I just wanted to thank all my dear friends for your support and good wishes re my going back to work. I'm feeling great I love my job and I think it's the best thing that could have happened!! I actually wake up in the morning happy and looking forward to what the day will bring I have purpose!! at first I thought omg can I do this again would I be able to meet with the clients as I did before. I think my boss saw this because he sent me to the Hyatt to meet with the property manager for an inspection on Friday I told him I'm not ready he wouldn't have a bar of it and said go.....so I did file in hand knees knocking stomach in knots I entered her office introduced myself shaking her hand and then we walked the hotel she was very pleased with the service we are providing and I took her for coffee all up I spent 2hours with her......success yeah!! I felt so proud of myself and when I returned to our office my boss gave me a wink and said well done Cath as he walked past me...apparently she the client is a very difficult one!! so I think I'll be fine. I know I can't please everybody and I will come across a few unhappy one's you get that!! but for now I'm very happy.
I promise I will not bore you talking about my job....if I do just tell me to shut up LOL

Sunday and I'm rearranging and having a big throw out and getting my life back in order starting with my walk in robe Jen...LOL....I'm also going to turn Jodie's room into my scrap room Rob has set up the other computer in there for me. All I need now is another printer.

I'm watching the Wallabies play the French score so far Aus 17 France 6

My week

Well I got through it OK... man it was hard!! I was in bed by 9.30 every night and slept like a log so that was a good thing. I still have not seen all of my contracts the ones I have seen seem to be running smoothly. Most of the time we are sorting problems from the night before but you get that. I think it will take me a few weeks but I'll get there.
Going shopping tomorrow for some work clothes jumpers and tops mainly it's been so bloody cold especially in the terrace and this morning I got drenched got stuck between buildings...LOL
Thank goodness it's the weekend I need it!!

Happy day's are here again!!

My company car for now!!.... I get another one in 2 weeks

I got a JOB!! yeah I rang my old boss and I start tomorrow!! I'm the new Area Manager in the mornings 5am till 11am I'm wrapped. I also get a car and phone supplied got to love that!!

I'm not worried about it because I know the job so well but it will take a few weeks for my body to fall into line...so that's my good news woo hoo.

I'm so sorry I missed scrappy Sunday at Sharron's but I was so sick with you know what!! and spent the day in bed.

I AM ME IN ALL THE WORLD, THERE IS NO ONE ELSE EXACTLY LIKE ME EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF ME IS AUTHENTICALLY MINE BECAUSE I ALONE CHOSE IT
I OWN EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, MY BODY,MY FEELINGS, MY MOUTH, MY VOICE, ALL MY ACTIONS, WHETHER THEY BE TO OTHERS OR TO MYSELF I OWN MY FANTASIES, MY DREAMS, MY HOPES, MY FEARS I OWN ALL MY TRIUMPS AND SUCESSES, ALL MY FAILURES AND MISTAKES BECAUSE I OWN ALL OF ME I CAN BECOME INTIMATELY ACQUANITED WITH ME BY SO DOING I CAN LOVE ME AND BE FRIENDLY WITH ME IN ALL MY PARTS I KNOW THERE ARE ASPECTS ABOUT MYSELF THAT PUZZLE ME, AND OTHER ASPECTS THAT I DO NOT KNOW BUT AS LONG AS I AM FRIENDLY AND LOVING TO MYSELF, I CAN COURAGEOUSLY AND HOPEFULLY LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS TO THE PUZZLES AND FOR WAYS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ME HOWEVER I LOOK AND SOUND, WHATEVER I SAY AND DO, AND WHATEVER I THINK AND FEEL AT A GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME IS AUTHENTICALLY ME
IF LATER SOME PARTS OF HOW I LOOK, SOUND, THOUGHT AND FELT TURN OUT TO BE UNFITTING, I CAN DISCARD THAT WHICH IS UNFITTING, KEEP THE REST, AND INVENT SOMETHING NEW FOR THAT WHICH I DISCARDED
I CAN SEE, HEAR, FEEL, THINK, SAY AND DO I HAVE THE TOOLS TO SURVIVE, TO BE CLOSE TO OTHERS, TO BE PRODUCTIVE, AND TO MAKE SENSE AND ORDER OUT OF THE WORLD OF PEOPLE AND THINGS OUTSIDE OF ME I OWN ME, AND THERE FOR I CAN ENGINEER ME I AM ME AND AT 53...I AM OKAY

Gabby

Home Alone

It's 12.15am and I'm alone Robs gone to WORK!!!!!!!! Looking very smart to in his suit and yep I'm spooked all doors and windows are locked and most of my lights are on. I'm watching the U.S masters golf play off with Tiger and Rocco I'm hoping Rocco wins Tiger Woods is a pain in the bum and such a dummy spitter.

Today I'm ringing a lady about a job hoping to get an interview it's as a cleaning supervisor at a Government school and only 6 hours a day Mon to Fri so fingers crossed it sounds right up my alley easy peasy!!

