Finished with my first week at Write!

Hi everyone,

One week down, and things are going well. There seems to be plenty for me to do, and I already feel right at home. The CEO, Lynda, joked that they were slowly reeling me in from the first day I visited. I'm still not certain whether it will turn into a permanent/full time job, but since I started one person has resigned and the new PA announced her pregnancy...so they might need some extra help in the months ahead. We'll see.

The only low point thus far was today, when Michelle had to be taken to hospital. I knew that she wasn't feeling well for two or three days, and it turns out that her heart is acting up. She called her doctor this morning, and he told her to report to the ER immediately. Needless to say, it was quite scary, and I haven't heard any news since.

We're having Ula and Norman over for dinner tonight, and Nik is making lamb curry. As far as the rest of the weekend goes, I'm not sure what we have planned. Rory is hoping that he isn't called in to work part of the weekend, as they have been very busy. The weather is supposed to turn, as well, so we might end up curled up on the couch watching the Olympics. I'll really miss them once they are finished, and I think that they are nearing the home stretch.

Well, I think that is it. I celebrated the end of my week by purchasing a few more items of work clothing. Since I've arrived in NZ I've dropped over a dress size, so its been important to me to find some clothes that fit properly. Unfortunately, even my nice winter coat is starting to look funny on me...and I can't afford a new one of those! Roll on spring!

Love,
Amy
