Back Home

Today I woke at 11am, logged onto my computer and spent the morning snacking on whatever seemed tasty enough – all of which was a regular occurance 3 weeks ago. Waking up in familar surrounding makes the past week seem like a strange dream and Fiji seemed like a whole lifetime ago.

Moving and the real job has been a bit overwhelming (especially the job). I lived in Sydney from age 3 to 7 so a lot of my earliest memories are there – and growing up I was often heading down there to visit relatives and friends so it’s always felt familiar but now all of a sudden it feels so strange living there – like I don’t belong. I miss my lake – that’s were I belong. I spent a childhood there swimming, sailing, surf skiing and exploring. There’s all types of interesting things to do and find in a huge saltwater lake when you’re a kid (and an adult). There’s nothing better after a hot sticky and/or stressful day than glidng through the cool water and letting it wash away all your worries - But I’m not a kid anymore and I need to be somewhere where I can work and go out and meet people and just enjoy being a young adult for the short time it will last.

The worst part about moving is that I MISS MY DOGGIES! – I miss their adorable faces and the the way they trotting about excitedly, tails wagging, simply because I came home, got out of bed or just came into the room. I miss my family too but I can always call them if I need them. You can’t cuddle a dog over the phone.

The job does seem interesting and I love our sweet little apartment. It’s been exhausting tho – I just been doing training all week and information overload is frying my brain. At least I get to go home at 5 tho – everyone else seems to live there and I’m so not doing that when I start working in my team (not on my salary anyway).

Anyway that’s the wrap up of what’s going on in my head. I’ll be over to do some blog visiting later in the day.
