Well I made it. I now live in the South Island again
I know it is a good move, pretty early in the settling in stage though, so i often find myself wondering what the hell I've done.
Right now My sister and her new son are visiting from Ireland, and living in what *will* be my room for a month, so I get to bunk with my mother - ack! I also don't have anywhere to unpack anything to, so I live out of a suitcase.
I am trying to set up my business again, but my pre-arranged workroom fell through and so far I haven't found an alternative other than the kitchen table - working from home was NOT what I planned, but in the meantime it will have to do.
So for the past week my life has been spent running from one place to another trying to set up new accounts to make the business run from here - big city, can take half a day to organise one small thing, and there are many small things to do!
Social life has picked up already - all the friends who left town in Palmerston North seemed to go here, and many old friends from Dunedin days have migrated this direction as well, so lots of catching up going on. Going out tonight to surprise one of them tonight, that will be fun.
I've had DSL internet at home longer than most in NZ - it was expensive and not advertised when I had it connected. A couple years later they advertised it and started deals etc - now they are giving away DSL modems and the deals are far better than when I first signed up. So I've been online basically 24/7 for the past 5 years - not sitting at the PC but it was always instantly there when I wanted it..... So its a little disturbing for me to have to share the connection with my brother. Will need to get a wireless network set up in the near future because I'm just not used to the internet not being a constant convenience. Shopping around for a good deal on a fast wireless set-up to sort that one out.
So things have changed pretty majorly for me recently. Popped into Uru a few times since i got the PC set up but so far not for long because there's always an appointment to get to..... that will sort itself out soon enough... More time will become available. Town hall meeting tomorrow I must make it to though, to actually spend a little time talking would be nice.... i do miss it.
Hopefully Beta will start soon too - I doubt I'll be in the first group for it, but it will be exciting when I do get in! Really looking forward to being as involved in it as I can - experiencing what everyone from prologue has been talking about - can't wait :)
Yeah. So thats me right now - upheaval, insecurity, growing lack of money lol - but headed in the right direction. Off now to do some work so I can at least fix the money part!
