actually why I ...
Seventeen - 14.05.14
I am in a world of pain after pump class last night. I used my same weights the entire way through, except that I bumped up my bicep weights in line with what they suggest (you can use any weigh...
Eighteen - 13.05.14
Eighteen days of work left to go. I handed in my formal resignation letter yesterday. So I got an email from M, at 4:30am his time. Don't be mistaken, there have been other small emails here ...
Loathing - 12.05.14
Full of self loathing today. Beating myself up because I am inconsiderate, rude, mean. It doesn't take much to be a nice person, and I do try. I don't know what my problem is where I have to r...
Sad - 11.05.14
It's Sunday, so what else is new? Except this time I am sad at receiving this email from my step mother, which is completely unfounded and out of the blue after not hearing from her for a month:...
20 - 09.05.14
I am not at work today, I am getting picked up in an hour or so to go to the airport, then off to Townsville for a wedding. Which means .... Only twenty days of work left. And of course, I do...
21 - 07.05.14
Absolutely floored by the stupidity of the woman I work with today. And trust me, she does some stupid stuff every damn day, so this is a big thing for me to say. Among other things today, sh...
22 - 06.05.14
Twenty two days of work left. Hammered by a disgusting migraine today. Loss of vision, numb hands and face, inability to speak clearly. It hit me at 8:30am, right at the time I am meant to st...
Book Description
This story is about my life with M.
M and I met on another online diary site in around 2006. He was in New York, USA and I was in New South Wales, Australia. We formed a friendship and spoke nearly every day, whether online or on the phone.
Towards the end of 2008, we realised that we had become more than just friends, and we made plans for me to travel to the US in 2009. So I did.
We spent 6 months in New York, before moving to New Mexico. We got married in New Mexico and I had to return to Australia shortly after.
M followed me to Australia over 4 months later, in mid-2010.
M has now returned to the US, and I will be following him in October 2013. We are going back to New Mexico, where we have a friend to live with at first and a storage unit full of our stuff. We plan to head back to New York to settle within a few years.
