Kadon and I are working now. It's nice. I never thought I would say I'm glad I have to work, but I am. It's hard to feel like you're doing anything worthwhile when you're sitting on a couch, or spending money cause you're bored... for me anyway... and I didn't know that about myself before. Learning, learning, all the time. I'm considering volunteering at the "Cat Protection Society". Yes. That is a real place. I laughed when I saw a sign for it, cause I thought it was a joke. I'm not particularly fond of cats, but I figure I'm definitely qualified and I heard they're always searching for volunteers, so why not scoop some more poop.
People are loving Kadon at work. I guess that's what happens when you're handsome and have been in retail for what feels like most of your life. The regional manager, and the CFO want him doing inventory work between the two stores (Doncaster and Chadstone) closest to us, but Kadon is vehemently against it as he feels like he's "doomed to be the inventory guy" for the rest of his life. He's just too good.
Dad is here, which is pretty cool. I guess something cool did happen. And Gran's here, too. AND she taught me how to make her famous chocolate cinnamon sponge cake. So three cool things happened.
Mostly it's just been nice being with family and old friends. Dad let me come with him to watch him jam with a couple of friends last night. Hearing them play and laugh reminds me why I have a connection to those weird old songs. I love them, and hearing them sing and play together gave me the most peaceful feeling I've had in a long time. Is it possible to feel the spirit while you're listening to old men rock-and-roll? Cause if it is, I definitely did. Or maybe it was just pure happiness. Either way, it was sunshine to my soul.
Dad's been cleaning out Gran's garage during most of the days... cleaning/looking at/reading stuff... same thing if you ask him. We haven't gone to the Vic Market together yet, but might be able to squeeze it in on Saturday. I guess the good thing about not getting a lot of hours at work is that we've both been able to spent a lot of time with Gran and Dad, though my rusty kitchen-skills (what little I had to begin with) caused some complaints at the start, so I decided to leave the cooking-experimentations until after they were gone. At least Kadon will eat just about anything as long as there's ketchup/tomato sauce (random thought).
I think I'll end here because I'm running out of boring things to say.
We love you and think of you often! (Unless you're a creeper just reading this... in which case now's the only time I've thought about you).
We're praying for you, Uncle David.

Love,
