One change after another

This week I resigned. I won't be leaving until the end of the year, but I need a reference asap for the WA ed department and hanging onto the secret that I was going was starting to rot my soul. My boss and the few people I've told (it will be announced when the ad for my job goes in the paper) are sad to see me go and have said they'll really miss me - which is so lovely to know and hear. And now I feel rejuvenated about work, happy to be going, excited about the things that are coming up, including the challenges. It is amazing what a change this is for me, especially after spending the weekend sobbing and miserable.

The other thing I've done is re-learnt how to knit. I used to knit when I was a kid but haven't for years and years. So on Sunday, after looking at expensive books and looking at the library for something I eventually went to Spotlight and found a simple 'magazine' type thing, bought some needles and wool and started knitting. It has consumed my time at home as I just can't wait to get back to it. Even thought the scarf I'm making is wonky and weird - it is for the bf and he doesn't mind - it doesn't matter. I'm making something and it feels great.

So I guess it is all positives this week. The bf and I keep talking about what we want for our new life and this dreaming is so important and lovely. Things, perhaps, aren't so bad.
