One of those days

It has been one of those days, is all i can say, i can almost stretch it to one of those weeks. I found out today that Tim's transfer that he applied for to move here has been denied, for some really silly reason, that i cant completly understand and i think i zoned out when he said that it had been knocked back.
From what i can understand they said no because they think that he/i/we deliberately had me transfer to Mildura so that he could get out of his contract, which he has to still do 18 months of. I cant understand how they think this, he was really specific in the report and advised that the reason for his transfer was because of me, and my transfer was because of my very ill grandfather and the fact that i was not enjoying my work in the Swan Hill office as much as i was wanting to, and then the opportunity that i will get here in the Mildura office far out weighs what i will get in the Swan Hill office the office here is twice the size with obviously twice the staff, and more opportunity for promotion. They (the police) are claiming that i done this just so that Tim could break his contract... Honestly i am not that nasty, i would like to be but i am not, but if they are going to put words in my mouth they can think again as i will be saying something about it.
I am just miserable at the moment, and feel sick. It makes me feel better to know that Tim is feeling the same way. Although he said that if it comes to that he will just go on stress leave.

Ok that is all for now

ANTS!!!!!

OMG i found this ant in my bathroom today, i was in the process of trying to get ready for work, and i was feeling a bit lazy and not really focusing on what i was doing, UNTIL.....

I saw this ant crawling around in my basin, i normally dont have a problem with ants, but this particular ant gave me the creeps.... I thought to myself that there is no point yelling and screaming about the issue, as at the moment i am still living on my own, (waiting for Tim to get his transfer) and i figgured that spike and horse (the cats) would not really be able to offer any assistance. As a result i had to take a deep breath and turn the tap on and try and flush it down the plug using the nail clippers for good measure. When i was unable to see that nasty beast any more i was satisfied that it was gone and went back to getting ready for work. Only to observe the nasty beasty crawling around again, i am not sure how this could have happened really as i thought i was pretty efficent in ridding the nasty the first time, (obviously not) and so yet again i had to get rid of the beast, this time i squashed it first and then washed it down the sink, and decided at this point i needed to get to work ant or no ant!!!!

All of this and it is still only 9.40am as i type this, i am hoping the rest of the day will go well, am feeling a little achy today from the back and bicep workout i done on monday, was pretty good though, as last week when i done the same exercise....

OOOpps am late for a meeting, will see you later

Fresh new start

Well, here i am finally in sunny Mildura. I am exhausted from all the moving and running around i have done in the last week. I spent all of last week living out of a suitcase at my parents house or Tim's parents house with my furniture in various sheds around town. I begged and pleaded and managed to get myself into the house a day early, unfortunately not early enough as i was just finishing the last load of stuff, which was my bed and mattress and accessories and the rain came.... I managed to get stuff off the back of the trailer but still was stuck between the house and the car port holding my stuff in the air wondering if i needed to break the bed down and start building an ark.

I managed to get the stuff inside, but it ended a little wet, but fixable. My father and i ended up standing in the rain soaked to the bone with very little we could do about it, but it was great to see the rain finally. Not something that is seen around these parts much at all, and as a result our poor drains could not cope with the sudden flood. Some properties reported a few inches in a matter of a couple of hours!!!! But in the same note it only took a few more hours and it was all gone again. Friday was spent with light rain and the odd shower, but it was great to see and wonderful for my new garden. The property that i have moved into is really nice, (will put some pic's up soon) but will need a bit of work on the garden, something that i intend on doing in the next 2 weeks, and setting up the out door entertaining area.


Yet again time is flying by. I have had a great week and i am feeling so proud of myself and surprisingly healthy. I am loving being back in Mildura with some really good friends and family to support me. Gym this week was awesome, and i enjoyed every minute of it. Was easy to get to as i was on holidays and so i could fit it in around my lazy days, but i managed to achieve all that my program set out and a few extra games of netball and a swim in there as well along with 2 powerwalks. I moved house and lifted everything from fridges and washing machines and couches (i looked at it as a bit more of a workout). Was pretty full on but it is all done now and i am settled.
I was surprised that half way through the week i started to feel fantastic again, it is amazing how quick your body works when you are eating right and exercising, i felt great!!!! And to add to my pleasure, i lost a kg this week and a cm here and there on my chest and waist. YAY for me.

Food was pretty good, my parents are on a health kick as well and so they have a good lot of options and variety in their fridge and pantry for me, so i ate lots of cold meats and salads was good and an easy option. I had the family around for dinner last night and had that as my luxury meal, but still managed to throw some healthy options in there, and cooked a spit roast, (i love this as it allows all the fat to drain away) and a salad the family loved it and didnt even realise they were eating healthy food.

This week is going to be even better, back in the routine of healthy eating, i have Tim at home today cooking up a weeks worth of meals and snacks and i have my gym partner who works less than a block from me all set to go to the gym tonight and then after that is a game of netball thrown in for extra luck and cardio. I am so pleased to be back in Mildura that i know i will be fine with my eats and gym now.

Will be looking forward to a few extra things again this week, and hope to catch up with a few extra walks with my mum or something like that... :)

Jodie and Sue - if you check this out at any point would love to join you on the odd walk or extra session thrown in, let me know will be there in a flash....

TTFN
