Weirdness Attack Yesterday

I had several "weirdness attacks" yesterday.

The first happened when I was at Wallsend Plaza eating a Chinese meal. All the sounds and sights of the dining hall area seems to crowd into me at once. I felt extremely crowded and confused. I felt like this last Sunday when I was at Broadway Plaza.

The second happened over at Jenny's. I was changing the filter on her water jug. I was just standing there, and suddenly confused about what I was doing. Jenn got me to sit down and do nothing for a while.

Scared about this. Jenn reckons it's just lack of sleep. I hope so.

Spencer

I bumped into Spencer at Wallsend yesterday.

I've been having doubts about going to QC, and Spencer said that he wasn't going to go now due to depression. Shit, not good. I haven't made up my mind yet to go or not (tomorrow I'll decide) but I told him that if he went, I'd go too (and I will).

Maybe a week away from Newcastle'd do us both good.

Broke again

Somehow I miscalculated how much I had in my bank account.

Went to buy some stuff down at Big-W in Jesmond yesterday and the bank bounced my eftpos card. I cut out the packet of Winfield Golds (which I was buying for Jenn) and it went through. That means I have less than $10 in my account + any change (about $9) until next Wednesday.

Not sure how I stuffed up on this, except that I've been a bit confused lately. Maybe I shouldn't have bought that copy of BESERK on Sunday, which was $35. At the time however, it looked like I had $140+ in the bank.

Oh well, lots of time at home, I guess. At least I have plenty of pet and human food.

Silly Signs

Yesterday while at the Library I borrowed The Best of the World's Stupidest Signs, and believe me - they have some really dumb ones. Here's four of the best:

Argh!

Can't believe that I just missed my appointment with my counsellor down at uni!

I had it at 4pm, and listed on my computer calendar (which is normally OK). I normally put a 2-3 hour advance alarm on. For some reason I had a 5 minute alarm, and must have misread it this morning.

Phoned and got a new appointment, but I feel like an idiot. That session would have really helped.

DUH!
