Last day in Kingston Beach

Last day at James and George's today. I need to take Jez for a long walk/run to the dog beach to tire her out. Last night she found a wounded bird outside and I think it's still there pretending to be stone. It's obviously too hurt to move so I don't know what to do about it. I've kept Jez away from the bird so for now it can rest.

After this I'll have a shower then rug up and take Jez out. The weather is horrible but it needs to be done. I'll wear a beanie and take an umbrella. She might have no one to play with! She's pooped twice on our walks and I didn't realise I had to pick them up. When I take Katie for a walk at home she poops in the bushes or on the side of the road. It doesn't matter there as it's in the middle of no where but here I think you're meant to clean up after your dog. Oops. I'm a bad dog sitter.

Then after the walk, depending on the time, I'll head to work and check the roster so I can see if I can swap shifts with someone so I can go to the Mini Golf and BBQ night with Relish. Then I'll head to town to go shopping with Sarah.

Oh, I called up the Work and Training agency and they only do yearly traineeships and placements but the lady will send me out a registration form to fill out and send back with my resume to be considered at somewhere more appropriate. Hopefully I can get some Monday to Friday work in either retail or on the computers and possibly even stop working at thebeach for a while so I can have some weekends off. That would be great. I'd love to have free weekends. That's one of my aims for the future.

I hate this week already. That's not a good sign. Sometimes I really do with I didn't work at thebeach anymore but for now I need it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive as I like to, which sounds horrible. Hopefully I can find other work soon. I can't wait for Sydney, a fresh start. I really can't.

Just took Jez for a walk. It rained a bit so I'll have to fix my hair before going out. I did the washing up and have gotten my things out of the bathroom. I forgot to put the garbage out last night. Oops. And I should get everything packed and ready in case I have to go to work. I hope I don't, as then I can have a leisurely afternoon shopping with Sarah, then go to Big W on the way back here to get them some toilet paper and maybe some chocolate then spend the evening here before going out to pick them up from the airport. I'll work if I get asked to though as I won't have much choice. I will head to work soon to figure out the roster for tomorrow then head to town. Lunch is on the way! It's been noodles everyday. Eggs for breakfast and different things for dinner. It has gone so quickly and yet so slowly. It seems like ages ago that I was planning to have Cool Thai with Emma and drinks at Onba but it was only 3 days ago. Seems like longer to me. I've quite liked staying here though. I like being closer to town and feeling like I'm doing more with my time. I'm not sure that's true but it feels like it which is important.

Right. Off to work then to town! Then at 3 I will know this evenings movements. I do really hate the on call system...
