It is the equinox, and I am cold.

But jasra suggested tea, and now I can warm my hands and my insides in a tasty kind of way. Yay, tea!

The missing of australian_joe, alecto23, and Melbourne seems to finally have reduced in intensity and immediacy. I blame some combination of time, WoW as distraction, and getting back into my life here. Mostly, though, I think I blame time and my crappy memory (at least, if there are no triggers which bring me to specific memories). And not being in a place that reminds me of any of them very often (australian_joe, some, but he's only been to this current apartment once, and for less than a week).

Still get the periodic uncertainty of knowing which way to look to cross the street, though.

And still peridically miss the (varied) scent of gum trees. And the ease of getting to places to do things (like... I wanna go feed more possums! And it insensely _annoys_ me that I have to drive to grocery stores).

But I am not in a hotel, which is very nice! And I have my own space and am not living out of a suitcase. And my kitty and my roommate. Not that most of this helps much, of course, or it'd not have taken time and a crappy memory to fade things enough to make it stop hurting so much to not be there! (basically, the memory counts because once the emotional impact of the memories fade from immediate recall, I can still remember intellectually what it was like, but not in such an immediate emotional way. So I guess it's specifically my emotional memory which is applicably crappy)

La!

I _like_ having people's addresses.

Because then? When I get impulsive? I can _do_ something about it. :)

*immense glee*

(at least one package has arrived, so I now feel free to post about it)

Also? Postage costing more than items is amusing (even though it was also expected). Having to guess what items are worth is also strange. And I'm glad that random magnetic thing didn't cause problems with customs.
