Life goes on ...

So I've been a little slack with updating my blog lately, for a number of different reasons but mostly because I haven't felt like I've been in the right head space for it. I didn't want this blog to become a place where I end up writing a lot of my negative feelings so I've stayed away for a while.

I've done some stuff this past month and will fill in the blanks at some stage. Christmas has been and gone. It wasn't the Christmas I was expecting at all, and in the days leading up to it I wasn't really feeling it at all. I'm happy to say that my family and friends helped to turn that around and I ended up really enjoying 'Gay Christmas', Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Each of those will make more sense later, but for now I'll just say that each has a special meaning to me.

I still haven't decided what I'm doing for New Years and considering it's in 2 days time I will probably need to decide soon.

The great news is that the paperwork came through and the job is confirmed. I start my training in Phoenix on the 7th January. I'll be away for two weeks which should be fun, and then will be based at home taking phone enquiries and hopefully some email/online stuff as well.

I'm still missing my partner-in-crime like crazy. Everytime I go somewhere or do something I wish that he was here with me. There are so many new experiences that I've lost track. And some of them I don't think can be put into words - it just has to be experienced.

I think the novelty of my accent is finally wearing off (which is great). I just need to get my licence, learn what some of the US names are for food items and get my conversions down (temperature and distance!).

More later ...
