Not so much internet access these days, not so much time for internet so it’s currently safer to assume that I’m not hearing about things which are only mentioned online. If I miss things because of this – like TWO farewells for the lovely Kim and Jussie – then apologies in advance.
It’s been a busy month.
I started a new job last week. Student Enquiries Officer for the Engineering Faculty – basically I’m just downstairs from where I have been working. Lots and lots to learn and so far no desk or computer of my own, but that is coming. The whole department is in transition, so it makes for an interesting time, but probably an excellent time to be moving into a new role cos everyone else is too. This is a two year contract – hooray for two years of security and set hours!
In the most unbelievable chain of good luck and insanely fortunate timing, zen_cat and I bought a house – more to the point, we decided to start the process, sold his apartment, found and bought a house we like and are now moving in, all in the space of 3 or 4 weeks!!! Pics to follow, as will new contact details in a locked post. We will be officially moved in as of November 9th; until then, we are moving our stuff in and zen_cat has moved into my apartment.
Housewarming is roughly slated for first weekend in February. Rest of this year is devoted to organising our new house and working out new routines that no longer include multiple visits to two apartments and constantly trafficking clothes etc from one suburb to another. Yay!!!
Trip to India is also getting closer, however at the moment my world seems full to brim with moving and setting up house and new job 😀
As for my knee, I have just 2cm left to build on my quads, and 6 weeks to do so. The physio said that if it hadn’t been for my various ailments, such as vertigo, impinging on my ability to do rehab exercises, I would be completely finished by now. To aid in this final 2cm, I bought some ankle weights on the weekend – go go thigh muscles!
daisynerd I do believe that your various beseechings of the universe on my behalf have taken effect and with a WOW!
Next year…KITTENS!!!!!
Wow!
I’m exceptionally impressed, my dear!
I am SO happy for both of you 🙂
I think we had at least two or three people say to us “Wow, when you guys make your minds up, you really don’t muck around!”
It has just been an incredible process, and if I had’ve gone to Japan, we wouldn’t have this beautiful new house. The universe seems to be coming through quicker and quicker with the showing me why certain things happen – I do like this quick turnaround of crap stuff happening and then getting to see what good stuff it was making room for.
Me too!!! 🙂 Truly, it does feel like the heavens are smiling down on us right now.
And it’s about bloody time! 🙂
Woot! Karma finally seems to have gotten its act together 🙂
Very happy for you both!
Fantastic news! Thank you universe, this is as it should continue. Lots of love in these exciting times.
and lots of love back. love love LOVE *your* new house too. It looks so warm and cosy, and just so you and Niels!
oxoxo
Cool. Hopefully now that means it’s my turn?
Wow, that’s so exciting, and cool and everything. Looking forward to seeing it when you’re all settled in. Have fun being all cosy in your new home. 🙂
Indeed!‘s furniture was all moved in yesterday so it’s actually starting to take shape as a home…and we find ourselves playing furniture tetris trying to fit all our stuff in, and mix things around sufficiently so they lose the “yours” and “mine” tags.
I hope that whatever it is that is in store for you comes along soon so that you can see and be glad for the opportunities which have been so elusive lately for you. It is much much easier to deal with disappointments and hurts and regret when finding out within days or weeks the bigger, better reason for them. It took a good eight months for me to see any real point to me having been brought back here and another month after that to finally be glad that I’d come back. Even now, 14 months on, I’m still discovering new gratitudes for what the past year has given me cause to appreciate. That said, I much prefer finding out the universe’s “Grand Plan” more immediately 😉
I truly hope so 🙂
*hugs*
About bloody time! Yay!
Big *hugs* to the both of you.
