I'm Back

I'm back and boy, am I ever.  I took a bit of a hiatus with landing the new job and I'm happy to announce that I am back in all forms.  Back with new zest and new zeal.  My first week of work went great and it flew by.  I'm supposed to have three weeks of training but I'm doing so well that it might just be a couple more days and I'm on my own.  I just received my first paycheck too, which my Aussie and I are already allocating to the appropriate parts of our new budget. 

I had a great couple of weekends since I last blogged as well.  Last weekend was the Good Vibes festival.  A group of us went and although it rained all day, the shows were great.  I saw The Ting Tings, Kelis, Alo Black, Phoenix, and Ludacris, plus a number of awesome DJs.  This weekend we went to the beach, had friends over for a BBQ and then just vegged and got ready for the week on Sunday. 

And on an awesome high note, I was cleared today medically by my GP so the medical check for my new visa application is complete.  My Aussie also discovered that the FBI charged our credit card for my background check on Feb. 10th so hopefully I'll be getting those results back soon.  So all that's left is my letter of clearance from NY State Department of Criminal Justice and we can submit the application.

So it looks like Mom and Dad were right.  Everything will work itself out in its due time.  You can't rush it, manipulate it or control it.  And although I hate to admit this, I do know it's true.  You can plan but be prepared to throw out those plans and start over.  Or at least save those plans in a color-coordinated and properly labeled file for another time...
