I haven't written anything in a while, because I haven't been sure what seemed important/relevant enough to share. Its been quite an eventful month between being sick, being in a car accident, recovering from mean whiplash, OT, and Geelong adventures.
Being in this odd state of limbo applies to so many things at the moment. I am still looking for full time work which is essentially the heart of the current stress. 2 close friends of mine got married this month on the East Coast, and due to finances, I missed both weddings. Due to not having a steady income since January, I keep watching the credit card bills climb higher and higher. It's an odd dance of trying to look for work, study, explore the city, relax to stay calm...and not spend money.
Our stuff from LA is still on the boat between LA & Melbourne...hopefully everything is in tact and not currently sitting on the bottom of the ocean...
The cats are through with about one half of the quarantine process; I can't wait to have them out here.
Turns out flying home for the holidays is stupidly expensive, and for 2 people would cost between $5,000 - 7,000+. Not sure what we're going to do on that front:/
But despite everything, I'm using the opportunities to learn as much as I can through these crazy Aussie experiences. Richard, my partner, is my rock. I love sharing this crazy adventure with him. There's 57min left of Sunday. Who knows, with looking out over the week ahead, maybe this is the week I'll get that call/email that will turn the work situation around. I can't wait to write that blog entry:)
