back to life

back to reality (if you don't have that song stuck in your head now, i applaud you). i just realized that it's been a bloody long time since my last post and decided that it was time to start updating again.

life has been a bit of a blur since our return to perth, following 3 great (busy!) weeks in canada, enjoying time with family and friends, snow and of course, poutine :). we arrived back to our house feeling relatively ok and incredibly thankful that i'd not scheduled myself to work for 3 days. after spending some time (and money) stocking up the house, reorganizing and cleaning, we had to face the (sad) reality of returning to our daily lives.

after only a few days back, perth got it's summer heatwave. and no, i'm not trying to rub it in (well, ok. maybe a bit). australian heat is hard to deal with at the best of times, but trying to adjust after the few enjoyable weeks of canadian winter, well, it was almost unbearable! thankfully the weather seems to have fallen into normal summer weather (which is still hot, but has a cool breeze).

sadly, our mundane daily lives are less then exciting to write about. john's back at uni and in clinic full-time as well. he's plodding along, treating client after client, slowly chipping away at the targets that he needs to reach by the end of the year, all while continuing in classes, volunteering and picking up a few hours of paid work here and there. me, well, i'm just working. working working working. blah!

i think i need a holiday!
