New starts.....

It's about time I got back into writing this again, can't believe its been nearly 2 years since I last did this. so why now? well, there a few big changes coming up in my life, so thought starting the blog again would be a good way to keep my thoughts straight during these changes.
So, what's happened since I last checked in? A lot of it I can't remember for 1 of 2 reasons; I don't want to remember, or I can't be bothered to remember. Still working hard as usual, still enjoying life with my man (yes, the same one as before :-)) in fact, we are looking for a house together, how grown up is that?! and of course, still craving my motorsport fix at Brands Hatch. The motorsport is underway again in a few weeks, so looking forward to that.
Sean and I have taken up Geocaching, been doing this for nearly a year now. in a nutshell, it involves using a multi-million pound satellite system to find Tupperware pots hidden around the countryside. Its not just Tupperware pots though, we have found a wide range of containers, from very small metal canisters, to very large ammo boxes, and anything in between. some look like snails, rocks, pine cones, sticks, grass, you name it, a pot can be made to look like it. It makes for a pleasant walk of a weekend, when the weather is nice.

But today, a countdown starts...today I handed in my notice to the PDSA. from the 7th April I will be a veterinary nurse at North downs specialists referrals. Of course, I'm excited about the new opportunities this will present - new equipment, procedures I have not seen before, in fact probably a lot of stuff I have not seen before. Its going to be amazing. Yes, its more travelling, and I probably won't be any better off than I am at the moment, but I will be happy, and to me that's more important than anything else. I want to be happy doing my job. I spent a long time training and studying to become the nurse I am, and I want to be in an environment where I can use my skills to the maximum and get back to enjoying my job.
However, that does not mean that I won't be sad to leave PDSA. It has been a very big part of my life, and I have worked with some amazing people, none of whom I will forget. Most of my current colleagues will continue to be my friends for a very long time.

So, I have a new job, soon I hope to have a new house (although it will be odd not having any cats around, they are staying with the rents) and a new resolution to keep on blogging!!
