I had an emotional weeknd. First I finished work at the place I've been for 9 years, then I had a family gathering to say goodbye to my relatives
I've started packing already, don;t want to be rushing at the last minute.

I had a plan for a blog I was gonna post today, I've been thinking of writing about a passage from Far From The Madding Crowd, which I'm currently reading. It was one of those passages where the words resonate within you. You know exactly the feelings it's trying to portray, & it's phrased in words so much richer & more eloquent than you could...

I made a rather amazing banana bread today, tried to do something a little leftfield with it after searching through some different recepies online. I went with one with Pecans, blueberries & sourcream! sounds odd but my goodness it's scrumptious. I'd go as far as to say it's the best banana bread I've ever made.

Just prepared my lunch foods for the first part of my working week
I've started making my own foods to take with me rather than buying something while I'm there, it's cheaper, healthier & a whole lot tastier on the whole
I was gonna go with my usual chicken, but spotted that they had duck breast on offer, so I nabbed some of that Just...

Wow, that sounds like a way more intensive medical than I had to endure! Poor you!
Yeah I've always worked for smaller companies or stores, so I'm not really relishing the prospect of Big Business. But we have about 7k to pay off on the credit cards (thanks to the cost of flights and the US Immigration people) so I really have to go for whatever job pays better right now. Also, you know how shitty the US medical system is - we don't have insurance right now and I'm terrified to even cross the street in case something happens that we can't pay for. So getting insurance benefits would be a plus.
But I really don't wanna be a grown-up and work in a stupid place that has stupid rules about bloody earrings. I've never had to take them out, since the day I got them, and I really don't want to start now. I guess we'll have to see what happens.

Here's the key to the west coast... from friends who have traveled to here and have decided to put up roots and have stayed.
It's Farther West.... you get to reinvent yourself. There's no overbearing history to play to... you have no relatives or their ancestors ghosts that expect you to live up to... and it sounds like it's going to be you.. And the girl you love, and a new experience. Which are all the best reasons to get your ass here....
See, I grew up here ( except for the occasional visits to europe while my Dad was working for NATO ) So to be introduced to such vibrant overreaching culture... and then have it dragged from my grasp without my say... I have to admit i shine towards places with a clear classic Western culture history, as my job... Theatre... which is my passion.... is so routed there, where you are right now. ( Shakespeare anyone...? )
But, this ( BC ) is home, the sky is clear, the water shines and the clean air is like a psycodelic drug... and I think you'll find it welcoming and delicious....
