Back To Reality

Well it's official, I need a holiday.  LOL!  I feel like I never left.  What happened to my massive trip to North America??  It feels like a life time ago.

I've managed to fall right back into my role at work and man is it stressful.  Well, maybe not completely stressful, but a lot of pressure, full time work, dealing with both sides of the coin (management and co-workers), you could say work is tiring.  But I do enjoy working for IKEA, they are a great company and the people there are great, so can't complain too much ;)

I can't really say anything too exciting has happened since I've been back.  My birthday's come and gone, worked all day, then had dinner with some family.  Just another day really.  I'm thinking I'm going to book off next year though b/c even if I don't do anything for my birthday, staying home for it is way better than working.

I did a presentation in front of the board last week.  I suppose that is kind of exciting.  The board meeting was all about growth that's happened in the store, going to happen and our new FY13 business plan which will come into action in August.  So I did a little spiel on what kind of growth we've had/having in the restaurant.  Luckily we did a dry run of it the day before the board committee came, so I got to shake off the public speaking cobwebs.  All in all went well, everyone seemed pleased with it.

Dan's work is all in all the same.  He's really getting into his role now as Team Leader, learning the ins and outs of the business and all the fun stuff just like me :)  Junior's been good, I don't think he's grown much bigger for a while.  His new favorite spot in the house is right over top of the ducted heating, too cute, he lies right on top of it so we never get any heat in the living room! :P

I've been pretty sick as of late.  And seem to get sick quite often.  So after dealing with some crap doctors, I finally found one that seems to care a bit more and has helped me out.  I had a blood test yesterday and will get the results next week to see if I'm deficient in anything or if I just have a shotty immune system.  Hopefully it's something that's fixable.

So we're off to look at a Harley Davidson tomorrow.  Well not really look at it as we have already done so and test driven it.  Off to buy it I suppose you could say, as long as we get the price we want.  He's trading in his crotch rocket for a sexy looking Harley.  So who knows, by the end of tomorrow we could be Harley owners! :D  Exciting!!

Well, I suppose it's time to sign off for this time around.  Thinking of all of my family and friends always!  Being sick this last week put me in a bit of a homesick downer, but I'm perking up :)  Always hard to be away from family and friends, especially when I'm sick, but so nice to know that I've got such wonderful people in my life no matter the distance.  Love to you all.  Until next time xxx
