Well, Chris left for recruit school yesterday. I won't see him for three months. It was so hard letting him go yesterday, and saying goodbye. I was a little teary at the induction ceremony and when he actually went with the other recruits to the bus, but I was ok. It wasn't till I got to work and I was more or less alone with my thoughts that I felt the intense wave of lonelyness, knowing he wasn't going to be waiting for me when I finished work, and that he won't be for the next three months. I don't know how I made it through the night. I did though. And I will make it through the next three months ok aswell. Hopefully he'll remember that he's 2 hours ahead of us when he decides to ring me, and that I can't answer the phone while I'm working.

Because he's not here, and while he's away, his mum and sister will be moving house, I took some of his stuff home with me, like his bag of sketchbooks (loads of them, all with many empty pages I plan on filling for him) his laptop (he said he can get himself a better one) and his computer stuff, his PSP and games (I'm not actually planning on playing it hust holding it for him) I'll also be helping his family move house and then when he gets back, move in with them. I will have to make it official (change of address etc) and live with Chris for 6 months, we'll have to go on a holiday somewhere, create a joint bank account and take out a small lone. Then we qualify for 'defacto' status with the navy, and they will provide us with housing. I should also thing about transferring to either Big W at Gateways, or woolies at either Rockingham City, Waikiki or Warnbro. Big W is right on the trainline, and the others are all about 5-10 min drive from Chris's place. I just don't like the idea of catching the train on my own at 11pm.

Also, later today, I will be signing up with 3 internet (They already handle my mobile) so that should cut down my expences slightly, $20 for internet with my phone bill instead of $30 for mum for internet. And I will ask 3 to take off the tones n pix package from my phone cause I don't need it. Another $6 taken off. And Chris not being here means I won't be driving 30min to rockingham and back all the time, so saving myself petrol. And cash since I won't be going out as much, and won't be paying for two. Though, with mothers day and my brothers birthday coming up, and muma nd dad are going away, so I will have to do some sort of grocery shopping, my cash won't go up till after may. And I am working on a couple of pics I want to sell =^-^= I usually never do, but hey, at least I have fun drawing them, right.

**EDIT** He'll be gone for nine months instead of three. I hate the navy
