For most people Friday instills a sense wonder, excitement, longing, they feel like a kid in a candy store who can't make up their mind; for weekend is a glorious time. For us its more like, weekend? It's Friday? Already? What happened that we missed the week? We should do something. Oh ya, we don't have any money.
It's not so bad, but we do find that we have to really watch our coins, or they scurry away like a dust bunny in a slight breeze. Only you don't find coins or bills in big pile under your bed every two weeks. It feels like we've been working, because we spend all day working on the computer or reading the newspaper looking for and applying to job ads. All with out that little reward every week or two, money.
It's an interesting feeling, living on as little as possible, looking, hoping for someone to say "Yes, we'd love to have you work for us." And yet with all that hangs on the line, you just can't help but to have a hope for that perfect job.
I did have some news today from the recruitment agency. They were asking if I'd like to work for an engineering company. I'd be doing design and document production. Much like what I did for the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. It wasn't an offer, more of a confirmation that I would work there, or could. So I wait, hoping to hear from someone. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after.
Life is good here. We are happy. Even if we can't go to bar every night. (Who are we kidding, we haven't been to a bar once since we got here).

Who needs a bar when you have pre-mixed drinks at the local corner store??? You can always come back and have nothing pre-mixed to buy here except antifreeze... they probably don't even know what that is down under, eh? Don't worry about finding work, it'll come (that is if Prince William isn't TOO picky...)

Hey you 2! Jusy wanted to say hi and that I have been keeping up with your blog weekly! We're in the count down for Darren and Lee-Anne's wedding,,, sorry you guys won't be here. Annan is getting soooo big. She's off the charts for height and a little under for weight according to our doctor last Monday! Supermodel in the making,,, although I would never let her do such a vain, body conscious job! Work is going well,,, Will if you were frustrated with the way things were going at the Festival b4,,, then you have no idea of all the changes now happening. Really no concern for me but I am sure it would have affected you upstairs! Rich is still the best stay at home dad there is and he is loving it. He's actually not a little anxious about going back to work. Hope all goes well for you guys and that work finds you soon,,, if not come to live in Ontario. So I guess I'll take back that work wish and hope you find nothing so that you will come and live here! Love you guys and have fun!
Lela, Annan and Rich xoxoxoxox
