I have exactly one more week left before I start my new job. One more week of waking up and pottering about til I am actually ready to do things. One more week of watching Youtube until 10am and then looking at my task list. One more week of spending each day with my dog. One more day of not having to speak to anyone except my dog and maybe my family.
I have got far too used to this lux lifestyle o.O
Saying that, I am excited to have money again, especially with Christmas around the corner. I'm excited to meet new people (which also terrifies me since I am more intro than extra), to stretch my brain and learn new things, and to actually be doing things OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE. While I love having the freedom to do things in my own home, and have plenty of things I can do, I am definitely more motivated when I have a little more pressure on my time.
So bring on a new challenge, new people, and NO UNIFORM! Maybe the most exciting thing - I get to wear the things in my wardrobe again!

Employment A-Hoy!
It's been a little while since I last wrote anything - sorry about that :S A few things have been happening in that time though. Applying for jobs - standard, getting a job - yay!, knee surgery - ouch, best friend flying in from London - omgcannotcontaintheexcitement!!!!! And she's also gone in the time it's taken me to write this post :( Devastation.
I'm sorry for that slackness. I have to admit, the knee surgery was rougher this time around - I definitely didn't expect quite as much pain, especially transitioning from the panadeine forte to the standard panadeine. Ouch. I have also found that it's been a lot harder to get the bend and stretch happening - it just feels like it's a lot harder work, and managing the pain on top of that ... it just hasn't been good.
I did also get a MASS of swelling around my ankle from all the fluid running down from my knee, which has lead to some seriously impressive bruising on my ankle and foot. Not going to lie, I do enjoy a good bruise, so that was pretty epic to watch it all change colour and whatnot :D
And with my friend here, even though I didn't see her as much as I would have liked, I still saw her a bunch - it was perfect. It really made me realise how much I bloody miss her and how much I would give to go visit her in London. We're going to kickstart our photo a day challenge - we were doing really well a year ago, but then we slowly slid off the bandwagon. It went from one photo a day, to a photo every few days, to maybe 6 photos one day a week, to slowly slowly nothing. But now we're going to get back to it. We're going to have regular Skype dates, and just reinvigorate things a bit. I mean, we still chatted pretty regularly, but I find that you connect better when there are pictures along with the words. You know? You get a better capture of life, day to day.
But now here we are, halfway through October, two weeks til I finally start my new job, two weeks til Halloween....and I have two weeks to make a massive dent on my book. I have no excuse to not be writing it. Though I am a pro at procrastination. I have a bunch of appointments over the next week (dentist, physio, hairdresser), two days of work booked at my old high school, and a date to take my dog down to visit my Nan (she dotes on all animals but dogs in particular, so he is going to get SPOILT ROTTEN), but in and around that, I need to smash out some writing time. So wish me luck while I go plan my days with chunks of writing time in and around everything else.
