School holidays have begun! The girls are having a great time, Saitaoha has been going on play dates, Saitaomei hanging out at the grandparents with her cousin. She also scored a photo with Santa, something she’s been wanting for a long time! To think she’s used to be afraid of Santa and refused to take a photo with him when she was small.
Work’s Christmas party was also a hit. I’m so relieved I recovered from Covid in time to go for the party, I had already missed out on their school Christmas concert. Covid the second time around was awful too, I’m just glad there was a full recovery and now I feel fit as a fiddle. I’m just worried my parents or kids will catch it during our holiday.
I really doubt work will host such a family friendly Christmas event again. It didn’t go down well with the single and ready to mingle folk. So I’m glad while I’m still in the company we managed to have a wonderful time one Christmas 🤶. I know it will be a treasured memory for us.
It’s a pity we won’t be around for T’s birthday, we had a mini birthday celebration for him, I hope he likes his bday present. The girls will miss him this holiday.
I’m just counting down the days to our holiday now. It will be a short one, but I’m hoping what we lack in time we make up with lots of energy and fun.
It feels like it’s signalling the end of my first role in this sector for me. Next year there will be a completely new challenge work wise. I’m both excited and a bit nervous, I’m also worried for the team members that I left behind, I feel like I’ve left them in the lurch. I know they will do well regardless, but this was a very individual and selfish decision that I made for myself.
Ah well I’m sure 2024 will be a much better year than 2023. It has to be. I will look forward to it with positive thoughts and a bright outlook.
