Soo..I'm home alone. Woot woot.
Heres what happened: A couple of weeks ago my sister discovered she had a tumour growing in the side of her neck (It was caused by a blocked gland or something) and she had to have an operation to remove it. No biggy, I wasn't too worried, since the tumour was benign.
However, my mum still wanted to go down to Gladstone (Where she lives, about 500kms south) to help her through 'this difficult time', which I was fine with.
Only problem was, she wanted me and my younger sis to come with her.
Personally, I don't like getting involved with anything medical. My mother had an operation when I was 9 to remove a cyst on her ovaries. One of those nasty fuckers that fuck up the hormone production in your body. During that time, my mum was a complete wreck etc etc. Basically, It wasn't very nice.
My dad (great bloke, and my personal idol) asked my sister and I if we wanted to go diving off the coast. My sister wanted to go, but I didn't. We've gone on around 10 dives in the past 12 months, and they're pretty much all the same. Go out to coast, get on boat, float out to reef, dive down, dive up, move boat, dive down, dive up etc. The best thing about it (imo) is the fact that I get to move around underwater, without haveing to come up for air.
I love swimming. Its really, really good fun. And I'm good at it. My family have always wanted me to pursue professional training for my swimming (And I've had offers from the local coach) but I've never really wanted to do it professionally. I'd much rather just have fun.
Anyway, long story short, my mum has gone down to see my sister, and my dad has taken my younger sis out diving on the reef. Which leaves me home alone. And its really, really great. I've had two lans with my mates, and I've been able to do whatever I want. At one stage I was completely nocturnal for about three days, waking up at 9pm, going to bed around 9am.
Only problem is, I'm running out of food and money =
