Endinig the neglect

I know, I know. I've neglected you completely. Naughty me. A quarter of the year has passed - that's fast. I'm entering into my 7th week of work, and I'm contemplating whether or not to look for another role. I'm still in my probation period, so technically, I have another 5 weeks to make a choice. I've gotten good feedback already, so I'm performing, but I just don't love it. But if I rewind back to when I started at CEVA, I didn't like being there for months either. So maybe it takes time.

Kad and Phuong are in town for Easter, and I'm about to head out for dinner with them. Kad flies out tonight, doing her midnight dash and hoping the flight isn't full. It's so good to see the girls.

Mum has flown in and out of the states. I think she's returned.. different. She's mainly kept to herself much of these past few weeks, and hasn't been her usual self. I'm not sure.. She's going to head back there next year again for another holiday; it's as if she has another family there. From all accounts, they love her there. But who wouldn't love my mum? She was close to her friend's son, a 11 year old boy, who gave her his cherished toy dog to remind her to visit him again. Her friend told her once she returned, that he cried after she left, and he misses her a lot. When I hear that, it reminds me again how lucky I am that she's my mum. She's awesome :)

On the other side, Dad's close to retiring. I want him to retire, but at the same time, dreading it because then it means he has more time on his hands. That just means he's going to bug me on, probably, a lott of things. First though, he's planning a holiday to Thailand. The folks are getting active in their years - a good sign.

OK, gotta fly and make some home made gnocchi for Sang & Cathy, before Lee picks me up for dinner. Love love!
