Hello.

I've been gone for a bit.

I've been sick for a little over three weeks now. I have been taking medicine for a few days and it should be gone by next week - when I can finally get up and do stuff. I hate feeling so tired and phlegmy all the time; plus, my cough sounds like an old dog's.

I haven't been arting much, but the lovely Fleur has agreed to model for me, which is very exciting. I only hope I can do her justice. When I am better I will be painting like there is no tomorrow, believe me.

I now work 8 hour shifts two or three days a week at the pizza place, sometimes a little more, so that is providing me with money and not really getting in the way of anything, because I work when everyone else is at uni. It's good. Still, to get payments from Centrelink, I have to be seeking work and reporting to them every fortnight. I will be applying to places that would never accept me - engineering companies, law firms, makeup counters. This should be fun, especially if I get lucky and actually score a better job.

In a couple of weeks, I will be moving out with my dearies Nina, Podgy and Paul. We have a big house in a good location for minimal rent. We're incredibly lucky to have found this place. Everyone should come over, all the time. We are having a Night of the Living Dead housewarming/Nina's birthday/Podgy's birthday party at the start of August. It will probably last for a week.

Now excuse me... I have 88 deviations to look at.

Love meg.
