I’m in the dining room at WPR, checking email and listening to the fridge in the kitchen groan on and on. It is so lovely up here right now – the air is cool, the lake’s quiet, work has been so relaxed. I’ll say it again – accepting the Feasby’s offer of employment has been the best decision of my life. Well, maybe second best. There’s one other decision I made that will always come first.
Greg and I had dinner with Dianne and Dan last night (steak, rice with a sweet Indonesian soya sauce, red peppers, and fried onions & mushrooms, haagen daz ice cream for dessert – absolutely scrumptious), and we discussed our plans for the next few months. Our conclusion was that, while I love it up here and would much rather continue on working for D&D for as long as they need me, in the end its simply more profitable for me to return to St. Kitts and work at a restaurant. If Greg and I are going to follow through with our plan to head off to New Zealand in the New Year, I need to save as much money as I can before then. Without the money, I won’t be able to go. So, Greg and I will be returning to St. Kitts this Saturday. I’ll search for a job. Greg will be spend as much time as he needs to get all the school paperwork completed, and then he’ll be heading back up here to work. For how long, he’s not really sure right now. We shall see. As much as it kills me to do so, we have to just let things develop as they will.Â
I dreamt last night that I was at the final game of some huge global sport tournament; it was Canada vs. New Zealand. The dream was very vivid, and very detailed – I remember the lyrics to the national anthem my sleeping brain scribed for NZ. (It was awful) As the dream progressed, it became this nightmare in which the world was at war and Greg and I were trying to travel to NZ to escape – clearly Ruth and Hansi’s suggestions struck a chord.
Anyhoo, I must be off – Greg will be wondering where I am. We’re watching Kingdom of Heaven tonight. I hope its good. I hope I manage to stay awake!
