NoJoMo 12

Damn skipped a day again. Yesterday was crazy. The day before I recieved a verbal offer for the job and after discussions with Sal that night we decided I would accept it. They came in a bit lower than I hoped, but I will only be about 25 bucks a week worse off, but I gain holidays and sick leave, small price to pay really!

So I accepted the offer and told them that I would like to start next Tuesday. My plan was to have Thursday Friday, the weeked and Monday off and have a stress free break. So once I spoke to the agencey I handed in my notice and told the place where i was working that it would be my last day. yesterday was also the cut off point that we had to have all the applications submitted for the project I had been brought in to help on, so it worked out well. Anyway the agencey rang me back and then said that the new job would like me to start next Thursday.

So I have scored myself a whole week off. Sal was a little concerned but secretly I was thrilled. I haven’t had a whole week off with no need to worry about finding a job or being in hospital for at least 18 months. I have lots of plans but really at the end of the day if I do nothing but relax I will be very happy 🙂 I do have an idea though that I might get a bit of painting done, just the undercoat perhaps in the bathrooms and toilet and the alcove that will be the built in book shelf. We shall see.

In other exciting news it looks like we are eventually going to have neighbours next door. The have commenced laying the pad to build the house. Of course this is driving the dogs insane and they are fretting and carring on like no body’s business. I am glad I can be home with them this morning and help then get used to the new noises.

Well my plan for today is to see the doctor, do some food shopping and hopefully catch up with a friend for coffee. How blissful! Coffee and socialising 🙂 I may also have to make a trip to Bunnings. This weekend we have about 40 ppl coming over for a house warming. I find it amazing that we have a house big enough to fit that many people. Not including ourselves we can comfortably sleep and extra 6 ppl, and if ppl bring swags we could probably sleep 10. I find that amazing after being in a house that felt tiny if we had one extra person in it.

My sister rang me yesterday and she is coming over in July next year for Master 12.5’s 13th birthday. I haven’t seen her since last Christmas and I am hoping that when she comes I might be able to take a couple of days off so I can spend some time with her. It will be so nice to have paid holidays. next Christmas we are planning a road trip across Australia. I have never driven all the way across the Nullabor before so it will be something new and hopefully we wont all kill eachother being cooped up in a car together for 4 days! We will spend a couple days with my sister and then head up to the gold coast and take master 12.5 to one of the theme parks up there. he is desperate to ride a decent roller coaster.

Just another little piece of me…..

What is this socializing you speak of? *laughs* If it doesn’t involve baby talk, I have no idea! 😉

Congrats on the new job and a week of relaxing. 🙂
