OUT OF THE WATER!

Well i think this week was back to normal week as my grandparents were now gone. And then back to normal day for a lot of brisbane peeps as hopefully the worst of the floods is now over, hopefully for more than 30 years this time.
So how to describe normal? Well to me being out of the home alot is going back to the normal i had at uni, so i guess it's still normal now right? :)

Well on monday it was mel and me hang out day :) We were on a mission today and it was to help clean brisbane. And you know what they had on the news was to like wear long slevved shirt and pants. so i went to find shirt that wasn't a good going out one, and ended up looking like a blanket, as the only one i could find was one of dad's old shirts. Which i ended up taking off as it was just a tad bit warm. So me and mel's first stop was to get food :) Then off we went to go clean. we had no real idea of where to go, so we were heading to rocklea first, but then ended up going to jindalee to go help a school clean up, at first we went to the wrong school, but then we found the one and it looked as if everything was taken care of, lots of people there.



So next stop was Graceville, and there we found the place were u register for helping out, and they like send you out to places and me and mel got sent out to victoria ave. i think. Anyways our job was to get all the flood damaged stuff that was from the house now on the foot path to the dump. So there was a heap of lifting involved and alot of moving of personal bellongings. I don't think it was till now that the floods really sank in for me. It was so heart breaking to see how much stuff was destroyed by it. Clothes, books, fridges, files, memories all lost because of water and mud. And to think that we depend so much on water to live and yet it can also destory lives too both really and metaphorically speaking. Kinda scary...

And boy the water did get high, some places we went passed the water would have been way over our heads . Also as we worked away, the smell IT STUNK soooo bad, there's not a word smelly enough to describe it. All that i can say about it is that when the wind carried over the smell of chlorine, it smelt like heaven comped to stinky flood smell. Will never forget it.



Bout 3hours later the job was just about done and so me and mel went off to go get ready for tonight as we were going to go bowling, with a few more mates. So excited Bowling, haven't done that in a while. Got cleaned up and ready at mel's along with jess who was with us.Also i got a bit of my hair crimped by mel :P.
Then when sam, tam and bredan came we set off to the logan hyp to go BOWLING. That was until they told us that there were no free lanes and sent us packing :/. But never mind lets go to the one near Garden city. And again full :/. IT'S A MONDAY NIGHT WHYYYYY? So we didn't go bowling :(








But then we had dinner at a place called the beach house. Me and sam the two younger ones played snap with the costers :P hahaha cause thats how we roll, And there was an xmas party there for some reason, and it seemed like quite the party, like you couldn't hear yourself think from all the screaming, and they were inside and upstairs :P. Then afterwards we had COLD ROCK there ice cream is AMAZING i had's banana ice cream with skittles. Yeah i know weird :P.t'was good though ^_^.







So tuesday came along next and it was to the hyperdome with jonny :) Got pleasently surprised when he came pick me up cause i has presents for me from him :). Got 3 awesome books and a volleyball. I like surprise when they r nice ones :). Then we set off and when we got there we missed the movie, well just the adds but they didn't let us in so we got tickets to go c Guliver's travels in 3-D. Now lunch, went to maccas but they were running out of food so KFC and woo cheap burgers 2 zingers for $7.50. Had to nom it down quickly as movie was starting, got in just as the wooooo adds started -.-. But then came movie and it was really good, should all go see it :) So many good actors in it and woo it had catherine tate in it. :) and i swear there was a doctor who reference in there. Then afterwards we did a little shopping, i gots present for tomorow for matt :)Also ran into two of my friends in the dome. Again another great day!!!

Make way for wednesday now and was really excited bout this one. I was going to c a few of the uni crew who i haven't seem since end of year 1 uni. which is like AGES ago now. So off to the city i go, haven't been in the CBD for a while either. And when i got there is seemed like normal. Can't imagine the place with no people in it, like it did have last week.  Then off to the pancake manor i go, was a little early. i get like that. :P
Then there was jason so went in and got a table waitin for the rest to come, and eventually there was 9 of us. So great to spend the afternoon with them stuffing ourselves with AMAZING pancakes. Then we had an asian photoshoot at area 58, New experience and i couldn't breathe much from all the laughing. :P and the squeezing 9 people into a photo booth :P.












Next stop was Fat louies, and i gots a drinkie from jacki! :) THANKS! Also played 2 games of pool and the one-on-one game i had with jason, i actually won!!! WOOHOO! also saw brit for the first time in ages!! :) and russ too. Then off to chandler and i had no idea where i was going so i was just folowing instructions. Missed the bus cause as i got there it took off.  so waited for next then got droped off at carindale shopping centre. And next bus to get was the 250, finally found the stop for it, and there was two of them one to the city and one to somewhere pierey, gots confused didn't know which one to get. So i asked the 250 that was going to the city and he just shut the door in my face before i could ask. RUDE!!! waited 20mins and then the other one came and whew it was the one! :) 





Again had no idea where i was going and then when it came to my stop i was dropped off in the middle of long green grass in the dark all by myself and no body was answering the phone and was getting a litlle worried cause i was lost and in the dark and a thunderstrom was not far away. Felt as if i was going to get attacked or something, but then saved by jonny :) Got to the party safely and was blowing up balloons :) Was great to some of the student life guys/gals there :) even though there was only a small group of us. And then came the bithday man. The surprise was great!!!!! And the party great also, lots of yummy food and CAKE! :). swear i was going to have diabetes after today. :P




Coming home was the fun part, cause we didn't really know how to, managed to find us in the refidex just in time so we could b not lost anymore :) And when we eventually got to my street had so much fog over it, it really is an evil street, especially the haunted house, which actually has people living in it. don't know why they would want to, it's like a failing apart rusty old shed. :s. Serioulsy that place is CREEEPPY! :S every time i walk pass their a bit of soul gets destroyed.

