So I had quite the eventful day! First off, I spent the entire day battling
the after-effects of waaayyyy too much goon last night (Aussie slang term of
the day! Goon: wine in 4L boxes that cost around $10). One of the other DM trainees who’s staying in
the house had friends in town, so we had an epic drunken poker tournament. The guys couldn’t find a full deck of cards,
so I volunteered my brand new, oh-so-fancy pink & green Lilly Pulitzer deck,
not knowing that the lack of black suits would ultimately be my downfall. Evidently when you’re drunk, it’s difficult
to differentiate between a green club and a green spade. Needless to say, much mocking ensued. Fortunately, the buy-in was a grand total of
$6 each.
Queasiness aside, I finally found a reasonably priced (for
Oz!) hair salon and banished the appalling 2” roots I’ve been walking around
with for weeks. Even more exciting, I
visited the doctor for my dive medical and got a clean bill of health!!! I had a nasty case of otitis media with
effusion, so I was reluctant to dive until it cleared up, but it looks like I’m
in good shape now.
I also had my first encounter with the Law down under – suffice it to say that they take their seatbelt laws rather seriously. Not to worry, I lied my ass off & managed to escape with just a warning. J
