New Yarns

Well I apologise for the long time between drinks! I would like to say it's because I've been so outrageously busy, I just simply haven't had a minute to update. And to a large extent that's sort of, almost true!

THINGS THAT ARE GOOD:
I got a semi journalism gig. Sort of. Well not sort of.
I applied for a match reporter gig with Football West, and I got it! I get to cover a state league game each weekend and do the weekly wrap of the women's league! I'm stoked! I got more hours at work, so I had been envisaging doing at least some sort of volunteer/part time writing for someone in some facet. This gig means I get to write about something I'm actually interested in....and I get paid!

I got more hours at work. Although a few months ago this would have depressed me beyond no end, at the moment it's exciting me because I've moved into a new area, and the work is actually OK. It's canvassing new motors/boats/caravans/trucks clients and working with existing ones and truth be told, I'm sort of enjoying it. It's giving me some routine and my boss is lovely.

Jenny's taking me to Sydney in May. She has to go to a seminar with one of her magistrate buddies so they're taking their daughters along for the ride! Her magistrate buddy is also her best buddy whose daughter is my age and we grew up together (her name is Sophie as well) so we get to join our mums for a few days in Sydney. Stoked. (Jenny is mum by the way).

Spain is looking likely now. (Again, thanks Mum). It's Jenny's 50th this year, and in true Jenny style she's going to Spain to celebrate. I'm going as well, but because of the lack of $$$/not having a real job I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go. Now I figure I can because if this football yarn works out I'm happy to stay where I work at the moment because I like it. Which means I can save and I can get the time off. Brilliant!

I've started pilates/the gym doesn't suck. It's weird how much people aren't lying when they say exercise is good for you.

I'm writing again. Not as much. Or as often. But it's a start.

I'm graduating on Sunday. I'm suddenly looking forward to it.

I started a funny tumblr with Steph about Yarns

THINGS THAT ARE BAD:
It's too hot
Chelsea aren't doing THAT well
The garden needs tending too
I have been watching far too much Australian Open.

That last one is a joke. There's no such thing as too much Australian Open.
