Don't have anything to do today except go for a Pokémon walk. William likes to play Pokémon on his phone but never gets a chance to except when we go together. I like to go for a walk and sometimes play on my phone when I do, so when we get the chance, we go together. It is kind of cold outside but I don't think it is too cold to go. Just have to wait and see if it rains.
Juanita might be coming over later for me to do some computer work for her. Not sure what time but she said sometime today. Since we never go far on our walks, I can get back if she shows up while we are out. Haven't asked William if he wants to go yet but I am sure he does. Kind of boring sitting around here all day.
We might go to Kingston tomorrow, to a church I was invited to. Not sure if we will make it or not as it starts at 9:00 in the morning and William sometimes doesn't get up early. Most of the time he does, but on occasion, he doesn't wake up until 9 or so. We will have to see how it goes tomorrow. I want to take him to McDonalds anyway as he hardly ever gets to go anymore and both Juanita and I do not have any money until I find some work. I have enough for the occasional visit though. Besides, with no money, $20 is not going to make a lot of difference in paying my rent.
I need to go down to Centrelink and see if I can get government help from then. Right now, they said I could not get it until December, which was fine with me at the time but I didn't think it was going to take this long to get a new job. There is just no work for what I do here in Tasmania and I have tried to get some other type of job but no one will hire someone with no experience and who is as old as I am. You won't know it but I have to step away for a few minutes. For you, it will be immediate, but the tone or topic might change while I am away and I wanted to warn you.
I'm back. It was days, weeks, maybe even years since I was last here. Or maybe it was 5 minutes. Even in that amount of time, I forgot what I was talking about so lets start anew.
Maeghan is in New Zealand. Been there for a few days now. I think she is having fun but I am not sure. I know she doesn't like the person she is rooming with and none of her real friends went with her. There is one boy but I don't know if he is one of her friends or if he hangs around with Maeghan. He has his own friends I am sure. I think he is a friend of Maeghan's best friend and that is how she knows him but hopefully, he is spending some time with her since the other friend is not there. That sounds way too complicated but the gist of it is I am not sure she is having as much fun as she could be without someone to hand around with.
I get pictures everyday and Juanita sends me pictures from their Facebook page for the group. I don't have Facebook so I can't get them. Maeghan mostly sends a picture of herself and she sent me one picture of a cookie shop but I am not sure why she did that. I don't recognize what it is or why she might have sent it. I do get to send messages back and forth each night so there is that. First time she has been away for this long or first time I can't really talk to her. There was the time Juanita took the kids away and I was unable to see or talk to them but that is old news. It does kind of relate to why I have not been able to find a job. I am sure I could go back to the mainland and get a job but then I would be an airflight away from them and if I did want to come back and see them, I would have no where to stay. Plus, I don't have the money until I work for a while so moving back to the mainland is not a good idea. I don't have the money to do it now anyway, so it is up to finding something here to keep me around.
I think Maeghan is going on the speed boat trip today. That's where they go out in a very fast boat and it does some tricks and things while they are there. I think it also shows them some things but you can't really see anything from a boat. It is more of the thrill of the ride that is the purpose. We have one just down the street from me, on the river. The Huon Jet Boat place. It takes you up the river and then goes real fast and makes some fact turns and stuff. I have never been on it but I see it sometimes when I walk down that way. It seems there are more people that go on it than I thought there would be. Guess it is one of the few tourist attractions around here so everyone that visits the forests down south stops in here and does that too. I have no idea how much it costs.
Did I mention that William and I might go to a church in Kingston tomorrow. I am pretty sure I did but in order to know that, I would have to scroll up and who has the time. There is another church just down the road from me that I have been invited to also. Not sure if I will be going to that one but I might. I have been looking for a new church to go to since I haven't been in a couple of years. I am not sure I will be welcome if I start spouting some of the things that I need to talk about but just for the people and being out of the house it would be worth it to try something new. And if that makes some cryptic thing come out, just let you know that I also write another blog about that. But I won't go into that here.
I have been trying to lose weight again. Trying the occasional fasting methods. I have found in the past that I can go a long while without eating so I thought I would try to reduce calories in this way. Right now, I am up to eating one day, anything I want, and then not eating for a day. I have lost three kilos in the past week that way but since I have 50 kilos to lose, it is just a start and will take a very long time. I am going to up the times to 36 hours on and off soon so we will see if that does any better. I know Maeghan was trying to lose weight and she did a really good job when I was doing all the cooking for her but we kind of fell off from doing Keto dieting and I am not sure if she was able to keep it off or not. I will try to start helping her again when she comes back and we will see how that goes. Kind of hard since I do not do all the cooking for her but maybe I can figure out a way to do it. Send food home with her or something. Again, it comes down to money as I am running out and I might have to stop eating all together if it gets any worse.
But I talk about that too much. It's a real downer but for now, it is the major focus of my life and therefor the kids life also. Once I find work, I hope to make our lives better but it cannot happen soon enough and I don't know if or how anything will change. I'll be able to find more friends I think, going to work or meeting new people and that will be better for everyone.
Suppose I should be going now. Maeghan will be back next week. I have to go pick her up at the airport as Juanita will not have a car for a while as hers will be in the shop. I don't know for how long but it will be a few days at least, I think. Not sure what she will do. I'd offer my other car but the brakes are shot on it and I have not wanted to spend the money fixing it before I have an job. Once again, I bring up that topic so I will end this before I become too maudlin. Yeah, it a big word. Look it up.
Until next time
