Woohoo. Hellooo SAD.
All the melancholy. Lovely. But I'm ok about it. It's funny, but I'm kinda happy to be sad about moving on from this summer. It hurts cos it mattered and as such it's sad to say goodbye. But that's a good thing. It's been a long summer, starting back in Australia at the end of Jan and if you think that the summer is the year (it's the only time I'm me) then 2012 has been a great year. I could list all the awesome things, but I'll not bore you :) This summer mattered. This year mattered. I matter. I will not look down on myself for remembering that. So it's ok. Its rough, but I'll keep moving on through it.
Let us talk about other things instead.
What have I been doing since we were last here? The folks came, that was nice. They were here for a week and had about the only 7 days of good weather we've had down here all summer. I got a Friday afternoon off and we went to the beach. Thus I managed to get a swim in the sea before the season ended. First time and last time. A good day.
After the folks went home it was all hands to the pump, preparing a course I had to teach our partners on a method we use. That happened last week. And oh what a fun week it was. Crazy busy, and then my seizure fell slap bang in the middle of the week as well. Yay, fun tiems. Teaching is hard y'all. Trying to make sure my explanations were clear to the Danish, Dutch and Portuguese, my own internal voice ended up with its grammar all back to front after rewording sentences all day.
My reward was an affectionate Doggie for the weekend as the Naice-ex-boss had to go away for the weekend. Him such fun. Cute fluffy doggie. :-)
