Cass, can you believe that there have been times that waking up every 1.5 hours would have been comparatively fantastic around here! I feel bad for you, it sucks the big one. L.A. is getting much closer! Excited or nervous?

I seem to be riding a wave of freebies - my father bought over a microwave for us because it was $700 here and only $230AUD, then he wouldn't take any money for it. Then our friends bought round takeaways the other night and they wouldn't take money either. Now today I went to pick up half a cattle beast of meat from mum and she won't take any bloody money either! Not that we can't use the money for other things, but I feel guilty!
