I haven't blogged in a little while, not because I haven't had the time, unfortunately, but because nothing seems to be going right at the moment!!!
I lost my job, not for my performance, but company finances, being replaced by someone younger really hit home that I am getting older. It has never bothered me before now, but the realisation that there are alot more cheaper people to hire out there other than me has me hating the idea! I have no idea what I am going to do! I am bored, broke and now days classed as old and expensive!!!
Dan's tavern got held up, AGAIN!!! I just don't understand how these people go to sleep at night! Thankfully they got caught this time, and were refused bail!!! They were also found guilty on a couple of other armed robberies, the mistake they made this time was actually firing a shot!!! In a way I am glad though, these two in particulars have held up 4 pubs now, terrorising locals and staff, it's just not fair, I really hope they go away for a really long time!!!
Rocky is back in flood ... At this stage the expected peak is between 8 and 8.5m, which in hindsight is lower than the last flood, and the waters will go down a little bit faster. I think the hardest thing I am dealing with is the lower level isn't sparing people their houses, but sparing the highway and airport. Living only a block away from the affected area's I have watched first hand the heartbreak and despair in people's eyes while they watch their homes go under water and there is nothing they can do about it, but the mayor and council continue to assure us that it's not as bad as last year because we won't lose our airport or highway ... Well, I wish it could be the other way around, these people don't deserve to lose everything again, the highway still hasn't been repaired properly, let it go under!!!
While everything feels like it's crumbling in Rocky right now for us, we have lot's of exciting things to look forward too! Moving to the Gold Coast is high on that list, for many reasons, most in particular to be close to some friends and family again will be nice, and to be in a town with cheap airfare's back home to Cairns, that has got to be one of the most exciting things (in my opinion) ... Taylah is counting on the theme parks (me too) and Daniel is keen to get back into surfing!!! The girls and I would also like to get into it too, a nice family adventure I am assuming ;)
We are excited to have already planned 2 trips back home, coming home to meet the new bubba Hope, and a new member of the Sykes family too!!! These two occasions will certainly be the highlight of 2012 I think! In my (possible depression, but more likely just needing attention, lol) I have even started planning actually getting Taylah (hopefully both girls, if it is going to be possible) baptised!!! Better late than never I guess! I am literally praying she gets into a Catholic school when we get to Goldy, the public system is HORRIBLE, and really, I just want the best for my girls, and I do honestly believe the Catholic Education System is the best for them!!!
