After years of dreaming and working, Noddie was accepted into a selective entry state school!!! Yay Noddie!! Tricky aspect: it's in Werribee, which is 4 hours from here.
And then we had a collective will we-won't we meltdown!
On a wtf why not whim, I audaciously applied for my dream job in a pain management clinic in Geelong, which is 4.5 hours from here, and got it! Yay me! The decision was made! Tricky aspect: closing my practice in a big hurry (sad face).
I start in late October. Noddie and the Spousal Unit will stay here until the end of the school year and I'll 'commute' on weekends.
We're building up the war chest. There have been hailstorms of sms and email, and many trips to the conveyancer's office.
This last week of work was reduced to two days after I smacked myself in the head very very hard with my car door last Friday and gave myself not only two impressive shiners but, in the immortal words of Zaphod Beeblebrox, the father and mother of a pair of headaches.
Up until then I had been walking to work most days and getting to the gym at least 3 times a week. Yay for fitness!
Oh, and we're going on our long-planned trip of a lifetime to South America for a month on Monday! Yay us! I've packed the concealer 'cause
We've found a house we think we might want to buy. We haven't seen it yet. Maybe on the way to the airport?
#firstworldproblems, eh? *takes deep breath*
Easter Island here we come!
More anon, ancient edifices!
