I'm not sure for how long yet, I'm seeing what life brings. It is so exciting!
I haven't told my boss yet. Technically I haven't got a contract since being back and they do know it is only temporary. But I will give them 4 weeks notice. In the 14 months that I was away last time they didn't bother to find anyone so I can't see it is going to make a lot of difference. The work I have done in the past few months has been to try and give them some direction and ideas with the least administration possible so hopefully the charity can do some good even if the Trustees are incapable of getting their act together!
Hey mish and Kat, yes I'm in new Zealand now and it is so great to be away. I'm just loving the freedom and just being responsible for me again instead of having the burden of others. Going back home made me realise how people treat me I.e loading all their emotional stuff onto me and relying on me to organise stuff that they really should be doing and taking for granted that I'll do it and it has made me realise that I need to set boundaries around that which I am in the process of doing.
I loved breaking my journey here with Singapore and then being back in Australia. I stayed in brisbane for 4 days and then went to visit Joe. It was so great to see him and spend time with him. The two weeks had ups and downs as we got used to each other again and he is very stressed out over a few external things, as was I, but we both worked it out and it was so nice to be together again and very romantic. It's so nice to be able to start again with someone after all the exh stuff and use what I've learnt. He really cares for me a lot, as do I him, and although we've had our ups and downs I no longer have that fear that every down will be our last because even if it is I know I will be fine.
So now I am in NZ and missing him a lot. However I am getting on and trying to get work. I have signed up with a few agencies so hopefully it shouldn't be long. I'm sure the missing him will not be so accutw soon, at the moment I just want to fly back to oz but for the moment it isn't too be. He has a few things to deal with like work and visa stress and instead of trying to fix it like I once would have I am standing back and supporting when he asks. After all, he is a grown man and cam fix it himself so it is better that I am here and we enjoy romance and getting to know each other than rushing into things and the stresses that brings.
