If there was no more work to do for this certain employer ever again

it wouldn't be too soon :)

Someone got the I've worked more than humanly possible lately and can do no more syndrome? *raises hand* I'm doing my very best to finish this last project for them perfectly. A swan song... best not be a black swan!

Life admin tasks pile up and my room is a wash of legal documents and various other admin things that I've had to contend with in these pas few months. Thinking back, i'm not quite sure how i plowed through it all... It's not over yet. I'm still waiting for the Visa for wee me too arrive... and they have my passport too so it's a waiting game... they said it can take 12 weeks... i had less than 4 when I sent it in. So I guess it's up to the fates now. How much did it hurt to pay that fee for the damn visa? A lot! But hey... it's all part of the process.

I feel like I've forgotten to buy like a zillion xmas presents but you know what? Right now it's just too damn bad. The minute I close the lid on the laptop on xmas even afternoon I hope to be done with it for a good long time... ha who am I fooling?

Happy almost xmas everyone!

This year no one was screaming

but they do look quite serious.


Sienna, Charlotte & Isabella and the trusty Brampton Santa

Work is slowly easing off a bit which is good so I can actually maybe work normal hours and perhaps have the first weekend off in ages... it is xmas and all.

Am I finished my shopping? Lord knows. You get what you get folks and Karm... this year yours is subversive! The clerk didn't know what that meant. I giggled. I'm mean.

I know.... hey well i've paid it forward a bit with regards to karma so lets call it even shall we?

Just a little bit sad

It's been just a little bit sad as for the past year my grandfather has been quite ill and not really getting better... It's great that we're here to spend some time with him but I fear his time is nearly up. I mean he's nearly 92 so that's amazing. It's just hard to see people suffer as they get weaker and weaker and there isn't much you can do to keep their spirits up. So we've been doing daily visits to him and my Grandma to try and keep things jolly. Mum has been baking up a storm and we're carting the goods over to them to enjoy. It's really the strangest thing as you feel terrible that you can't do anything to make it better. Life can be one great challenge after another, learning how to balance the positive and keep focusing on the 'now' is key especially when a loved one is nearing departure.

We're doing our best how to figure it all out and stay strong. Hang on gramps! It's so very nearly xmas.
