cheers
Cheers to moving!
:) Yep - I took the offer, after a bit of negotiation, and we will be moving to the coast!! Its very exciting... I handed in my resignation notice on Friday... that was SUPER exciting... Daydreamed of doing that for so long! I'm working on having my notice shortened (my contract states 4 weeks, but they need me as soon as I can get up there)... I think I may be able to get it down to 3, possibly 2 weeks, but it will depend on whether or not they can find someone to replace me. *cross your fingers*
So yeah, going back to the school - only a different campus... should be good. I'm looking forward to it. At least with the move I'll have something familiar, not a completely new situation (ie. new home, new town, new job)... you know how much of a comfort queen I am... that would probably wig me out.. at least with the comfort of a known job I'll be a bit less stressed.
Hopefully we'll find a sweet little place to rent out - can be a bit tricky to find places up there that are within our budget and pet friendly - but we'll find something.
Also hopefully Mateus' job hunt won't be too hard - if anyone knows of anything going up there let us know... Mateus would be a great worker... and he'll give anything a go!!
So yeah - all very exciting... after months and months of daydreaming - we're actually going to do it... we're actually going to move to the coast!! Hurrah!!!
images are a couple of things I have to remind myself... hehe - change!

never again
Word to the wise - do not let dogs eat macadamia nuts!
Skol ate some macadamia nut butter today - bad move. They are toxic for dogs... He's in a lot of pain, poor little thing - can't really walk. We took him to the emergency vet - he's been given some pain relief (something involving opium)... and the little guy has passed out on his bed.

atmosphere
Getting harder to do 'work' at 'work'... because I've finished up everything I had to do already. Well actually, that happened a little while ago, I've just been managing to keep myself entertained here. Thats coming to an end now... back to looking busy, but not being. Not too bad... on good days. But on other days I get far too bored.
I've been contacted by old work - with an offer for a job... up on the coast. Its really confusing me at the moment. I've been looking for work up there - and now they've come up with a not great but not bad offer. I am thinking about it... miss the people over there. Lots of thinking about that now... which doesn't help with the boredom.
On the one hand it would be so good to be able to just hand in resignation and know that I had a job up there and we could move and just get going on this plan that we have been working on. On the other hand, I do still remember why I left that job...
---
Lots of reading blogs lately. It keeps me entertained.
Here's hoping that soon we will be living somewhere else, working somewhere else, with a bit more time on our hands - or at least a bit of a different atmosphere to spend our time...

still here
Still here... I kinda got busted a bit for not really doing much 'work' at... well... 'work'... heh
So I had to get my act together - and actually do some... ;)
Anyway - I am still around - still posting... just have to reschedule it. Make sure I actually do things around here rather than sit around on blogs or looking for other work or daydreaming etc etc
NZ was fun! I am just getting full movement back now.. haha... seriously brusied my forearms and my bum from all that falling down and getting back up. Another weird thing that was sore were my shins - from trying to turn and stabilise on the board... anyway.. it was fun. I have to write a bit of a summary about that later.
Its getting warmer over here... wish I was outside today...
Til later!
