Leaving work on Friday was slightly surreal. I'm currently in a transition period - I know that the relative calm (and well, boredom) of being at home alone will wear off as soon as the bump turns into a baby, but there's nothing I can do to make it happen any faster - in fact, I don't want to make it happen any faster!
But I do feel strange leaving work. Like a part of my identity has been removed. Which is ridiculous because I've never identified myself as a 'marketer' or even as 'someone who works at the TAFE'. My satisfaction was not found in my work. I would definately say I am someone who works to live - although I do yearn for a position that I can use as part of my identity. To be proud of.
I was blessed to have two positions in the Pilbara in marketing and communications. Roles such as these are few and far between in regional areas so I count myself blessed to be able to have had four and a half years after finishing my study working in the sector.
Now, my life consists of getting ready for baby - but it does give me a chance to do things I have previously neglected - such as this blog!
No, the number of photos is not huge, but there are a couple I will endeavor to post up before baby arrives (and things likely get hectic again).
So I will start with the one below. We had a babymoon up in Broome in April and spent a glorious week just chilling. We didn't really have a lot of energy for much else, we managed to score some great off-peak rates at a lovely place and just...relaxed. We did however walk along the famed cable beach at sunset and devour a mandatory serving of fish and chips. I wanted a silhouette of my bump, which at this stage was about 26 weeks along. Hubby didn't do so bad taking this photo for me.
