That getting things settled and in routine thing is coming together! New flat is going pretty well and the job front looks good. I have a waitressing job for now and I have some good prospects going for later in October - updates on that when some official signing stuff has been done.
I get to go back to pole tonight then out to dinner with my awesome man. And right now I am watching Mean Girls. Things are roling pretty smoothly personally right now. Shame on a national level things are abismal since half of the country thought it would be a good idea to vote our shitty government back in.
But that is it, just a short update for now.

Stressful Times
I now descend back to my blog with a sigh. I have kept thinking how I must write another post, round off the UK trip, and share the next step on my journey now I am back in New Zealand. I kept thinking "when I have had a couple of days to recover from jet lag, when I am not so tired, when I am not so busy." And that is now.
Writing helps me rid myself of frustrations and someone just caused me a great deal of frustration. I am no longer jet lagged and exhausted. I finally have some free time. So here I am. Writing away the stress.
I finished up my visit in England with a couple more catch ups with friends, including seeing the very cute How To Train Your Dragon 2 at my old regular cinema. I saw one of my very longest friends who I have known since before I would have any memory of it. And I got to take a pole class. It was all good and then I embarked on the long journey back to NZ.
The flight was pretty uneventful. I had to make a tight connection in Singapore but we got there in time and I continued on. When I got to Auckland I got to see a couple of my high school friends and stayed the night with one of them. Our long yarns meant little sleep so I was beyond exhausted for my bus ride the next morning.
I continued to be exhausted for quite some time. Having had so little sleep on my journey took it out of me and getting back to feeling like a living human took some time and then I was thrown straight into flat hunting and job hunting which came down on me into a big pile of stress. After the first absolute cram of trying to get a flat and job sorted in a few days in Wellington I had to step back and slow it down.
Now I have successfully organised the flat part and can focus simply on finding a job. I know it is unlikely that I will find a job I really love straight away and I will likely be spending more time in hospitality but at least I enjoy hospo work if not so much the unsocial hours. Once I have a job and I am more settled I can think about finding something more awesome a bit further down the line. Though this sounds like I am being reasonable and have my head together on the job hunt I don't really. It is stressful. I just want to get into work and get some routine.
One of my friends has just hit me with an awful start to any day by making a sexist comment towards me then refusing to acknowledge its sexism and how disrespectful he was being towards me so I now feel run right down again. I might have to bother getting dressed and take myself out for some fresh air and perhaps a treat along the lines of ice cream or frappaccino.