Thursday the eventfulness ceases for a little while, just had fun with the sis playing xtreme volleyball, it's the kind on wet cement and no net :P, almost died from sliding like a penguin across the cement, was very slippery :P
And now today really quite. :) always good to have some downtime :)
One crazy thing though i've reached just over 100000 words for my stories i've been writing. Crazy!!! Might share bits with y'all one day soon :)

Nan and Pop are HERE 2010/2011 (Day 32-33) Leaving.

Thursday morning woke up the second day in a row to the sound of work ringing me up. So i'm like sure i'll work. :) since nan and pop, who were suppose to leave today aren't cause of the floods. Yaay was happy bout it though cause they get to stay longer XD.
Was a much quieter day than Tuesday at work, guess people have enough food from the panic shop to like last them years.

But then on friday the inevitable happened nan and pop were leaving today, and again abruptly woken up again. But this time is was to farewell them. I didn't feel to sad them leaving cause we had such a great long time together. And i definitely know they'll be back. Just now have to get back into normal....whatever that is. But i know a big part of it is me being all locked up in my room. Which i kinda feel bad about doing. but i like my room. :)

And now i'm still working on my Stoneycamp stories, and also 2 new songs. :) i just have this thing where i must have multiple things happening at once. it's just how i roll. :P

Nan and Pop are HERE 2010/2011 (Day 27-31) The big dark cloud

Saturday 8th
Wakes up at 6:55. gaa i has to get up!
Had work at 8:00 today and since our car was still broken down and we were suppose to get our funky new hire car at 6am, but to my luck it wasn't there.
So i had walkies. Lucky it wasn't raining though :).

I was express chick today :p hahaha. Was suppose to do 5hrs at the start, but then it turned into 9.5 hrs. O.O it's just so many hours. Around 12 i got really short winded...like not being able to breathe almost, so i was sent to rest and after a little while i was all okey dokey. And i though that was going to be the big problem of the day...oh boy was i wrong.

After i finished work, i was looking for our normal car totally forgetting that we had mr. hire car now. Dad called me over and told me to sit next to joshua cause he's been sick. When i sat next to him, he was so pale and really dopey, and i was scared. like what happened to him.

Was told the story dad went to put joshy in the car they both fell down on the slippery slanted cement, dad tried to soften joshy's fall, but he managed to smash his head on the concrete. And immediately concusion shot to my head of what joshy had.

Got home and immediately gave him a shower and got vomited over quite a bit. and then we took down stairs and then it got bad... I was lying next to him hoping that he'll be fine, then i noticed that he started to open and close his hand. I was like what are you doing joshy and i sat him up and then his eyes started to roll into the back of his head. And thats when i freaked out but i had to b there for him. Dad called the ambulance while we watched joshy make sure that he doesn't choke on tongue or choke on vomit. He calmed down for a little bit, until he got a second seziure and started to make clucking sounds and convulsing. major scary stuff :S
And i started to lose it tears were lost and i tried to stop but really couldn't. too many memories were arising from the last time this happened.

I felt a little better when the ambulance came and then too him into the van. Then i was called to then guide nan to the logan hospital, so we had an interesting journey but at least it took the horribleness off our mind for a bit. until we got to the hospital. Don't like hospitals even though u get better here, just going there is bad. But there he waas in bed with all sorts of wires going everywhere and him just lying there almost lifeless, but ok :)

Got home at around ten-ish while joshua stayed in hospital just to be looked after in case of any more seizures. Also didn't sleep much that night.

Sunday-Monday 9-10th
Next couple of days were just wet and we just waited around hearing bettering news about joshua.
Also the terrible wall of water struck toowooba and then the lockyer valley. feel so sorry for those guys.








previous pictures are of the mini flood us guys had. Nothin compared to everywhere else in the city and most of queensland. But still wooow.

Tuesday 11th
Joshy's coming home today.
Again i walked to work but this time i couldn't escape the rain. And boy did it rain today, such much so that it strated the panic as Brisbane is starting to flood.  ANd work, D: sooo many people it was like christmas only a different kind of panic, like end of the world panic.Was soooooo busy!!!
Then when i got a lift from dad my brother was back!!! XD was soo glad to have him home.




Wednesday 12th
OMGOSHH sunlight, beautiful, beautiful sun :) was so awesome to c it again. Also today the floodin Brisbane is getting worse, so many places are flooding, even my uni is starting to flood i think. Busses have stopped. and everybody is like leaving the CBD.Watching the news just started to become depressing. so much is going wrong for so many people. Back home was just looking after baby and also washing washing washing.

Had a fun in the arvo, just running around in puddles and i don't think there's a spot in the yard that doesn't have a body of water lying on it.  Also today could b the last day nan and pop are hear, but the way the city is flooding they maybe hear for a little while yet.




Havin fun outdoors


So green

I found something really cool on fb thanks for Ashely for that. Anyhoo it shows you pretty much all of your statuses from last year. And boy did it bring back tons of memories and lots of giggles, such a great a year it was.
Well have fun looking through them, good luck, especially the people that make it right to the end got a whole 470 to read i think :P.

PS i got lazy and didn't crop anything when i copied the screen. might have to open the first couple up in a different cause stuff might b covering it. srry :S
