Being that today is day 122 of the 366 of the year, I thought it would be a good opportunity for a reflection on the year so far.
Often, the things I blog about are not necessarily 'big picture' issues, so I thought it would be good to reflect on some things that have happened this year.
I had a shaky start to the year with potential surgery date/s affecting potential employment, however, it seems that things have fallen in to place for the most part. I worked fulltime for term 1, had surgery in the school holidays, and hope to return to work in wk4 of term 2 in a 3 day per week part-time position, which leaves me free to do casual work on the other 2 days (or in the immediate future for medical appointments).
I was quite unsure about the ISTH job (though glad for the work) in the beginning. I have also been told by my boss, that he was unsure about me taking on the job in the beginning. As I have relaxed into it, I have found it quite interesting and maybe even something I would like to pursue. My boss also has said that my approach and performance has surpassed what he had hoped/imagined of me!
In the first part of the year, we also updated our car. This only happened a couple of weeks before my surgery so we are yet to sell the commodore. It is in quite good condition so we are hopeful that when we start to actively advertise it that it will sell quickly.
All of the birthdays for the family have been celebrated in the first
half of the year, hard to believe that those 2 gorgeous babies are now
teenagers, one who is taller than me and one who is within centimetres
of my height!
We did manage to get away a couple of times in the first part of the year. In January, we went to Sydney and in March we went to Newcastle. Maybe we should look at extending our travels each trip...funny as we have been invited to be at Wendi's on the Gold Coast for Christmas!
So that is the first 122 days from the big picture, now to strap myself in for the next 122!
