days off

Well, I have just had two days off and I feel like I have managed to catch up with my housework and some gardening. Don't get me wrong, I still have a very long to do list, but I have started.

Yesterday it was wonderful to manage a day without deadlines. I had lots to do but the day was mine and I did it at my pace. I haven't felt like that for ages.

Ah well today I have deadlines, I start work this afternoon and I have biblestudy this morning. Can't hang around here any longer.

Catch you all soon

Holiday and New Job

Well, it ahs been a while since I posted last. Most of you know what I have been up to anyway, but here is a recap.

My husband had a hernia repair almost three weeks ago now and he is still on the slow road to recovery. He will probably return to work next week but at present is making the most of living with a nurse.

We went off to Melbourne so he could have the surgery and I was supposed to be on holiday. Not really as he needed and expected 24 hour care. My first unbroken night was at the 10 day mark as he had needed some pain relief once or twice during the night. After 5 nights in East St Kilda we drove down to Phillip Island to use a time share there. It was a nice place, if a little old. In a great location and I didn't need to use the car much. I managed to escape for walks and some shopping (necessities mostly). Steve holed up inside and only managed to venture out a little on the final couple of days. We were visited by Ben and Bec and the kids and also Steve's mum and dad which was nice.

My second rotation began on Tuesday and I am slowly finding my feet in a new environment. Thankfully i get two weeks of orientation to help me work out what goes on when and my place in the team. I think that it will go well and fly past as the previous rotation did.

I will try to keep you all posted.
