its life jim, but not as we know it.......

Well life moving onwards ever slowly. Am up at 2.30 in the morning contemplating dishes and washing, housework getting on top of me....nothing new there then! Worked two days this week, Wednesday and Friday, and having to be up by 6.15am and not getting home in the tassie mid winter until 5ish is slightly depressing. Still, it had to happen. and much better than the attempted graveyard shift and friday night chaos which I discovered I wasnt up to at all quite quickly. Was ok when I was a carefree single gal who lived three blocks away from work, not quite so workable now.
I have dicovered the joys of Facebook and re connected with quite a few old friends/lovers/artistic collaborators which has been fun. Good distraction from my now quieter and emptier house since Linds has been gone.
Have almost registered with mersey leven in home care to become ...ahem...an in home carer...should just about adequately supplement the income and possibly eventually replace current brainless unchallenging and too far away job, and utilise already gained skills and interests. also have enrolled part time in distance learning through curtain uni to do primary school teaching. the next study period doesnt start until the end of august and is only two subjects per semester so will take four years all going well and is flexible re starting and stopping for life events (and lord knows I always seem to attract my fair share of major life disruptions!!)
Tommorrow we pack up and head north for little Spencer Best's 1st birthday and naming day celebrations (his mum Mel and I were celebrating our very pregnant bellies together at a baby shower about this time last year, so will be a nice little milestone hopefully!) He's a delightful wee sprite and I look forward to knowing his Mum & seeing him & Min get to know each other as they grow up. Also looking forward to some quality out -of -the -house time with the Revered Nanna in Devonport for a couple of days and a Aztec chilli hot choccy at Anvers in Latrobe, and catching up with a friend in Carrick and her three gorgeous sprites. There are SOME good things about winter in Tassie!!
