I survived

Since I'm sure everyone has been worried about my safety this is just a little post to let you all know that yes, I did manage to survive the earthquake on Saturday night - actually technically it happened at 4.30 in the morning but that's nor the point. Rather inconsiderate of Poseidon to send one at that time I thought. Since it took ages to get back to sleep I was not impressed. The quake lasted a grand total of about 2 seconds so it wasn't exactly a huge one and as far as I know there was no damage to anywhere - funny that.
People should probably sit down before reading this: today I walked to work. This achievement is somewhat impressive since a) meant I had to get up at 7am which is impressive by itself since I hate mornings b) takes just over an hour to walk to work from where I live (an hr of exercise, SO depressing) and c) since it's winter (or rather the weather can't decide if it's winter or still autumn so it's alternating) it's getting damn cold in the mornings now so not only did I walk for an hour but I walked for an hour in the cold. Actually the main reason I walked is because I have about $3 to last me til payday and can only afford to get the dolmush either to or from work but not both. Since I finish work at 9.30pm when it's dark damned if I'm walking home then so at least if I walk to work in the morning it's light. Might get the ticket bus to save money tonight instead of the dolmush but then have to wait for the stupid thing for ages or get the slow one. Not so good. Fortunately Wednesday is pay day. Actually can blame my family (both Olympic and mortal) for me having no money since I went to the Ankara Handicrafts Fair on the weekend and bought most of my xmas/bday presents for people. So, Kat, Kaz and co it's all your fault that I have no money.
