life goes again

life moves forward as it always does ... i am loking for work ... no real surprise at least to me ... need to work out what i really want to do with my life ... it is more than just doing admin work ... so clues to help me are few and far between ... kind of like the post of the past 12 months ... i suck at blogging ... will have to trying and do more again ... don't know how my life is the way it is except to say that i know how to cruise with life until you hit a bump on the road of life ... anyway, that is enough for me ... bye!!

Changes ... turn and face the pain ...

hi all ... long time no write!! life goes on as it ever has this year ... with its myrid of changes and challenges.

I thought that I would let you all know that I have resigned from UniSA (as of Friday) and am going to HH (02Dec08).

I won't say too much more about it all.

the oh so boring life of me!

there isn't a lot to report for me, the holiday was in many ways a no event. it was good to get away from work but ended up not being too restful after the first day debarcle.
am still working out how to have my place, but it looks more and more what i want it to look like.
i can also admit that i still have boxes to go through and get rid of stuff - should be doing some of it at the moment.
got to go and finish so work so that i can go home and get warm again!! ;)

Holiday - Perth (July 08)

Hey there, I am on hols in Perth at the moment with my ma!

Less than a day into our holiday we have had a fair bit of excitement!! At around 11pm last night (local time) we were woken by a loud bang and then people knocking on the door of our room. There was a fire in the hotel, one level down, smoke everywhere, really bad smelling smoke too.

We ended up outside with everyone from the hotel plus onlookers - for around 2 hours.

I had pjs, jumper and sneakers on plus my phone, and ma was pjs with jumper and phone but no shoes.

We ended up at the Rendevous Hotel for the night and slept for about 3 hours only.

We are now staying at a local backpackers for the rest of our trip!! What an adventure, and it is just the beginning of our holiday!! Fun for all!!

what a happening for me

well, what's happening - 'life goes on just as it always has and always will' ... not a great lot but am still rather busy with it all.
i have managed to make a mess at home which i should be cleaning right now but i will get to it before it gets to me. i have pretty much set myself up at home and am enjoying living so close to town.
my head is starting to get into a better place. now i need an outlet to explore who i am more. i have taken up 1 new activity and am looking at a couple more. been taking more photos and am looking to upgrade the skills that i have.
the fam is doing well and all things seem to be going swimingly so to speak.
need to go - have fun!

an update

cheers

post no 457

so today - what does my life hold - have i added meaning to someone or something?

well, my gramps is in hospital (next door to my work), my dad is hospital (other part of the city), have worked today, but not sure i have achieved overly much. have to go and visit someone tonight - not sure i will be much help, but i am willing to try.

all that said - i have money in my wallet and a small amount in the bank, i have a place that i call my own, family that surrounds me and is still talking to me, i have friends that i am able to call whenever i feel like.

so the reality is that i am blessed, lucky whatever you want to call it so there isn't anything that i should wish for.

but i can do more and will endevour to do more for those that do not have what i have!

a weekend in melbourne!

As my scheduled weekend in Melbourne was a surprise for Mum, I haven't been able to say what I have been wanting to.

Last Friday was my Mum's B-Day and as a surprise I joined the rest of my family in Melbourne for the weekend.

Now as most would know my Bro and Sis-in-Law live in Melbourne and Mum & Dad were going over to visit and as it happened it all coincided with Mum's B-Day, so I planned a big surprise for Mum.

I loved the look on her face when she saw me on Friday morning in the coffee shop near the Vic Markets. Priceless! And the fact that I got called stinker!

We had a great time checking out the Vic Markets, dinner at the Snooty Fox, Warradyte Markets plus chilling out, Dad & the bro did the footy, dinner out, church and a trip up to Warbarton and finally dinner with all of us plus extra person (Tam).

It was great fun as well as being a time of reconnecting as a whole family unit.

last week

Last week has been full of unpacking, washing and organising of a lot of my stuff at my new place.
I am still a little way off but am getting there, slowly.
I think that it will be a little while yet before I am all organised, well I am hoping for the end of May to be all unpacked, sorted, cleaned and all the new things bought.
So here's to hoping!!
