Restless

I'm feeling excrutiatingly restless now.  Got an email about the road closures during the SWC and I'm NOT looking forward to it.  An entire month of chaos in the city... yay.  I won't go into detail but I'm dreading the entire thing.
Apart from that, I'm restless because I'm so nearly done with Golden Ice.  The framing shop is moving (around the corner now!), so I'll have to wait til they've moved before I take Golden Ice there.  This evening we're going to the mall to buy the thread I still need.  I already put the new xstitch fabric into the Qsnap frame, want to buy white cotton thread to grid it so that I can start!  Can't wait, it's going to be quite fun.  I still can't believe how beautiful Golden Ice looks... out of the frame, stunning.  Hopefully the Wedding Blessing won't take TWO YEARS...
We're waiting for our passports to come back from having the visas stuck into them, then we can buy airtickets.  They should be ready next week sometime.  Once it's done, that's the last thing visa-related we'll have to do, apart from go on holiday to have the visas activated.
I've been thinking how at the moment we're waiting for the passports before we can book, after that we'll have to wait for the holiday, then after that it's waiting for the Xmas holidays, and then waiting til I resign, and after that, waiting until we move.  It's a bit crazy... but what else can it be called other than waiting?  It'll be nice when we've moved, and we can settle in.  No more *waiting* waiting, just being.  For now the holiday seems too far away.
I really am looking forward to the day I'm finally finished here.  If, that is, the company doesn't have retrenchments.  Chatting to the accountant, apparently if we don't get the big job that's pending/still in discussion-stage/etc, we're going to be in a bit of trouble.  The current jobs we have aren't very big, and if that one doesn't happen, they might have to retrench people.  No one has said anything yet, but that's the accountant's impression.  Soo............. we'll have to wait and see.
I'm feeling a bit blah though, thinking about leaving next year, leaving Dude behind.  He'll be only 4, in Feb next year.  Still a youngster, really.  The fish will be 4 years old later this year... leaving them all behind... :(  Can't stay here til they've moved on to the fishtank in the sky... and too sad thinking about Dude.  They still aren't letting in birds from any country apart from New Zealand.  I feel worse because of being at work all day, every day, leaving him alone at home, only to leave him behind when we move... when I could be spending time with him keeping him company, doing stuff at home.  But who ever stayed home, not working, to keep a pet company?  But I wish I could.
I suspect my blog repeats itself all the time... I guess I type things over and over and over.  I reckon it's a symptom of my boredom at work - I sit thinking the same things over and over, dwelling on them because there's nothing to do.  Another 209 days of this... wooot!
