Things... Can only get better...

It's been an interesting week or so...

The previous week was pretty much a non event in terms of any major movement. Kez and I seemed to be bumming around the house from day to day waiting for the mail to arrive or the phone to ring. Of course nothing happened... Days rolled by, we woke in the morning and had breakfast, made lunched for Madison and Charlotte and took them to school; we picked them up in the afternoon and had tea... Yeah, same old, same old...

On Saturday, we loaded up the car and headed down home. My Uncle Trevor came up from Brisbane and we were not missing a chance to catch up with him and his daughter Miranda. For those who are not aware, there is not an awfully large age difference between Trevor and I and Miranda is between Madi and Charli in age...

Anyway, we had a great time catching up and visiting family in Proserpine. Something I can say I haven't had for a while. I tend to try to avoid the town like the plague if I can... It saddens me that nothing there seems to have changed since I left...

Anyway all that aside, we had a good weekend... But as Howard Jones would say, things can only get better...

 Monday our rooster took a legs up... Goodness, but it's quite here. Oh, and the pet shop relieved us of our kittens... Life is as it should be... Quite... Still though, nothing much on the news front...

Tuesday, Non event...

Yesterday, Oh... My... Goodness...

Walked out to meet the postie to finally find my Parking permit had arrived. It will be nice to not have to park down one end of a car park and limp to the door... Suddenly Kez wants to go shopping in Townsville... The kids are pretty excited too, no more looking for a parking spot, there is always plenty of  Disabled parks available... On the downside, they can only use the permit if I'm with them...

Shortly after, we received an email from Rosemary, my QR case worker. It stated that Marcus McAuliffe (the QRNational Coal EGM) had finally signed off on my medical retirement and that we should be getting something in the mail to this effect within the next week... As much as I'm not looking forward to not working any more, I'm still looking forward to this letter in a funny kind of way... I think all that is left now is for me to sign and return the paperwork and we're all done... Why do I have mixed feelings about this???

Which brings us to today... Another nothing day really... Sitting in front of the computer, driving a train simulator, mucking about on Facebook... Yup, more of the same... Probably tomorrow too I suppose...

Anyhoo, until next time...

Cheers,
Jason...
