pressure to move again

Claudia and I were taking about the house yesterday. She is keen to move to Williamstown to get away from the noise and to get a bigger room for Ella and be in the high school zone. The plan was to rent another place and rent our house out. I said that if we considered we would never move back in then I would like to look at our options of selling outright, just because the rent for a bigger house would be more than what we could rent our place for and I reckon the extra money would be dead rent money that we would be better off having going towards a mortgage. Nobody wants go through the act of moving again so soon but as I say Claudia is keen to get away. There is no immediate pressure to jump though, we have 3 years until Ella starts high school.

The big project was launched lunch time yesterday. It was a real effort by everyone to get it up on time. The site is impressive in its depth.

Today I was told I would in fact be paid for the three Mondays I worked on my day off, only the Sunday would be counted as a day in lieu. Just when I was getting used to the idea of having a week off! But the extra money will come in handy I am sure. Now I am glad I didn’t make a song and dance over the shoddy treatment. Things that need attention are building up.

I am dropping in to a group exhibition on my way home tonight. Peter sent me an invite but was then ambiguous over whether he in fact had any works in the show.

We don’t know each other but we both knew oobi/Jenne. Her brother Moo shared the following with me last night and I promised I would pass it on (I also posted this on her last entry, so my apologies if you have already seen this): “it is hard to put into words but let me try and relieve some of your pain by letting you know that she knew it was her time to go. That may be difficult to comprehend but she left messages which my Mum and I have found telling us how we should be feeling about her passing and what to do when it happened. Her body had given up after so many surgical operations and she had wounds and infections on her body which were not healing. She didn’t wish to be in any more pain I guess. She passed peacefully and on her own terms which is exactly how she wanted it to be. Please share with others whom I don’t know that her online world was her sanctuary, her friends there were extremely valuable and most importantly, she would want us to celebrate her time with us and cherish the memories. I hope this helps and we must all grieve in our own way.” *Hugs*
