Don't cry over spilt quiche

The interview went very well, very very well. And when I come back from overseas I have less than a week before I start my new job. I will make much less money than I do now. But I will be working for two people who I think will inspire me. I will be challenged. I will probably be scared quite a bit. I will have a lot of diversity in my work, and an exponential learning curve. I don't even have a computer, instead I will dictophone. I won't die wondering what if....

It does mean leaving Wellington. Last time that didn't go so well for me. but I feel my reasons for moving this time are a lot more sound.

The boy and I are together again. Some things just can't be solved with sense. And considering I am only here for six more weeks, it may just run it's course in any event.....

So, this should all be classified as good exciting news. But I think it's taking its toll, I'm feeling pretty raw right now and went bush for a few hours today. Well as bush as you can get in the city, at the wildlife sanctuary. I hiked all the way to the wind turbine with just fat-breasted little robins as my company. Anyway, The bears saw the worst of my rawness the other night, when I had a kitchen disaster that had me flexing my tonsils and expletive vocab quite violently, with the two of them scuttering round the kitchen trying to fix things before I threw the dish through the window. Mrs Bear: Don't just stand there, help her! Mr Bear: What do you want me to do? Give her a massage? Afterwards I felt ashamed. But I also wondered what is up with me?

Still, I have been building up to all of this change for quite some time. And as much as human beings are habitual creatures adverse to change, I don't want to get stagnant. That's the best way to get miserable. And I still have so much to learn.....

    Lucky you don't have the powers of the woman on 'Like water for chocolate' or else that quiche would have been nasty. instead it was delicious.

    Congrats on the interview and the new job.

    Im so envious of your travelling. I know how awful it feels to be stuck somewhere you really don't need to be.

    Enjoy your travels and of course the new job and new perspective on things when you return.

    ...mnn I love quiche:)

    Challenge brings a richness to live that money can never buy.
