Oh. Great.

My one sensible flatmate, the one I wanted to keep, has had the bad timing to fall in love and wants to move in with her boyfriend… this is going to make what was an already difficult situation impossible. Imagine showing people around a flat… in the middle of winter… with another flatmate on the way out, and not quietly. At least I know when this one is actually moving, so I can start advertising.

The really annoying thing is that this is taking up most of my time and energy, and I have a lot of other things I need to be doing. There’s a conflict between short-term survival and long-term survival.

I was buying some cleaning products from Karori, and the Woolworths was trying to get rid of old pre-shrinkage blocks of Cadbury chocolate, the Creme Brulee flavour. Poor thing, lying there in stacks, thinking “How can I be the least popular flavour? What about Fruit & Nut, no-one likes that sucker!”
