February 13th + 14th

So the current list of my bites goes as follows;

1 x left foot on toe
1 x left foot / ankle
1 x right foot / ankle
1 x right calf
1 x left hand
2 x left wrist
1 x left elbow
1 x left forearm
1 x left upper arm
1 x right hand
1 x right wrist
2 x right forearm
1 x side of right foot
2 x right side of stomach

And this is after going for a whole month with TWO. Two whole bites on one of my arms. And then the night before last I slept in shorts and a vest top without the quilt on me whilst the door was open and also with a light on.. a total catastrophic chain of events which I believe led to all the bites. As normally I'm in leggings with fluffy socks, under a quilt, no light and door firmly closed. So... won't be doing that again, at least not while I'm in this irritating stuffy room with no air conditioning. I'm quite looking forward to being back in a nice hostel to be honest, expensive or not!

One of my eyes is also a bit fecked up at the moment, it has been since about midnight on Friday? The cheek around it is really swollen and the eye itself is all bloodshot, when it first went weird it kinda hurt but it doesn't anymore. Its calmed down a bit but its still bloodshot, semingly for no reason. I've decided its either because a) too much dust got into it whilst working on Friday or b) I got bit on my cheek / under my eye which made it swell up and affected the actual eye. I'm not quite sure which yet. But it seems to be getting better by itself so all is good.

Today is Sunday 14th February, which 1) means I've been away officially for a month and 2) its Valentines day! Well.. I don't know why I put that with exclamation, its not like anyone seems to care about it over here and I have no valentine anyway! But I've been away for a month and god it seems so much longer already! I can definitely say its not 100% what I thought it would be, and as you've read for the past week or two I've not been doing a lot, but either way - still enjoying it! If I was stuck in England somewhere with this little to do I'd probably be going stir-fry crazy but here, although its boring I'm still content, just because I'm in Australia I think! And I know that at some point I'll be heading off somewhere else where there will be loads to do so all is good and well with the world :)

Yesterday was another day of nothing, apart from the fact I think I may have eaten the most food in one day yesterday than I have since I got to Australia. I had noodles with baby corn things for dinner, it looked hilarious - I wish I'd taken a picture. I have come to the conclusion that I am losing weight, as my clothes seem to be fitting differently though the weight isn't coming off where I'd like i.e my hips - I have a denim skirt in my bag that fits exactly the same as it did when I left the UK. Bah. Either way, weight loss is a happy side effect of being skint and not being able to eat too much. Although I can't afford to buy any new clothes so maybe its not the greatest idea, whoops :p

I am bloody itchy, its driving me mad. I feel today shall be another day of me playing Super Mario World, a game I found on my external hard drive that I remember Michael giving me to me many moons ago. It made me really happy as its definitely something to keep my time occupied, however I'm completely stuck at the moment! No internet to help me through, gonna have to figure it out the old fashioned way... ouch.

I just discovered another bite on my right foot.. WTF?! Have now coated myself in insect repellent, fingers crossed it works! No more bites please!
P.S Just found two more on my side, that makes SEVEN-FECKING-TEEN! God help me..
