what a great night!
awesomeness! have just had QUMS over for coffee at our place as the boy is at the coast with family. woohoo, such fun. only a small group (unlike usual), but sat around for ages chatting.
work has been really great - im really enjoying it and the ppl and the general feeling! im so glad of where i am!! its so tangible (and i love this fact) that i made the right decision. here's the weird bit tho - i asked a chicky at choir tonight where her shirt was from: it had lots of gear brand names on it. she said, "i work for [place i rejected job-wise]". oh, i said. "omg!", she says, "are you the [blu_monkey] that called to reject us? they were really upset!". i conveyed that i had felt bad about it and she shushed me, saying she wanted to get out of there and how sexist the place/ppl were there. i was very surprised at her emphatic agreeance on that point.. even tho she said she'd been there 3yrs! wow.. v weird. so there you go..
have really enjoyed my time off last couple days, been getting random stuff done, including a lot of reading (currently schindler's ark). that's been nice. talking to mum & dad occasionally. always uplifting and funny. havent taken any photos at the moment but doing some research about dslrs. talking to neighbours about photography too, one of them is a v accomplished photographer. had a glass of wine there this morn and watched the scary bris storm roll up and lash our flats.
enjoying boy activities and friend activities - got some parties coming up, yay! getting stuff done is still making me feel v happy. we went shopping the other day for real food (finally, woohoo!) as ive been paid for the first time in over 2months. AND, we get paid weekly. how strange is that?? ive only EVER been paid fortnightly, in my entire working history of lots of jobs in about 7yrs.
im only slightly worried that i will have something happen to take away this quite broad-reaching happiness at the moment. i know i shouldnt be so pessimistic! maybe i have some karma owed or summat.. but YAY for the minute!!
love to all :)
