Life

My life seems to be going in swings and roundabouts right now. One day things look good, the next the world is caving in.



Work is causing a lot of headaches and while I generally enjoy my job and I really enjoy working for my current manager there are others in my department who seem to think that speaking to me in a rude manner is ok, and I am over it now. I don't deserve some of the crap I have been putting up with.



There have been a few other things happen that have really left me wondering if I am working for the right company. I have decided to start looking for a new job. Hopefully I can find one in the valley to cut down on my travel. Even more hopefully I can find one that will pay the same so I can still look at buying a house.



The other things in my life almost seem to be life as normal, although they are still causing a lot of background stress so to speak. My neice is in her 6th month of cancer treatment. She spends one week down in Christchurch hopsital(in the south island) and the other week back at home with visits to Wellington hospital to check her blood counts and all those kind of things.



We are of course all still very worried about the outcome of all the treatment and its hard watching her go through some very painful side affects and the regular surgeries. she now has hundreds of beads on her necklace.



I am also watching a couple of other people I am close to face serious illness and I feel like at times that I am walking on eggshells waiting for that call. The doctors don't know what is wrong with one of these people and has basically just put it down to old age and we are left watching him slowly lose more and more weight and become more and more frail.



Its amazing how quickly these things just become part of your normal life, and life just carries on whether or not you like it. I do have a few things coming up to look forward too. This weekend I am going to a wine and food festival, we got tickets that include the train ride from Wellington to the Wairarapa where the food festival is. It is promising to be a fun day with lots of performances, wine tasting from some of nz's top vineyards and great food from some of the top restaurants.
