I can't believe I've been home for 3 months already! I am officially an unemployed bum but I have never been so busy! I don't know how I'm going to fit a job back into my schedule. :) So, this is the plan for now. Take July and August off. But start looking for a new job in August, with the hopes of landing something for September/October. I've had a paycheque coming in ever since I was like 14, so not getting paid on a regular basis is definitely taking some getting used to.

Tomorrow I head up to Barrie for my one niece's graduation from grade 8. People go so whole-hog on a grade 8 graduation these days, what the heck will they have to do to top it when it comes to graduating from high school or college? I mean, I understand it's a special achievement and should be celebrated, but spending hundreds of dollars on an event that everyone achieves? I guess that's just the pragmatic and frugal German side of me coming out.

So far, it's great being back. I love just hanging out in my yard, working on the garden, or swinging in the hammock at the cottage. Very relaxing. But also missing my buddies from Indonesia.

That's it for now from the KM household.
