...and typing this on my bed in my old room at my parents' house, with my beautiful puppy asleep beside me. Despite my extreme exhaustion at the moment, life is gooooood.

4 sleeps until I see the dog. 8 sleeps until annual leave. 9 sleeps until Melbourne!!!

Got back to G-town last night after a staff conference and a weekend in The City. Frustratingly, I got in at about 7pm, and couldn't find a single shop open - not even to get bread or milk - and so I ended up having fish and chips for dinner. After a fairly icky week food-wise. So my waistline is particularly unimpressed this morning.

The short trading hours, plus the desperate need to exercise by going to a 6pm aquarobics class tonight, meant that I drove the 5 minute walk to work, just so I could go to the supermarket during my lunch hour. Of course because I was rushing around I didn't get half of the things I needed, but I now have dinner for tonight, plus bread and milk. Hurrah! Who knew that moving to G-town would mean that I would celebrate obtaining bread and milk? Oh well, celebrate the victories because they are few etc etc. I am really going to have to hunker down with respect to planning meals. I'm so used to just popping across the road at 8pm to do the grocery shopping every second night that planning a week in advance is weird.

The staff conference was blatantly a junket, and an expensive one at that, but was still good fun. It was great to catch up with all the staff from the other regional offices, who I essentially have nothing to do with and only ever see when they come down to The City, and now I won't even get that. I've proposed, however, that the staff from the two regions meet half way between the offices for an informal get together sometime during the year, which would be super fun. The conference resulted in the usual bitching and griping, scurrilous rumours about inter-office hook-ups, and a lot of laughs. I also engaged in some serious discussion and some seriously embarrassing dancing. There's nothing as hilarious as a wobbly white girl attempting to krump, except maybe a skinny white boy attempting to disco.

Anyway, I'm attempting to get work done today, and it isn't really happening. I'm really not used to sharing an office, and my new office mate is bugging me a bit, probably mostly because I'm a grumpy bitch. I'm a bit "in the deep end" right now, and am struggling to establish a plan of action to get to shore. I'm sure it will come to me, however. Eventually. Plus my soul is all shiny and happy today after a weekend playing with the puppy. She was so excited to see me, and the feeling was mutual. And I guess my parents are alright too. 

If you could teleport to any place in the world right this second, where would you go?

My parents' home, to give them and my puppy dog big big hugs...

So furry, so hugable
