For once in my life, I actually have a plan for the next year of my life. I've never planned that far ahead, the furthest would be 6mths and even then, it wasn't me that came up with the plan. And though this one also seemed to fall into place by itself (at least the start of it), it's still MY plan. I cant believe how easily everything seems to be falling into place, even though Ive been struggling for the last few months.
As most of you know, Im currently unemployed - have been since I got sick in July. I got better then flipped out on accounta the meds I was on for an unrelated health condition. Which is why it took me so long to recuperate enough to start looking for another job. So Ive been looking hard the past month or so, but nothing has eventuated. I realise that the main reason people are hesitant is my pink hair, but as I kept telling potential employers - "if it's a problem, I can dye it back to my natural blonde no problem". Funny how people conveniently forget probably the most important thing I tell them tht could get me the job. My photographer friend is expanding his IT company and will need a receptinist/secretary in th new year but I wasn't prepared to wait that long barely surviving on $200pw.
That was until the phone rang at 7:45am Wednesday. It was the hospital, letting me know that I'll finally be gettng the operation I've been waiting for (for the afore-mentioned health condition) since June in January. So even if I did somehow miraculously get a job before Christmas, chances are they wouldn't give me enough time off to properly recover from said operation. So it works out well.
Hence everything falling into place and a plan evolving. I'll just not buy any presents this year, apart from $2 shop gifts for my little siblings and chocolate for my mummy, spend NYE at home with friends, and not do anything remotely fun unless someone else can pay, and wait until my operation. Recover with friends then start work in February.
Then I continue to not do anything fun, and save up as much money as possible so I can move to Australia as soon as possible
Thanks for listening to my rambles
