This has been a long, tiring week. In every single sense. Spiritually, emotionally, physically. I'm pretty much drained. I don't feel I've had the support that I need to cope - but then again, I can really only rely on myself. At least I can control whether or not I let myself down.

And so the week ends sitting at Joy's house by myself eating chicken curry (without corriander and extra spicy). Rather alone, rather pathetic.

That being said I did spend most of the day with friends. We drove about an hour to get to the "beach", not a real beach, but more a tiny plot of sand. But I had fun, it was a lovely day. I felt slightly out of place, though. I only was invited when I was griping about having been cancelled on and therefore having no one to spend the day with. So I feel like I was invited out of sympathy, a charity case. I know it's not true. But at quarter to one in the morning and at the end of a rather horrible week, everything seems depressing.

So let's look at the positives, shall we? I've been accepted to UBC. The sun was shining today. I got to sit in the grass of my garden. I made Vicki happy by bringing her cookies and a card (she's in the final stages of finishing her degree and is working more or less nonstop). I had a cup of tea that I liked today. I had curry for dinner. I'm going backpacking through Italy and Greece in less than a month. I'm not as alone as I feel.

There are always upsides. Always, always, always. And to every single person that is reading this, I love you.
