Taking a moment to take in the sounds around me, -
- the bin truck making its way down my street, the sound of my own breathing and my tummy, the birds outside, the rustle of my fingers against my doona. -
I got a new job. I keep being hit with the thought that this is real. It makes me so happy that I’m finally out of that office after three and a half years. Im so happy. This is my second week. I love the new office. So far I love the new people too. I think I’m going to love the role.
I have a new job, I have my own place, I have friends I like. I’m so happy.
Having to take half the week off this week unfortunately to go up to Salamander Bay with the family. Even that I’m not too upset about. I think I should be? Mostly it’s a relief that she’s past. The only part that’s upsetting me is that dad can’t be there. That makes me sad for him.
I’m going to give myself time to settle into the role and then maybe think about moving out there? I’m not sure I’ll see how it goes. The drive is actually not bad at all to get out there, and there’s free parking across the road which is amazing. But also it would be an amazing opportunity to live by the beach.
As soon as the borders open I’m going to go see my dad. I miss him a lot.
