I've been out of work for the past month. As an IT contractor I win and then work on contracts that generally run for a fixed period, and then when it's about to finish, I bid for the next contract, and so on. However, this time a contract finished and I didn't have the next one lined up already. So for the past 4 weeks I've been madly bidding for new contracts, not kicking back and enjoying myself.
So now that I've won another contract I actually have a few days to enjoy myself before starting work.
Matt is also away on "coasties". This is a Canberra phenomenon where the Year 12 kids go down to the coast to celebrate finishing school, by partying non-stop, I gather.
Matt being away means that the house has remained tidy for a whole week. I bet the utilities bills are much smaller this month because there's no teenager having 3 showers a day and staying up all night on his Playstation and Xbox.
Today we spent a day tidying up the yard. Even Missy wanted to get in the pool.
But next week Matt gets home and I start work. So things will be getting back to normal.
