First and foremost, just when I was going to write an entry bitching about Darwin, I logged into immigration website and saw that my visa app has been approved!! I am so happy that it didnt end up dragging on and on and my immigration worries are over! I never even heard a peep after submitting it, wasnt expecting much logging in, and then almost couldnt comprehend what I was reading when I saw visa status. I guess after the 300 page app, they were satisfied I had covered everything, lol. So woo hoo! I can get a permanent job, come and go in and out of the country as I please, and get health insurance :-)
My trip was good and despite being 6 weeks long, felt so short! I dont think I will do another trip home over holidays again. It was just wayyyy too busy and def didnt get to spend enough time with friends and family. I did manage to gain 12 pounds though, LOL. That is 2 lbs a week to do the math. Lil Chunkaaa in da house! Mowing down and replacing running with sitting by the fire drinking wine took its toll. Anyway, I've been back a week and lost about 3 just eating like a normal person and not devouring every meal like it's my last. Will keep updated on diet progress. Today I am going to attempt a run. Jason ran for the first time today in the Darwin heat and puked, lol. I outta do really well...
So back in Darwin things suck as per uge. It took 2 days of constant flying to get here from CA, over 40 hours... so that was awesome and I felt great when we arrived, NOT! Get home and a bottle of hot sauce has shattered in my bag, all over clothes. Oh the washing machine wont turn on! Then my computer wont turn on, bring that in, it's fucked so no laptop. Now air conditioner unit in living room has shit the bed, so sitting here sweating in Darwin wetseason. FML and welcome back!
