Queer as Folk

I *think* we started season 5 tonight here in Perth.

Whilst there are many things in it I could talk about, as I sit here afterwards the thing that strikes me the most is how unaffected I was by the break-ups and make-ups that were involved.

I see this as a 'good health' indicator - I can now watch it with emotional unattachment, even though it brings things to mind.

The only content comment I will make tonight is my astonishment at Justins' hypocracy (yeah, I know it's spelled incorrectly - just shoot me!)

Day Off
... was busy, as planned. Some tasks were productive, others weren't :(; I really dislike knowing that certain information is available but being unable to obtain it myself - information that will assist me make a decision. Finally decided to break the bank and ring my lawyer, but they couldn't provide it either (and the suggestions they made were, frankly, unlikely to be sucessful). I was rather surprised they didn't have access to this information as they have a debt collection unit.

Identity Theft
... has hit my family. Thunderbolt went to get his drivers licence only to be told he had to pay his outstanding fine, of $140.00 first. First question - what outstanding fine? Seems somebody gave his name at a train station when caught without a ticket. He has to either get his name cleared, or pay the fine, before he can get his drivers licence. I'm not being a blinkered mom when I say it wasn't him. He has proof from school that he was in class at the time the 'offence' occured. The information he has provided them will be reviewed and a decision made as to whether the fine will be waived/removed.
This has been a bit of a blight on his plans for Leavers Week ... which starts for him on Wednesday :(


Made it This Far
His graduation from High School is tomorrow night.... phew, made it. .. one child made it through the first and second levels of education with child and both parents still alive!
