- I can't work full time. Not until something becomes available that elongates my time spent in deep sleep.
- Working part time means I will perpetually feel like I am slightly out of the loop.
- A long commute, to an otherwise perfect job, is not a possibility. It makes me unsafe on the roads and stresses me out.
- Part time music jobs in Sydney are immensely hard to come by.
- I'm a pretty good teacher. Of all the things I can do, and I enjoy, I think teaching is what I do best.
- I've really enjoyed the welfare side of things in this job and I think, if it were ever possible, my ideal job would involve a certain amount of time spent with students at the ends of the spectrum - kids who struggle at school, and kids who need to be academically challenged.
- I looooooooove pavlova mix. Once it's baked it's pretty good too, but oh my God... Pavlova mix is the bomb.
- Living with someone who supports me, loves me and helps me with all my ailments has made an immense difference.
- When I retire, I'm going to get right into gardening. Even the little bits and pieces I've done with the plants on our patio, and the herbs, has been so much OCD fun. Can't wait to have an enormous garden I can go around perfecting.
- I love playing in orchestras. I am just made for classical music performance.
- My cat will never fail to amuse me.
- There is no such thing as too much Law and Order.
- Naps are the bomb.
- As much as I enjoy being alone, I have missed being with people this year. My job and my sleep have sort of taken over a lot, and it's meant that I haven't seen my friends as much as I would have liked to. It hasn't helped that 3 of my best friends have buggered off to other states, and I moved an hour away from the other one. Hopefully a less demanding schedule next year will mean I have more time to see the people I love.
