New Toys!

Today I got a new cell phone, David got a cable box to play with, and Jenny got a new house phone. We all had new things to play with! We also finally managed to track down a priest for the final signature needed for my passport. Tomorrow we are going to Stockholm to visit the Irish Embassy. I'm hoping that I have all of the paperwork in order.

School starts Monday. I can't believe it's almost the end of summer already. We've been running around like Chickens with their heads cut off for the last couple of weeks. If it wasn't buying something, it was looking for something, or visiting someone for a signature, or trying to organize the apartment. Speaking of organizing, we got a compliment the other day from Peter. He said that the room looked the same as it did when David lived here despite adding all of my stuff to an already very full room. So our organizing did pay off.

Yesterday we painted and then baked some cookies. It was only David, Peter, and me since everyone else decided that they had better things to do. We still had fun making then painting flowers, stars, and feet. David made several red stars. Something about a political statement. Unfortunately with this latest round of baking we've completely filled up our portion of the freezer. I think we have like 2/3rds of this VERY small freezer. We probably should only take half though since we do share a room even if we do pay 2/3rds of the rent or something. If we use much more than half it doesn't give Jenny any room to store anything! And two people who are sharing shopping shouldn't need any extra room! It isn't like we need to store twice as much meat as before! If we store much more we'll be even less able to find things!

I hope I get my passport soon. I want to go get a Personal Number, start working, get a bank account, etc. I really want a bank account so that I can pay my own bills. Right now David is paying them and keeping track of how much I owe him. I hate owing people money, makes me feel like a free riding lazy person. Oh well. I'm doing the best that I can with my available resources.

I'll try and remember to update more often. Right now I've been busy constantly and when I'm not busy, I'm busy resting and relaxing! Those are important too!
