THE BEST DAY EVER = September 13th.... NO MORE STRAWBERRIES! I cracked, caved, crumbled and cried. I couldn't hack it anymore so the job and I parted ways. (Happy Dancing for DAYYYSSS!)
To celebrate plus Pete having 2 weeks "spring break" (In the fall. I know, it's weird... I am still getting use to it.) We went camping, which was glorious. There is nothing to do out at Inskip point. No water, no power, and the town (Rainbow Beach) is at 15 minute drive down the road, so it was absolutely wonderful.
I read my book, laid on the beach, went for beach walks and took baby-wipe showers :)
Then started the Job Hunt... for something that has always been in my life and will always be in my life... IT. IS. THE. WORST.... you just pimp yourself out and get major rejection anxiety until one business decides, "meh, she might do". Like WHAT?! who decided that was a good idea? Seriously! ugh but anyway without being unemployed for tooo long I am back in the ol waitressing game. All because of my arch-nemesis EARLS.... the manager at the restaurant I am working at now happened to work at soul sucking Earls in Banff so she knew I could hack it!
Turns out this gig is pretty sweet, I work with some pretty decent chicks and the vibe of the restaurant is my style... plus I get to chat away to strangers about canada :)
On a side note I have discovered I do not fully understand Australian humor or sarcasm.... because I am constantly wondering whether the chefs are REAL cranky or making a joke... Life is hard.
Sidebar: The boss told me they are always joking so never take them seriously... since then my stress level has decreased significantly.
So in between all of that, life has continued... I found a spider in my FRIDGE!!! (it was bigger than a toonie)
Pete and I got Rodger Waters Tickets for February !!!
It was getting stinking hot, then we had a week of rain which turned everything green and beautiful... but also brought on the terrible humidity... which i have been told isn't even bad so suck it up and wait. And now it is getting stinking hot again.
And then, exactly a month to the date that I applied for my second visa the news came and I GET TO STAY!!! All the stress is over, I still dont know if I'd say it was worth it... I cant even eat strawberries yet, but it is DONE and that is all that matters!!!
So the next steps....
Well I sent off my teacher application so I can hopefully teach in the new year.
Pete has 3 weeks left of university!
And we just got home from a weekend full of love as we watched Pete's brother Tim marry Adelle <3
If I am it is obviously not important.... but who is to say you think any of what I just wrote is important you could be skipping my random rambling and just looking at my hot date in the last picture ;) !!
Till next time,
-B
