and, so

i made it to Canberra

and i love it - more than i thought i ever would

i sincerely apologise for not being more attentive to the blog scene, it has been a crazy/busy/wonderful time

again, credit to enny who gave me so much helpful information about Canberra and my new place of employment

the most delightful man in the world is away at the moment, and i miss him more than ever

to provide a brief run down

-i arrived in Canberra in mid January after an absolutely unbelievable and fabulous holiday and a very busy week returning to Perth to finish up work and have all of my worldly belongings condensed into boxes and delivered to the ACT
-once in Canberra i had two weeks in which to relax, however i managed to attract the worlds worst flu and ended up acquainting with the local doctors surgery much earlier than i had planned.
-i made it to my first day of work, albeit with a rather nasty cough and sounding somewhat like an out of work porn star
-the first 3 months of work were interesting, the person who was originally going to be my boss moved on in the organisation and the manager i ended up with was absolutely horrendous
-fortunately the incompetent bitch from hell resigned and i am now rather blessed with an absolutely fabulous manager
-in the mean time i have been offered a transfer to another section, i have to approach the new fabulous boss to see if she will transfer me, it is all rather complicated!
-i have seen some amazing things, met some fabulous people and all in all enjoyed every last minute of immersing myself in the national capital

tonight i looked back on previous posts

last year i deleted all of my original posts because i just wasn't that person anymore

now i look back on the posts i made late last year (after the delete) and i remember how excited and happy i was, that feeling is still with me and growing

it is amazing how things can turn around in such a short time - words just can't describe how happy i am right now

for anyone that has ever considered moving to Canberra, do it. you will not be disappointed.

i hope to make more of an effort with blogging now i am settled, truth be told i have never been that committed in the past

i can't believe how much has happened, i never believed it would happen
