Thanks y’all…

As it often is, things come always at once. Lastnight my sister / bro-in-law had her first baby (Amelia – 5pd 5oz). We went in to see them. It was amazing the whole thing. She’s really beautiful. An Australia Day baby!

My mother will be coming out of hospital with her new metal hip next week. I offered to move back there for a few days to help out until she can take care of herself. So I’m kinda putting on a brave face and trying to push through. Other people clearly have bigger stuff going on. I originally told my mother / sister / bro-in-law about the Hep as they’re in the medical world and knew they’d be more understanding, but I don’t think I’ll tell them about the relapse. Keep it to my girlfriend, and you guys I spose. They don’t need to know.

All the while my bipolar’s been rapid cycling like a bitch since I got back from Port Douglas and off the anti-depressants, so things are far from stable at my end… and people can kinda tell from my face that something ain’t right. Esp when the Hep returning meant turning down alcohol on Australia Day. It was shameful! What does it mean to be Australian if you can’t get hammered and punch-on on Oz day?
