Boo!

So much for my intention to blog regularly! Heres a little update, and i'm going to try and avoid dot points as they were a bad habit in my previous blogs. 

As mentioned previously, I am running now. I run three times a week, an unheard of activity three months ago! I actually enjoy it, which is the biggest shock of all. I get to listen to my tunes (ah, unrestricted music! No one to complain!) I work out my pent-up work frustrations and explore the neighbourhood. It's all much more fun than I expected. Slowly working my way up to running a whole 5 k in its entirety. Shauna and Julia from Up and Running and the virtual cheer squad have helped me so much. 

P turned 5. We had a play centre party with his friends from child care and I made a super dodgy Tardis cake, which I stayed up until 1am the night before making and stuffing up. It's pretty easy to impress a five year old boy with cake, thankfully! He now has more Lego than is necessary. Well, one half of me believes that. The other thinks you can never, ever have enough Lego. After the cake frenzy, we hit the mountains for two days of much needed post-birthday relaxation. We expected snow. Instead we got t-shirt weather. Not to be put off, we still put the wood fire on every night. And remade plans to buy a house up there. One day. 

With P's birthday came the realisation that I have to enrol him in school for next year *gulp*. That's finally taken care of and we're starting to get excited about it all. 

Asides from that, I had a job interview. I didn't get the job but I think that might be for the best. At the moment it's hard to tell how things will work out with school next year. I'm tired of going over that all in my head continually, so I just going to ride out the rest of the year and wait and see. 

I've also kind of started a book club with a group of strangers I met on a closed group on FB. A question where I wanted to suss out book clubs in my area evolved when it turned out there were a few of us in the same boat. We're meeting in a pub next week to meet each other and discuss books we could cover. The main point of our group is that we meet less frequently than others, giving everyone the opportunity to catch up. 

Yes, life is a little dull around these parts. The perils of working full time and having exhaustion eating into my spare time, I suppose.
