Just wish the world will cooperate and give Barack success during his stay.<br /><br />I am thinking of moving back to Austraila as this life in Tucson becomes .... just work, no play, no social outlets. I feel lost here.<br /><br />The last few months have been tough. I am looking forward to meeting Hero soon. Addie and Emma too of course. :)<br /><br />Adios friend,&nbsp; Aly urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acrossocean:918 2008-01-08T11:55:12Z 2008-01-08T11:55:12Z <p>This is so frustrating. I have been back for nearly a week and I still can not seem to get a full 8 hours sleep. This is causing great havoc in my work schedule. So I continue to just get a few hours when I can and deal with the inconvenience of not being totally there at work. Oh well.<br /><br />So I face a major load at work with no end in sight. The good news is that my higher ups seem to be keyed into some kind of idea that I am really good and can help others get organized. The bad news is that I feel like a sucker as they continue to give me more and more work. When will this madness end?<br /><br />Well, I guess I will continue to go this road and enjoy the time spent with clients that are somehow changed by my entering their lives. I am just wondering when I will have time to work on my own.<br /><br />Adios amigo.</p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:acrossocean:579 2008-01-06T06:40:55Z 2008-01-06T06:40:55Z I just returned back from a trip to Australia.&nbsp;<br /><br />I feel like I am between countries and belong to none.&nbsp;<br /><br />My life feels a bit unsettled but I have faith that all well be well.<br /><br />Still jet lagged and need to get back on track. I wish my vacation could have been longer.
