Here are some words

^^ I got to leave work early and caught this on the walk home from the bus. I think God sends me beautiful skies because he knows how much I love them.

It is now 9:00 pm, we are leaving tomorrow morning at 6:30 am to drive down and thru and throughout the Great Ocean Road, I must pack for two nights (which really means all my winter clothes, every pair of underwear I have, seven pairs of shoes just in case, and an emergency sock because who knows) and I thought to myself (what a wonderful world. jk.) WOW, this is a great time to blog.

I've not much to say, can you believe it? I finished my first week of full time work and it wasn't too brutal. An hour and a half commute gives me time to day dream about random strangers asking me to become part of an Australian modeling agency or helping out a homeless man by walking his cat and buying him a cheeseburger. (the cat. not the homeless man.) (all those things really did go through my head.) (no, I do not have any friends here.)

September has been the longest month of my life. Like watching tar melt. Or trying to pour solid molasses. IT DOESN'T MOVE.

Unless I am able to drive myself to a remote and scenic part of Aus, I am adventuring through the city which holds endless amounts of tiny shops and cafes that all hold decadent desserts and pastries and hot chocolates and cold chocolates and salami sandwiches (PSA SALAMI IS MY NEW FAVORITE MEAT) and I have to try all of them because they are there and I am there and I mean when will I every get to eat a really freaking good cheese pretzel and caramel hot chocolate? Probably all the time. But not in Australia.

I have eaten so many of the carbs this week I can't even keep track. Today I got home from work and realized all I'd eaten was ALL OF THE CARBS CONTAINED IN AUSTRALIA. So I had a few cookies and a piece of toast, and then I cried and then I had an apple.

One of these days I'll go for a brisk walk or something. But I'll probably not do that and just eat again and more.

Being here is hard because I really want with all I have to go out with my friends and laugh until my sides hurt and start coughing up a lung because of how ridiculous we are. And eat Panda Express too late at night. And watch too many movies. And just exist in the same room as my favorite people. Tonight I played Jim Gaffigan on my Spotify because I missed laughing really hard. Anywayz k don wit that.

I'll see you when I get home and post 5893--0 pictures of the GOR (Great Ocean Road. We're on acronym terms.)
