HI EVERYONE
Had some more tests last week and I am now just waiting for the results to see what will happen from here. This seems to be taking forever and 6 weeks so far seems an eternity.
Some good things that have happened:
- Darwin was magnificent. It was very hot but perfect for early morning and evening walks. We had a wonderful day at Lichfield where we wandered the paths and swam in the swimming holes at the waterfalls. The scenery was breathtaking and it felt great to be alive and fit enough to undertake some of the longer walks. One in particular track deteriorated into a series of rocks going down the cliff. Felt very challenged but also very pleased when I mastered it safely. We were robbed while we were sleeping which was very scary but as I said to my DH nothing important was taken. Lots of money and a camera which is disappointing as we had taken lots of photos. But nothing important like my wedding rings for example. The next night we barricaded the doors with chairs as the poice had informed us that they probably had a key!
-My beautiful daughter turned 17 last week. She didn't enjoy it as much as she should because she was snowed under with SACS and had to study long hours every night. But the boys came over for dinner and we had a laugh, and a certain mother had a bit of a cry when DS2 mentioned moving out of home. I never cry in front of my kids but am obviously a bit emotional at the moment. Am I the only mother who wants her children to stay at home?
-The same DS has been successful in getting a full-time position with a big corporation starting in Feb. He attended many interviews and tests over 6 weeks to get it and I am so pleased for him. It is a proper graduate position where he will be trained and the corporation has a good programme for moving them through various departments. We were worried for a while beacuse someone else offered him a 1 year position which required immediate commencement (and he was tempted to take it and not finish uni as he was worried he might not get a full time job) He was also having interviews for a job in Sydney which I kept advising him against. I told him he needs the support of his friends here. Not being selfish was I? It wasn't really in the area he wanted either. So it has worked out well. Now he just has to knuckle down and finish the course and he can enjoy some time off before he starts the next stage of his life.
Well best get some work done. Have a great week everyone.
