Work Work Work I LOVE it!!

A very quiet start to the year for me, not much to tell. Pretty much all I've been doing is working, and I couldn't be happier about it. I've been stepping up at both jobs and I've been told that my efforts are really appreciated by both bosses. It's a great feeling to know that you are valued and that people appreciate what you do and the effort that you put in. And on top of all that - they PAYING me. HAHA How good is that?! Hanging out with nice people, feeling good about what I do, and getting paid for it. I'm a pretty lucky girl. Today is my first day off since Christmas Day, and I intend to do very little with it! HaHa
Things on the home-front aren't so good tho. So thank goodness the work side of things is going well or I'd be a bit of a sad-sack I'm afraid.
Lot's of zucchini's. If you can put zucchini in it, then I've made it over the last couple weeks. Zucchini Bake/Moussaka/Frittata, I put it into a tuna mornay last night, I've made Zucchini Relish, and I have plans to make a few mince disshes for the freezer next week, all with zucchini grated into them. Have found an interesting recipe for apple cobbler that actually doesn't have any apples in it, it's made with zucchini. Am thinking about that one. LOL
Also made apricot jam. First time I've ever done anything like this jamming and preserving. I'm just making most of it up as I go along, but so far everything is working out okay.
The garlic and redwine pasta sauce I made on New Years Eve tastes absolutely divine. Have got quite a few tomatoes coming on again, so will probably do another batch.
Diet is going well, almost 3kg lost so far. I've still got a long way to go, but at least I'm off to a good start. It's almost a year since I quit smoking, so once I lose the weight and get back into all my favourite clothes, I'm going to be feeling pretty damn fantastic! That's what keeps me going. I haven't eaten a single chip at work, it's been a bit touch 'n' go sometimes, but I haven't weakened yet. YAY ME!!
So far so good on the financial side of things too. Am achieving my goals, but that will all change when I move into my own place. So I'm going to have to move my goalposts a little bit. Sad, but I'll get over it. I've already lined up a couple of private houses to clean, I'll be starting them when school goes back, so that's good. Every little bit helps.
Any way, I have absolutely NO plans for today. Just a bit of pottering around the house. Want to go and see my mate Steve in Lucky Bay and see how he's getting on but haven't been able to get in touch with him. He's probably at sea. Will keep trying tho and if I can catch him, that's what I'll be doing today.
Have a good one everybody
Cheers
Faye

Glad you are enjoying your job but very sorry you aren't happy at home. Hope you are taking care of yourself. Are you moving to a different area or are you moving away from Scott?

Either way chin up

Take care!
