So, today was the day when my sister decided to show up at the house. She suddenly shouted from the bottom of the stairs that she was here, and thought she'd tell me so I wasn't terrified when I realised someone was in the house. I said she could have called before she came, and she looked away and said "Well I don't have to do I?", and I said no she didn't. She said she'd run out of washing powder so she'd come down to get some 'and things'. I went back to playing on the Playstation rather than hover over her shoulder, as far as I could tell she and one of my nephews were downstairs for about twenty minutes. When I came down, from what I could see, she'd taken the last of the washing powder tablets, she'd raided the cupboards for snacks, and she taken an envelope mum had left with money in it for a man who'd done some work on our tree, taken the money out, and left the envelope on the table. Good times.

Anyway. My week without my parents is almost over, and it's been pretty nice really. The only fiasco I had was on Tuesday, when I had to get up and go out to a jewellery course I do. It starts at 1 in Leeds, so I have to be up and out so I can be in Leeds for around 12-ish. But I remembered that I had to feed the dog and take him out and stuff, so I set my alarm for half an hour before I usually set it for. On Tuesday morning, I woke up early, couldn't get back to sleep, then couldn't work out why my alarm had gone off. I got up and started getting ready, and realised I'd gotten up at the time I set my alarm for, when I usually set the alarm, give myself half an hour to wake up in bed, and then get up. But no matter, I continued to get ready. I went downstairs, and it turned out to be the only day of the week (so far, fingers crossed) that the dog had made a mess in the kitchen. Even though it was around the time he usually barked to go out, so if anything I'd had a better chance of getting him out in time. But I didn't. I fed him, took him out, and cleaned it up, which I almost never do in the kitchen. I washed my hands, had a breakfast bar, and managed to get out in time for the bus to the bus station. However, they'd changed the bus times slightly from last year, so the connection I easily made when I went on this course last year, I missed, and had to wait half an hour for the next bus. I went into town, bought a few books on clearance, came back to the bus station and sat down to wait for the bus. And it wasn't until 12:33, when I was looking at a bus station clock, that I thought "Wait - 12:33?". And then I realised that instead of setting my alarm for half an hour before I usually did, I'd gotten confused and set it half an hour later. But then got up half an hour early anyway. But then either spent so much time cleaning up after the dog, or thought I had loads of time since I was 'early', that I completely missed the actual bus I wanted to get. And then missed the bus after that anyway. So I missed an hour of my jewellery course. But it's all pretty laidback, so it was alright really. But it was a confusing few hours.

In other news, I'm kind of freaking out about Dragon Age. ( Spoilers )

In other other news, I am watching Hannibal. It is extremely gory! But very good. I kind of wasn't holding out a lot of hope for Hugh Dancy, I think because he is pretty and reminds me of Jack Whitehall. But he's actually amazing. It is really good. But very gory.

I also watched the end of The Following. ( The end of The Following )
