She's just gotten herself an expensive apartment and bought furniture for it, so my mom and I were wondering if she'd actually spend all that money for just half a year. Because 6 months from now her 2 years in Australia will be over and she's supposed to come home. At least if she wants her municipal job back. They gave her vacation for 2 freaking years, but I doubt they'll grant her more. The beautiful thing about a job with the city is that it's safe, you can't easily be laid off.

Yeah, so my sister didn't volunteer any information and we didn't get anything out of her with hints and such, so I just asked her outright if she'll come back in February. The answer was no and my mom & I were really fucking crushed. Sister's boyfriend had followed her to Australia a few months after her and now she's on an significant-other visa, so I had hope she'd come back when that visa runs out. But nooo! She doesn't know when or even if she'll come back. Have I mentioned how crushed my mom and I feel?
