Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 125: Monday ahoy!

Went to work for a few hours this afternoon and then back with Steve to his place for dinner (Oricco chicken plus his own mash and veges), working on giant ABBA poster for Eurovision party and then slept over ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 85: Jobs and the art of movie going

Early morning walk to see my lovely Communicare person ... in pouring rain ... thankfully brought an umbrella in case the heavens opened.

Alas Newtown's gutters overfilled almost instantly and my though my top stayed dry, my sneakers did not which made browsing in HUM etc afterwards a tad uncomfortable.

Um .. okey-dokey then ...

Waz was coming back from a doctor's appointment and we caught up for a quick cheap bite to eat at one of the new cafes next to Newtown station ...

Back home to apply for jobs, blog etc then back to Newtown that night to see a preview of The Grand Budapest Hotel with Waz, followed by dinner at Happy Chef afterwards ... 

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 62

Got lots done - lots of blog posts, cleaning up, job hunting, reading ... great day!

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 23: Watched Torchwood (plus did lots of stuff)

In between all the endless job hunting, applications and blogging, I managed to watch an old episode of Torchwood which reminded me what a great show it is ... or was.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 20: Bliss of a quiet Abbott

Busy day job hunting, blogging etc and watched some news on News 24 and as usual when our right wing nut job PM comes on the screen, I muted him.

BLISS.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 345 - To Newtown and Homebush ... and back again

One of the delightful parts about being unemployed and receiving Centrelink payments is going to see my appointed jobs provider. I do mean that sarcastically but not because they aren't pleasant or helpful people.

It's just that going there reminds me I don't have a job, that all my applications have so far failed to yield a job (though I have got very close twice).

Today's session was very quick - Chloe was lovely and impressed with my efforts to find work and do the Photoshop course, remarking that she wished more people would give finding work as much effort as I have - and so I was in and out quickly, which gave me time to enjoy the street art in Enmore Road.

And get some supermarket shopping done too :) And see a movie, Kill Your Darlings too ...

Then off that evening to see Alicia Keys at Allphones Arena at Homebush.

Train trips (both directions) went smoothly, we actually found healthy food (lean tandoori chicken skewers on rice with salad) and both John Legend and the headline act were AWESOME.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 301 - Monday bl**dy Monday

Blogging, job hunting and walking oh my! And of course the latest episode of The Walking Dead when Aidan came home, plus lunch with Elle in Newtown at Moshi Moshi Gyoza ... fab!!

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 297 - Disappointment, chocolate and Thai

Busy day vacuuming and re-arranging boxes in wardrobe - had been walking through it over last 2 days too and culled lots of paper and rearranged lots of stuff; felt so good to get so much done! - but day marred by ABC Dig telling me "thank you but no thank you"and not even an interview so did what anyone would do and ate the Cadbury choc bunny I found in one of the boxes. Ah comfort food, we love thee!

Went walking with Waz and then as Steve came back from Bathurst tonight, he picked me up and we went and had dinner at Sun Thai and I stayed the night. Lots of huggles!

He looks SOOO evil ... tasty but EVIL

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 260 - Flat as a pancake

Up in Newtown and found out a hoped for interview wasn't happening ... so was naughty and turned to comfort food and comfort reading ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 253 - So much to do ... really

Reading and blogging and Ellen oh my! (Plus cleaning, job hunting Parks and Recreation s2 watching.)

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 248 - Ebay-a-thon day 1

Much ebaying was done today ... along with the usual flurry of social media-ing, job hunting, exercising etc ... and seeing Mortal Instruments: City of Bones in the City with Waz (lunch at MYER Foodcourt) ...

... and my gorgeous guy came back from Bathurst tonight and we had dinner at Smash Sausage Kitchen which he paid for ...
