Hi! My name is Tim, and a strikingly handsome thirty-something who’s turn-ons include walking on the beach and gazing adoringly at sunsets, and who’s turn-offs include rude people and litterbugs. My favourite colour is British racing green, and…
Well, it feels like a re-introduction should be made, anyways. It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything of significance. A lot has changed recently, though – work, home and everything in between – and since I’ve got a few minutes while this year’s Heroes storyline fails to impress slowly in the background, I figured now was a good time. Here goes.
First off, I’ve changed jobs. I still work for the same company, but I’ve left Microsoft in favour of a position at St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ontario. I was not enjoying myself at Microsoft any longer, and while the last year has been a good learning experience, my Director’s job was not going well. For a lot of boring reasons I won’t go into, it was time to move on. I asked for a transfer, and St. Joe’s came up. Health care is a booming field for housekeeping and facilities, and I was given an offer I couldn’t turn down. It included a moving package [I live two and a half hours from London] for my family and a paid apartment until Tania and the kids are able to move out there. I won’t be staying at St. Joe’s in the long run, but I’m doing my training there for two months before moving on to a new managerial position. It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to leap forward from, and I’ve been in the thick of it for three weeks already.
On the downside, I’m only coming home on weekends. That’s been hard, especially with Tania in her third trimester. I worry a lot about my wife and how she’s getting along. On top of leaving her here all week, we bought a new house in London and will take possession November 30th… two weeks before she gives birth! It’s a beautiful place on a cul de sac [which is what dead ends are called when you live on them] full of hardwood floors that sits with an open field beside it. It’s the nicest place I’ve ever lived, anyhow. So new job, new home, new baby… yeeeeesh. It’s all under control, but it’s a lot to handle at once.
HOME FRONT MISH-MASH BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET UP EARLY: Tania has at this moment conceded to the name ‘Cameron Joseph Robert Wood’ for our son! That’s awesome news for me…. Captain Jack has been shaved down! He is now a wee whisp of his former shaggy self. Pictures soon… Liam may have chicken pox shortly, which is awful right now as Tania is pregnant and can’t be around him. My Mom will have to take care of him [I hope] while Tania moves to her Dad’s for a week and I’m in London. Yeah, the timing sucks.
Anyhow, I’ve got another two hour drive tomorrow morning, so I’ll jet. Wish me luck.
