I never got over it, I just got used to it.

One of the hardest things about getting over someone is that time when you realise that you have got used to being without them. When all that is left is just a dull, hollow acceptance inside that you will never see them again. Life goes on, of course, and things change, and you change too, yet part of you still aches to be with them again.

I've had a pretty shattering day at work (is that even an expression, oh who cares!). Two new admissions to take care of, school and parents to ring. One of my 'new admissions' managed to hack into blocked websites on my laptop, god knows how she did it - she's going to be an interesting "challenge" for the next few weeks.

I'm really hanging out to get some more boys in my class. At the moment, I have a pretty skewed gender balance as there is only one boy, and six girls! and girls can be so so tiring. Boys I find are more straightforward.

Pizza for dinner tonight, we're having Ali over and she's bringing home-made Pizza dough. Then it's off to the gym we go for our first personal training session with Matt. Exciting.

God, this post is like verbal diarrhoea! bleh!

Debbie and Nick's wedding, and my own geekiness.

Hello there all three (two?) blog readers.

I've been out at a wedding today - friends of ours, Debbie and Nick. We stayed for the ceremony part, and then came home. As usual, I ended up playing on my computer (no surprises there) and with the gimp.

Here is a picture of the happy couple :D

An update

So it's been about two months since I last posted an entry in this blog. Crazy how time flies!

Anyway, I'm just nearing the end of my school holidays. *sigh* the dream is almost over. It's been a good break away though. Since going on holiday, I've managed to seriously tackle the garden, not to mention visit the rellies in Christchurch. I had to go into work today, which was a bit of a shock to the system, but I only had to stay for a few hours (thank god!). I guess I'm just slowly easing myself back into it. I came down with a cold yesterday, too, so I'm feeling a little under the weather.

Another good thing is that I've finally sorted out my 'faith' dilemma, and I can now say that I am a proud atheist. So part of that for me will be living more in the here and now, and enjoying life for what it is - because all we have is our time here.

I think a big problem I had with other religions was the concept of punishment for wrong-doing - the idea of burning in hell for all eternity is one I find hard to stomach. Personally, I have never believed that such a place could exist - and I consider it a bit of a 'scare tactic'.

I'm happy to be living in the here and now, and as for the concept of eternal life, I don't think the universe owes it to me. All we have is this life, and that is enough for me.
