Catch Up

Forgive me, I’ve been so busy. Miss Jones is only in Brisbane for another couple of weeks before she goes to her parents place for a few weeks before going OS, so I’ll have plenty of spare time again soon.

• Miss Jones – we’ve had our last weekend together and now it’s just down to a couple of mid week visits over the next two weeks and then that’ll probably be it. She’ll be home from her parents’ place for four days before she leaves for good, but I’m not sure if I’ll get to see her then. I’m still particularly unhappy about it all, but what can you do? She’s gotta do this, I’ve gotta stay and sort my shit out so it is what it is. I am just going to wish my very hardest that the UK gets a terrible cold snap so she realizes how shit it is to live through a Northern hemisphere winter and come back home. It’s shitty.

• Boot camp - Running. So much running. Also lots of jumping, crunching and otherwise working muscles that have not been disturbed for many years. I hurt badly last week after only two sessions so I am definately not slacking off, this week I’m going three times and I imagine it will be just as bad. I don’t hate it, it goes quickly enough and the trainer is mean but in a good way. I haven’t met anyone else who seems particularly cool yet, but you can’t have everything, right?

• Work - I just hate it. It’s just unnecessarily complicated and dramatic. It’s 100% about making the most money for the company and the kids don’t get a mention, so long as they are maintained at a level that makes parents keep sending them, no one cares. The resources aren’t that good, there is a huge number of unqualified staff and it’s usually just a stressful stiuation to place your child in. I am becoming hugely disenchanted with the industry and I’m doing my best to get out of it. Over the weekend I applied for three jobs, all of which will pay me a fair chunk more than I get at the moment for doing not a great deal.

Well, I woul keep writing but I am literallly falling asleep as I sit here. Considering it’s only an hour until I need to be galloping around a park I need to sort this out and get some energy back, more later!!
