Well, My Dearest Darlings, here I am, finally! I'm so sorry for the long absence, sometimes there's just not enough hours in the day. If there is, I sure haven't been able to find them lately. Gypsy mention "the roller coaster" in her last post, yep, that pretty much sums up life for all of us.
I went back and re-read your posts, Candy Girl, look at you "One Life to Live Cupcakes!" I reckon that's some pretty serious compliments! :-) I can totally get the "cupcake craze" there something a bit whimsical & different, I people love that! By the way, I haven't forgot about "Hello Kitty's!" It was good to hear that you, Ringo and the Girl's are all doing well. I've been thinking about Jess, I remember loosing my first patient I had a really similar experience with some cold head Nurse telling me I "better toughen up and learn to detach my feelings." I told her that when that happened, I'd leave Nursing. It's a hard job for someone who genuinely cares about people and has a giving, soft heart, but it's the kind of job that can't be done well without those two vital qualities. So, you tell Jess to never lose that caring, loving spirit! You've been super busy, haven't you??? I reckon that a good & bad thing, good for business, bad for your chances to rest and regroup! I'm glad you're still finding some time for yourself, even if it's just little things, that's so important... And hey, bad Saturday is a necessity! ;-)
Gypsy, I'm glad to hear that things are looking up for you. Sorry to hear that meeting the Representative, or whatever he is, didn't go like you hoped. Why exactly was it "uncomfortable?" I think I need more details on that one. I was really glad to hear your Baby is coming home. I know you miss him so much! I know I miss mine! When exactly do you leave for NY? I know you'll be glad to get your Documentary going. Can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks for staying after me to get back to the blog, I've been away far too long and appreciate the, not so gentle, nudge. ;-)
So, what's been happening "Down Under?" Well, CC finally finished the big job he's been working on for the last 2 months this week! YAY! I've really not enjoyed being here on my own. Life for us is getting back to normal slowly. The Jewelery business is going really well and growing in leaps & bounds! Here's hoping it continues! It's really great, we're dealing with quite a lot of International business, which is pretty cool. Right now, we're just working to keep it manageable. Working hard on our plan to come home this Summer for a visit. We'll work our visit in with A & N's wedding. We've started looking at flights, everything is so expensive! I think we're going to go through New Zealand this time and spend some time with CC family. I'm really excited about this, I've always wanted to visit there and getting to know the family better will be really nice. It's hard to believe it's only 6 months away! Where does the time go??? I still haven't figured that one out. :-/ I'm thinking about applying for a job at the local Library. They have an opening for an Assistant, which doesn't come open that often. It would be a nice job to help out until we make the move back home. I'll keep you posted. Well, my loves, that's the jest of life in Oz. I promise I'll try very hard to never go this long without writing again. Hope this finds you both, and the Families, all doing well. I sure do love and miss you very much!
Talk to you soon!
