Back to Looking up!!!

So, it seems I just needed to get all of that negative energy out! Since my last blog, everything has had a sudden turn around, yay!!!

Thankfully the floods are not looking as grim as they were, each day the expected peak has been dropping, it is now expected to be 7.3m, and not to reach the Rocky sector until late tommorow night, or even Saturday morning! The day doesn't mean so much to the victims, but the level on the other hand is a big deal. At this level, many people will still be affected, only blocks away from where I live mostly, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been, most people in this area are prepared for this level and have therfore raised their homes, at this level these homes shouldn't have water above their floorboards, I bet they are breathing a sigh of relief. So, apart from water in their yards, and Ergon switching off their power for safety reasons, they won't be affected anywhere near as bad as they could have. I am also breathing a sigh of relief, I don't think I could have watched it all again, it was heartbreaking enough the first time around, but to happen straight after most people have begun recovering (and many have finished), it is just not fair, you would have to feel like someone really had it in for you!!! Good news!!!

I have been offered another job again ... But, for once I am happy to decline, because WE ARE MOVING TO BRISBANE!!! I am so unbelievably happy about this move AWAY from Rockhampton! Dan has been offered a Bayside Tavern. At this stage I am not totally sure what the name of the tavern is, but we have the figures and know it is a bigger and better pub than Trinity, and the paypacket is much nicer too ... So, as you can imagine, Dan is feeling pretty proud of himself, and I am feeling pretty proud of him too!!!

For the second time this year Taylah has come home with a great award!!! She got Student of the Week at the beginning of the term, today she came home with a Gold Award. A letter also accompanied this award explaining how the colours work, Gold, obviosuly the top award, then Silver, Bronze and a Blue award ... Makes it so much better knowing just how great she is compared to others, not that I am bragging, or anything ;)
