End of Work

Now is the beginning of an uneasy time for us, or at least an incredibly hectic time. Perhaps most importantly, my job at the Kirks Christmas Shop is coming to an end. (Today was my last day in the shop, and next week will be spent packing everything away...) To add to the tension of beginning the jobhunting process once again will be the stress of finding a new place to live in the next few weeks, not to mention actually closing the deal and getting successfully transferred.

On the plus side, our Australian holiday is coming up, although the timing of it pushes it right into the thick of everything else we have to worry about, and besides the distraction it provides there's also the damage the trip will do to our bank accounts. However, we've been looking forward to it too much to let that bother us.

Also coming up is a visit from Emily's grandmother, who has arrived in NZ and should be in our fair city on Monday afternoon. Emily has also been incredibly excited about this, and I'm sure will update on what occurs during her stay.
