A slower pace

Well, after that whirlwind of an announcement that I was moving to Armidale in two weeks, I can now tell you that I am firmly settled. In Nowra. No move to Armidale on the horizon.

Instead of packing boxes, I had a relapse and spent four weeks in hospital following a suicide attempt. The hospital I was sent to was great. It was a small ward - only 12 beds, and had great therapy, understanding psychologists and nursing staff and relatively "sane" patients. There were no catatonics or drug induced schizophrenics so that was nice....

Since being in hospital I have reassessed my future and have decided to put my energies into getting my Bachelor of Early Childhood at Wollongong so that I am in a strong position, financially and mentally, for my kids when they hit the perils of teenage-hood... where there is a strong chance that they may want to come and live with me...

On the brighter side, I have managed to do most of my Christmas shopping this week and am headed up to Tamworth this weekend for Caleb's birthday on Monday. So it should be fun!

Hope this finds you all well
