Moving on and moving out

So much has happened in recent times I am not really sure what to include in the Blog. I guess I'll include the big things for now and flesh things out another time.

Ivan and I have cancelled our holiday to Japan and NYC. On the one hand I am bummed because it was my dream trip and also we lost a fair bit of money not thinking of not going before we'd paid for everything. On the other hand it is good we're not going for many reasons. I think I will keep my time off work though and am looking at going to Queensland for a few weeks instead, to not only visit my family and go to my cousin's wedding but also to go and see Glen for a bit. It gives me something to still look forward to over Christmas, even if it is closer to home.

Ivan on a whim last Thursday morning woke up and decided to fly to Okinawa for a few days to meet a girl. Things went really well for him and he is really happy at the moment, for which I am glad. I'm actually looking forward to meeting her as she sounds really nice.

Also at around that time I moved out and now have a new housemate. This being the second week and I am feeling more at home than I did last week. It's a pretty cool arrangement and my housemate is pretty easy to live with so I really can't complain.

Work has been extremely busy of late and for a time there it was stressing me out greatly due to everything else going on in my life but things are starting to return to normal in that regard too.

Normal - an interesting choice of word. Nothing actually feels "normal" anymore but rather, it is back into a routine I suppose you could say, and that is probably a good thing.

As a closing, I have [foolishly] signed up for Bootcamp with the gym which starts at the end of this month. It'll be very hard I'm sure but it'll be good to focus on something healthy. I am drinking far too many beers of late...
