This week is going to be a big week, for a couple of reasons. Jason's daughter is going home to Ohio, and tomorrow I start a new job.
I'm going to be a management trainee for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Not my dream career, but it's going to open doors and it's going to get me leadership experience in the US on my CV - nobody seems to give a toss about anything I achieved in my two years at BT over here, but Enterprise did, and that's good enough for me. I'm very excited about new adventures and challenges, but was very sad leaving the Universal crowd yesterday, who really are a fabulous bunch of people. It's not forever though - I've stayed seasonal, so I will be back there for the peak times and the fun times :)
The summer with the mini-Jason here has gone surprisingly quickly. Overall I would give myself a B-, being generous. It turns out that the keeping-the-small-person-alive is actually relatively easy. Even Trying to form some sort of bond, or relationship, has proved the trickiest bit. We've had our moments of good fun, and there haven't been any arguments, but feeling anything has been problematic, and if I was judging myself on that part alone I'd probably give myself a D at best. It does not feel like a good omen for - God forbid! - any of my own kids I may have.
In more positive news, it's less than two weeks til the big move and my inner domesticated wife could not be more excited. My outer non-domesticated wife is also extremely excited! We've got quite a lot of stuff in boxes, paint colours have been selected, and we have a very long list at Ikea that will burn a very large hole in my credit card, but one that I am happy to burn!!
So there are lots of changes right now, but most of them are good. I am hoping it's going to breathe new life into me after a difficult few months of adjustment. I feel that good things are around the corner :)
