Moments of Permanence - November 16th, 2009

About November 16th, 2009

Slightly further updating 03:47 am
Okay. So, yesterday, I landed at Perth after a long journey that was tedious but made less than horrible by:

1) decent luck with my seat assignments/row-mates

2) a new and very entertaining audiobook on my iPod

3) my DSi

Seriously, Scribblenauts took up about three hours of flight time and Final Fantasy III took up at least four.

DSi lasted about six hours before the battery warning light came on, at which point I booted up my EEE PC and plugged my DSi into it to charge. Took a while and most of Zecter's own battery power, but my DSi was fully charged again and I was set for entertainment.

Was met at the airport by Chas and Oliver, both of whom are wonderful, and we came home.

I'd only got about 45 minutes sleep on the journey, so it was a little bothersome to manage only two or three hours overnight, but finally this morning I actually got to sleep and slept pretty much all day.

Now I just need to switch my body clock back from GMT to Perth time. It'll happen.

My head is gradually recovering from the long-term exposure to aeroplane and airport air. As before, it ripped hell out of my sinuses and I've also had a stuffed throat today, but that's improving.

While I slept today my parents dropped off their car and keys - my mother's away for a week on a business trip, and it seems my father's taking some time off his own work and going with her. I am tasked to keep Dad's tomatoes and Mum's mint plants alive. (The cat is being boarded. I only hope that our somewhat neurotic, reasonably elderly cat can handle this without having another nervous breakdown.)
