Counting down to launch date

My web design is DONE. HOORAH!!!! And it looks amazing. The lovely Sarah from Crackers Art is a total legend. I've been getting some good advice from some friends who have their own online businesses and might have a bit of work to do with re-jigging the back end set-up so that it all runs smoothly but that's ok. I'm getting very excited!

My placement is going well too. But it's going oh so quickly! I can't believe I've done six weeks already. I'm seeing my own patients and doing some ward rounds etc. I'm all Grey's Anatomy and loving it. Call me Meredith.

Mav is home for the long weekend and Miss Annabelle is super excited about that. She's totally over me at the moment. All she wants is her dad.

And I think that's it for updates. Hopefully I'll be announcing the Grand Opening very soon!!

The irony

ok, so irony probably isn't the word because "irony" apparently has some really complicated meaning and we all use it incorrectly. I highlight this so that all the would-be English teachers and grammar nazis don't feel the urge to correct my use of the word. I know it's not right but I'm using it anyway.

So... the irony is this:

I didn't want to move to Adelaide. I kicked and screamed and protested loudly. But I had to come here to be with husband. (Husband who spent almost half the year overseas last year mind you, but that's another whinge...)

So I left my house and friends and my beautiful little Summer Hill community and came to Adelaide and I was unhappy for quite a long time despite my best efforts to make the most of it. But that's ok because I like it now. I'm not complaining about Adelaide.

But here's the irony... now husband has gone. Husband who convinced me of what a great place Adelaide would be to raise a family, and of how he had a long term career path with his employer (people have been there for 25 years, you know!) and how happy we would be if I just gave it a chance.

So here I am in Adelaide, where I never wanted to be, and husband has headed off to greener pastures while I finish what I started here. As Alanis Morrissette would say.....

One of my favourite songs at the moment

If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe
