End of holidays

Perhaps I should mourn the coming end of my holidays as I can sense the awful longing for a more significant hiatus from my daily grind.

My long weekend away was fab. Filled with all hosts of new things from exploring relatively new grounds to meeting new people to mainly having a bunch of firsts in the realm of adventure.

Brisbane is pretty much as how I knew it from before. I was there for like a day and if ever I'll go back there again, I'd be exploring the culture that thrives in that city. The malls do not tell you anything.

Stayed overnight in the country just at the border of NSW and Queensland. It's pretty cool because it's more of a village scene than an actual country town in the middle of the absolute nowhere.

Finally went to Dreamworld and Sea World. It was awesome having to go around fab theme parks and having the time of your life doing all things silly. Rode the roller coaster two days in a row.

We were faced with having nowhere to go during our first night in the Gold Coast. We could have gone back to Tweed Heads but it is such a pain having to squeeze in with our new friends as it is such a hassle. It worked out and we checked into a really spacious apartment in the midst of Surfers Paradise.

We kept a tight schedule in Surfers but we did tons of stuff. I was happy to fly back to Sydney and into all things familiar at the end of it all.

Was greeted with a very pleasant surprise when I entered our home. Narlyn's here for the second time! She went back home yesterday and I shed a tiny tear just because I feel for her and I really want her to stay.

It's nice to show Cham around the city and stuff and get her to meet these lovely people around as well. Al got back from Europe and she's got a whole heap of stories to tell but still as stressed and wacko.

Amy flew home mid-week so I'll be making at least a couple of trips to the airport in the coming weeks, sending Cham off and welcoming Amy back.

I am still on holidays from work but I had to cover a tiny shift today for Amanda. I have to admit I am so not into the mood of working anymore. I probably need a longer holiday or maybe an absolute time off. But for some reason I keep visiting work because I've grown attached to those guys.

My publishing career's pretty much on track. I was ecstatic having found that out. =) I got an e-mail account and my business card's coming in the mail soon!

Wonder where my tax return has gone, though.
