3 months without a blog post is a bit of a fail...

I confess! I have been busy. And preoccupied. Oh and I started another blog about coffee at another blog address, which is so fun to write! Around the World in 80 Cafes. Clever title, no?! I have listed 12/80 or I am 15% completed at this point. I like to throw in a little basic high school maths just so people remember I used to be a Maths teacher.

So things that you should know by now are that I finished work in Toronto, went to NYC and Montreal, visited family in Vancouver, said Hello! to London and Seoul and got home to NZ about a month ago. Also I am expecting a baby! There have been so many goodbye's and hello's and decisions and big thoughts and trips to airports since I was here last.

So here I am at home by myself for what seems like the first time in 3 months. My stream of consciousness is often inflicted on other people, I seem to have half thoughts and then blurt them at someone to have them clarified. So here I am with a little down time and choosing what to write about is tough. So many things are happening and have happened but essentially we are in limbo.

A new job, house, neighbourhood, church, city, country and baby are on the agenda for 2011. Have I mentioned that I occasionally bite off more than I can chew? I did consider taking a paper at uni in August too. Who am I kidding? Every few years I go through these major upheavals but admittedly this current list of new things is a doozy. I used to think I loved change but I am beginning to wonder if I am addicted to it? When I think about it, these things will all be added one by one over the next few weeks and soon enough I will be too busy to consider all the changes as I will instead be in the middle of them. But right now I am at the top of the cliff willing my stubborn legs to start abseiling down and I am waiting. Well, waiting and planning and praying and worrying, trying to keep busy and be organised and prepared and relaxed while I have all the time in the world to do things. It is a pretty fun game really!
