我的快樂 會回來的

Something to look forward to

I still haven't received my full driver's license yet, it is a bit frustrating. I have decided not to go to Auckland to watch Sex and the City 2. It's too far, and I don't think it's worth it to drive up. I also don't have a place to stay up there.
However, there are some interesting things coming up at the end of the month. Erin is moving away this weekend so she's having a drinkie at her place. Emma is turning 3 so we are celebrating her birthday at TA. I've wrapped up her present today, a book and an eraser. I've made her an animal farm so she can play with them and act out little plays if she wants to. I made it myself so I don't have to spend too much money.
There's Roy's birthday party to go to as well, and it's going to be dad's birthday on that same day as well. I've got him a jersey so I can wrap it up or just give it to him. Hope he likes it.
I've also been looking at flights to Port Moresby. It looks like it's going to cost less on Virgin Blues, but we are still looking for more flights.
It is very cold today. Winter is truly here.
There's not much development on my business, but I am sure something good will come up. Hopefully, I can get some merchandise soon.

New business

This is the only place where I can say everything, I guess it's nice to have a private blog, it's like having an electronic diary.
I've called the guy from Bayleys and talked to him about the places where I want to rent. I will see him on Monday morning, and find out more about each place. I think he's Brent's dad, but I am not so sure. I guess it will become very obvious when I see him. I wonder how Brent is doing in Auckland, maybe I will ask him if he is Brent's dad.
It is difficult to find clothes to sell, though. I've called several shops in New Zealand, and no one is talking to me about the important stuff. They are all on holiday in the weekend! I guess I will have to talk to them on Monday. I prefer not to leave a message on the answering machine. What's that going to accomplish? Nothing.
I went and saw the shop yesterday. They all look quite nice, but I think certain ones have potential, other ones require a lot of money to renovate and that's money I don't have.
I found an idea on the internet to ask friends to paint the shop as a paint party. I don't know we even need to paint the wall a different colour, but if it is needed, it can certainly become a working bee party.
Everything is going well. I am motivated to work after getting my driver's license done. I've also received the new FlyBuys cards from mail. There's still the new OneCard to come for him as well. It will be better for him to have his own one so I won't lose my one! I feel exasperated when he loses my stuff. It's not that I can't forgive him, just feel helpless to change the situation.
It is getting really cold now. I hope my vegetables will still grow and we can have some free broccoli and cauliflowers. It will be so nice to have our own harvest!
Maybe I will have to meet some people in Auckland to talk about merchandising and buying clothes from them. It will be fun!
