Picked up the new (old) car. Made it home in one piece. Since then it has had a few niggles. Using too much coolant. Might have a leak somewhere or a crack/split in a hose. Starter motor is on it's way out. Air conditioner belt is about to fail as well. Hoping it's that and not the power steering/alternator belt. Should be around $250 to fix all those shenanigans. It's a nice little bus. Has no power whatsoever but I'm not trying to be Peter Brock. Ang tells me to get a real job, get a motorbike and be done with cars/delivery jobs. I like that idea !
Andrew was/still is off guts. He blames Dad for breaking his new car. Has grandiose ideas as to what is wrong with it. I couldn't talk to him when I went up there. He tried starting on me and I just walked away from him. He then told me I was a "fuckin cunt" for taking parts from his car when I was leaving. Charming. He rang me 3 days ago and seemed a little better. Mum called Friday and told me he is still taking a long walk off a short pier. Linh is in total denial that he has a serious mental problem. I talked to her 5 nights ago and had to walk away from the computer as she was really boiling my blood. I think he has given up his full time job. Around and around the circle he goes again. Pretty sad to see.
Work has been ultra quiet this week. Sucks monetarily wise. Friday night I had to leave early as I felt sick as a dog. I have a bronchial infection at the moment. Hoping it's just that and NOT glandular fever. I get Ear Nose and Throat infections all the time (smoking helps !) but this time around I have the muscle aches and hot/cold sweats. My glands hurt as well. Fingers crossed. Taking antibiotics and feel somewhat better.
Paige is down for the weekend. She seems very reserved. Time will only tell what effect all this has had upon her. Sarah is still off with the fairies. She is seeing a specialist this week. She asked this question last night.
SARAH - Mum, Is New Zealand in Australia ?