I've been working on my circle Journal I've picked poetry as my theme...thought it would give you something to think about...lol

Gabby is sleeping next to me on the lounge all snuggled up on my blanket she's my little fury friend (Don't go there Jen!!) LOL I suppose when I go to bed she will too but that's OK she keeps my feet warm. I took some photo's of her before she went to sleep (Above)

You guessed it I'm bored shit-less so thought I would bore you guys to death as well... what are friends for!!

Anyway thanks for dropping by to read my boring post.

This child can sing...what a gift!!

Update

It's been a pretty uneventful week but here goes... Rob went for an interview and got the job yeah! even though it's not what he wanted it's better than nothing. We are still waiting to here from the Karratha job but you know how it is with local Gov they take there time!! and in the mean time we have to earn some money...I still want to do the driving job the only problem is it could take up to a month to get the F class licence.

I've been really sick I picked up that flu that is doing the rounds I'm feeling good now thank god it was only a few days I'm such a wuz..LOL

I have decided to ring scraptivate and see if they can squeeze me in tonight just feeling like I want to break out and see my mates fingers crossed!! I don't think I can handle another Friday night footy and Rob yelling at the ump's.

Spent a really nice day with Barb last week she has just got back from her trip they had a great time and we never run out of things to talk about. Just thinking my friends are very important to me and I'm going to try harder to spend more time with them they bring out the best in me and have been there for me over the last 6 months I love you guys so much thank you I'm blessed xxxx.

OMG Jen just reminded me of my birthday next Wednesday I'll be 50 f 3 and I will welcome it with open arms to be honest I'm enjoying my fifty's it comes with certain privileges it's all good!!
and I'm going to make the most of them.....LOL

REMEMBER......Youth is the gift of nature, but age is the work of art!! Jen..lol

P.S I'm in see you all at scraptavate TONIGHT!!

Finally!!

Yeah at long last I have finally learnt to do a collage of photo's by using Picasa and without help from Rob I'm really pleased with myself...still can't do it using photo-shop but I'll keep plugging away at it. This was one of Kim challenges on scrapncrazy 11 things she gives you a list of words and you photograph them how you see it.

The weekend was a quiet somber one for me especially today. This afternoon I trotted off to Guildford by myself and had a great cup of coffee in the new coffee shop there.... and then looked though all the old shops pity I couldn't buy anything man I love those shops. Life goes by too fast at times and it's just nice to go out on your own little adventure no one to hassle you..well there was a couple of odd guys that hassled me for money but you get that in Guildford there's a couple of dodgy hostels there and they always find me...I wonder why?? LOL

anyway I had a really nice time with myself.

Trying to stay calm

I picked up my camera and went for a walk around Ellenbrook there is this little park I love to go to and just sit and think. I usually take a coffee with me but today I clicked instead of sipping

thought I would share... Char you know it very well!! I will master this taking of photo's if it kills me...lol

It did calm me I've felt ratty all week running out of patients with some people well most people!! even at the shops I seem to be snapping at people one young girl called me sweety today and I barked right back at her where does she get off calling me sweety my god she was about 15 or 16 and then to top it off I went into the newsagent and the girl behind the counter called me lovey grrrrrrr god it annoys me. Yep I know what your THINKING! ....Caths a grumpy old woman and yes I am.....lol

And thanks for Thursday Barb so glad your home I missed ya. xxxx

Hey Barb

Scroll down and on the right you will see YouTube click on pics.
Matchbox 20 enjoy.
Love ya Cath xxx

No sleep again

I 'm cranky I've had no sleep again these bloody pills are not working. (I'm not impressed)
I go to bed and everything is going off in my head....I don't know what to do!! I'm just so fed up with all this bullshit even tried to scrapbook but nothing came to me.
Seems everything is slapping me in the face at the moment...might go see Barb today hope she's home I really need to talk to her... I can't put on a brave face to her she sees right through me.
Maybe just spitting it all out might help...stay tuned

Mum

Update

Starting on Friday night Char, Shelley, Vicky, Nicole and I all went to Jen for a girls movie night and as always had a wonderful time thanks Jen

Saturday was a lazy one I slept most of the day away and stayed in my PJ's. Rob cooked dinner so hence I was up nearly all night!! (bugger) and there was nothing on telly to watch well I did watch mid summer murders man there's a lot of murdering going on in the community...lol.

I could have watched foxtel in Keith's room if I only new how to turn the bloody thing on.

Sunday mmm another lazy day I have done absolutely nothing and don't intend to either.

Rob found my super macro on my camera so I did take some photo's re Flowers above and the other's are of me self portraits and some of me asleep with my cat Gabby on top of me no wonder I don't sleep well Rob took those.

Omg it's June the 2nd in 16 days I'll be 50 fucking three.....Noooooooooooo
