Sorted!

I'm so happy to report that after a long and heart wrenching battle I've got full legally recognized custody of wee me! I'm sad for her father and the love that I once had for him. I'm sad that lies and deceit and desire for self satisfaction where so great that he let it overtake his life to the point where he had no option but to give up his part in the life of his own child. But also happy about better futures and more positive directions for both her and I. So yes, its' a bit bittersweet but we'll focus on the sweetness as we've had just about enough of the bitterness to last a lifetime.

I've been a busy beaver doing job interviews and laying out future plans and getting things sorted. It feels like spring so too bad it's winter... perhaps we should skip on over to Australia and enjoy their summer instead!?!?

So thank you lucky stars and powers that be as well as friend and family for getting me through these dark days.

I think I could quite possibly be at risk...

Of getting a sun burn through the window. After so many days of gray the sun has finally come out here and I'm soaking up some well needed vitamin D.

My ipod has been re-named to Lazarus as after some kind person in my gym left a present of a puddle of water in the ipod holder on the treadmill it got fizzled... but after some drying out near to the heat register, it came back to life! I'm all too pleased as I really would be very sad to not have it with me at the gym! And I really don't want to drop another 250 bucks for a new one right just now!

I actually had to write a letter to the tax office here requesting to pay taxes... It felt against the law of nature to do so but, required... but after you've been away for a while your tax number becomes inactive. Bank account re-opened and I think nearly ready to acutally invoice for all the work I've been doing. Slowly and surely I'm getting back closer to even after all the expenses that i've had to absorb lately. Secretly I'm convincing myself that I"ll have a big fat 'tropical holiday fund' sorted... a girl can dream can't she?

Dreaming is good, and damn it when my next holiday does become a reality i'll know that i've damn well earned it triple-fold!

(insert me here please)
