Back from Wales and Ireland
Well, I'm finally back from Wales and Ireland, and I've survived my 4-day work week afterwards. It wasn't as rough going back to work as I thought, though it's been a rough week overall. The long and short of it is, I went to visit my boyfriend in Wales, and we broke up at the end of the trip. Oh well, I guess it could be worse.
Anyway the trip itself was nice, even though we didn't get all that much sunny weather. It was mostly grey and sometimes rainy. Fortunately we didn't get rained on too badly when we tried to do the touristy stuff. It's just that there's no way the photos of the brooding landscape can be mistaken for the Caribbean or anything. (Anyway, at least Hurricane Dean didn't pummel Ireland...)
So now that I'm on the rebound from the cold I caught while I was over there, the breakup, and the jet lag, I've set myself another hair-brained goal. I've decided that if my work contract becomes a permanent job, I'm going to buy myself a house closer to work. I'm tired of renting, and I think I can build up some sort of a reasonable down payment, so I want to get into real estate and cut down my commute at the same time. It's actually kind of fun looking through real estate listings, even though I can't currently afford what's in there. Things will change though! Hello to Operation Mi Casa 2008!!
In other news, I'm now 117th in line for that book (Animal, Vegetable, Miracle) that I mentioned last time. That should put the book in my hands either around Christmas or early 2008. Yay!
