Last night Katie and I ordered butter chicken, painted our nails and watched Precious, such a flippen sad movie. We had tons of candy but the movie was not the kind of movie where you can eat and watch.
Today the plan was to drive up to Turoa and board for a few days, but unfortunately there was a massive thunderstorm Friday which busted windows and caused a house to catch fire! There was hail and everything. Pretty wild. So all that said, Turoa was closed due to bad weather and is probably going to be closed for a few days. And I want to stop there as it would break up my driving to Bay of Islands, its kind-of on the way.
Man, I woke up so early, annoying because I could have slept in. Instead I went trail running, it was awesome, I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow! So my new plan is to leave Monday morning and hopefully Turoa will be open by then, if not I'll just drive as far as I can to Bay of Islands. I'm not sure I could manage all 12 hours in one go... But I am a Jackson so odds are I can do it.
Went for coffee with Kate at McD's. Good times, got some new jeggings and stuff too. I'm so bad at spending money. This has to stop! When we got home we watched the Office and had another coffee. Such caffeine addicts!
I'm thinking a lot about going home lately. I'm a bit freaked out about living with my parents because I'll be 24 in December. But, the plan is to start looking for either a job in BC and moving out west OR get hired full time at TOH and look for a house in Ottawa. I so want to just keep travelling, but I also am keen to get into real life as well. Buying a house would be a solid investment and if I want to travel more I can just rent it out. This is why I get freaked out, I think WAY too far in advance. Snap. One thing a time, I still have 6 weeks to chill out!
LOVE!
12 hrs? Pfft, you can do it. (I know this because I've read your next blog post about it.)
