Well it's been awhile since my last post, some new developments! Work, I've been offered a job, partime with a view to full time, with a new Pet Supplies place about 10mins from here. Ive accepted the job with a view of working towards some goals, 1- Achieving a full time position, 2- Becoming more than just a "Salesperson". The money seems good even with just the part time position, I will soon know the hourly rate once my paperwork gets here, maybe this week. I'd actually lost hope on this job, I'd applied to it maybe 5weeks ago, but got a call from the HR manager last week for an interview, they called afew days later with the job offer. Its not ideally what I wanted, I really wanted full time work, but the money for 20hrs a week is not much less than what I was earning at the Shelter, so its not all bad, and like I've said, I've got something to work towards so I think it'll be fine....although I've had another phone call for another job interview....
So that's a good start to things, some extra income, and some future career prospects.
Ive also been thinking about other parts of my day to day life, family, pets, health and cars. I'm starting to plan certain things, more goals I guess, looking at some things long term, and also making an effort to have some routine to certain things. The family side of things has been going well, we've had constant outings, nature walks, activities for the kids, and just family days out, I've been going to alot of things too, I used to just stay home when the kids were going out with K, but I've made an effort to change that, quality time with the whole family. Some time with K without kids is next on the cards. The pets, well I've spent more time with the dogs lately, going outside a playing with them, walking will be happening again-this relates to health too.
Health- well I've been lazy, eating crap food, no exercise, gaining weight. So this week, yesterday, I started back on weights, bought a barbell after putting it off for months, I've got a bench that my cousin left here...geez I'm sore today though. Ive planned 4 days of weight training, weekends off, walking a couple of days a week at least, maybe getting a bike to ride. Time to get fit again.
Cars- well I've thought about this lots lately, I cant see myself driving -the car I've been working on-in 10 years, I cant really do the things I want to it, legally, and when its finished, I think I'd still like a Camaro, so rather than spending 2-3years building the current car, then wanting another car 5years from now, I'm biting the bullet and selling all of my current cars and parts, and buying a Camaro. It will cost more to build the actual car, but long term will work out cheaper as I'm only building one car, not two. It will take longer to build, but it'll probably be the last car I build, so time is pretty unlimited now. Plans, plans, plans!!!
So lots happening, and lots of plans, I'm also planning on doing more things with the kids, we spent 1 hour yesterday blowing bubbles in the back yard and laughing at the dog trying to catch them...was a good day, more of that to come...
