Bitter sweet.

It's been a few weeks since I last posted.

Reason being is that life has been pretty uneventful.

 Right now I'm counting down the next 3 days until I have 10 consecutive days off work.

Yewwwwww.

 To be honest it's a little bitter sweet.

Candice are I were supposed to be heading to Japan for a short holiday.

But alas, it wasn't meant to be.

The third party that we were going to be travelling with

had to cancel last minute due to passport issues.

Poor dude was born in a country that doesn't actually exist anymore so

getting that damn passport proved harder than first anticipated.

The whole trip has now been postponed.

Until when? Who knows.

 So while I'm thrilled to have time off work, we don't really have any exciting plans.

I few horrible suggestions include:

• Painting the interior of the house
• Unpacking more boxes
•  Mowing the lawns
• Wash Luna because she is starting to smell like a hamster.

Yeah, you recognise the bitter part yet?

 

To be perfectly honest with you, I don't see us achieving ANY of those.

(exception being the dog washing... I have an extremely 

sensitive sense of smell and dogs that smell like hamsters are unbearable)

We're way too good at procrastinating and much prefer

sleeping in, drinking late and other such gluttonous behaviour.

So there you have the bitter part.

 

The sweet part is due to:

 

 (a) not being at work, and

(b) my lovely and I are finally having a little engagement picnic

 

That's right folks.

One of us, who shall remain nameless, proposed last year.

The other said yes.

However, for quite some time it was a rather depressing subject for us,

given that we couldn't actually get married. 

>sad face<

But recently our lovely little neighbour island, New Zealand, legalised gay marriage.

Now, I know that it won't be recognised in Australia.

But you know what? We have been in this relationship for six and half years. 

We've loved and supported each other, 

grown and learnt from mistakes,

helped each other through grief,

and above all stayed strong.

So to you, the Australian government, I firmly raise my middle finger.

While you may not legally recognise it our vows, 

I dare you to tell me that my heart won't be married.
