Day 39: Umm.... what?

So it appears that I have a new flatmate.

There's a lot of backstory that hasn't gone into this blog, but basically somebody was going to move in and then I thought they weren't going to (due to various circumstances) and then I came out of the shower and here was that person.

So... huh.

One thing that I forgot to mention yesterday was that we had dragonfruit for dessert, which was a fascinating experience. It's wildly pink and green on the outside, but white with black seeds on the inside, and tastes like... slightly sweet water.

Work was nice and uneventful; I managed to check a number of things off my list, including the dreaded website runthrough. Well, okay, the site still needs work, but I thought I'd let the webperson deal with the current changes before figuring out what else I need to dump on her. The mouse didn't make any more appearances, but I have named it Max. Short for Maximillian Ralph, I think, but I'm not sure what its last name is. Remember those books about the mouse and the motorcycle?

The dictation-author (I really, really need to give people code names) came by after lunch and we got through ten pages of material. That's single-spaced, which I think is not a bad speed.

Later I went down to Kits to check out a craft/hobby store, but by the time I got there it was closed (boo). I'll have to try again at some point.

One of my flatmates wants to go up the Grouse Grind, and asked if I might be interested - his girlfriend will come, too, but she might take the cable car up rather than hike it.

THE MOUSE AND THE MOTORCYCLE!!!

Tamzin, when I was little, I read as much as you. There was a period of time of about 2 months in sixth grade when I claimed I had insomnia and only slept 3-4 hours a night consistently because I stayed up reading. It was awesome, and I wish I could go back to those days. you are lucky and never left them! :)
