Yesterday was a day of phone calls and politics. I'm trying to manage the application for Permanent Residency that is all behind and botched plus arrange appointments and funding for the IVF treatments before my Medicare coverage expires today. It is complex, to say the least.

We did escape the house for a couple hours, though. We stopped at the Family's house in Auburn and then I jogged down to the shops for onions and a lint brush. I was walking down the aisle of a little shop keeping my eyes peeled for that lint brush when I was suddenly set upon by a ninja!!!

Or, at least, that's what my very shocked brain thought. It was actually a Lebanese woman dressed all in black with the black face veil and head scarf so that only her eyes were showing in slits. She stepped out from behind a tall display so suddenly that I had to swallow a scream of surprise. It would have been embarrassing if I had let loose with a girlish wail. My mind worked like this:

Doh-dee-doh. Lint brush. Lint brush. That's not a lint brush. Lint brush. Aieee! Ninja attack! Oh crap!
Oh... Lebanese woman dressed like ninja. Phew! Don't scream. Don't scream... okay, now don't laugh out loud. Stop laughing. Don't do it.... good MiLady. Phew.

I found my lint brush, then I went to buy the onions and, guess what? I was attacked by the same Lebanese Ninja woman again. This time she was gliding out of the frozen food aisle straight for me. Gah! I can only determine that the ninjas have found me and they are not pleased. If you never hear from me again, assume the worst!

As we were crawling into bed last night, I told my story to G. We laughed and then I acted out a scene from a proposed Ninja Burger RPG game where I buy a bra, hide a Ninja burger in each cup and if I'm spotted, I roll disguise and say I'm a Lebanese woman. I'm sooooo using this at Ron's next Ninja Burger game at Game Storm! *wicked laugh* Then we thought about robbing a bank all dressed as Lebanese women, racing out into the streets of Auburn with our loot and blending immediately into the crowd of Lebanese that inhabit that area of Sydney. Just chuck the bags into a stroller and glide down the street to safety. No one will every know. *snicker snicker*

I'm off to have an ultrasound this morning. I'll write more later.

That's hilarious!!!

I didn't know you were moving permanantly. There goes my attention span.. Doink!

I'm not moving here permanently. I do need the Permanent Residency visa to be able to live here part-time, though. Visitor visas are restrictive. I can only visit for 3 months at a time and there needs to be x number of days between visits, etc. A Permanent Resident visa means I can be here as long as I want as much as I want. G has Permanent Residency status in the US. My fear is that if something happens to his family and we need to be here to help care for them, I'll have to keep flying back to the US without my husband for chunks of time before qualifying for another visitor visa to be with him. I'd hate that. While I'm not keen to live here forever, I don't want to be forced to leave before I'm ready, either.

Rest assured, your attention is just fine.

Re: no messing with ninja's lol


I wasn't looking at her body. When she popped out from behind the display, she was only 3-4 paces away from me. All I saw was her eyes in a field of black. When I realized she wasn't a Ninja, I looked away quickly to surpress both my scream and my subsequent giggles. I never even looked down at her body. She could have had Bermuda shorts and a duck innertube on her bottom half for all I know. *snerk*
