1) I was able to acquire a screwdriver small enough to keep dismantling my 3DS. As I was doing this, one of the ribbons decided it would be a good idea to snap. Considering the problem I had was that it was either a damaged or loose ribbon, I believe it’s now safe to assume it was and now is the former.

It’s cheap enough to replace but it’s no less frustrating.

2) My mother contacted me again on Thursday with lengthy abuse in message form that culminated in her threatening to have friends of her beat up Je. This happened early enough in the day for me to be able to leave work around thirty-six minutes after starting and head home.

I doubted anything would happen. However, it was an incredibly stressful message and I wanted to make sure.

Nothing came of it.

All that this juvenile behavioru does is make me want to move interstate more.

3) Speaking of moving interstate, I was speaking to my ex after this happened. It was a fairly serious conversation.

Still messaging, but that’s better than nothing.

I mentioned how the behaviour of my mother made me want to move interstate more and my ex went quiet.

I tried to make a joke. No response.

This is the second time I’ve mentioned it to her and both times she has gone quiet after a brief message of acknowledgement.

On Friday I said it seemed like she really didn’t want me to go and if that is the case, she should say so.

No response.

At this stage, what am I meant to think? It seems like she wants to say something but I don’t think there’s more I can do about it.

4) I’m tired. Need more sleep.

5) FTL: Faster Than Light is fun and addictive.

Seriously addictive.
