[April 16, 2009]
Today was the beginning of the end... I had to start saying good-bye to those I have worked with over the past 3 months. I spent my day working at the Sefton Park office doing the Foster Care Services information booklet. I was given the task yesterday and finished it today. At about 3:30ish Helen took me over to Blair Athol so that I could say good-bye to Natalie.
Natalie is the manager of the op shops. She's so much fun and just has these crazy stories to tell. I have really enjoyed getting to know her and spending my Mondays at the shop. One of my favorite days was when she just busted out in the vegemite song and then all the ladies in the shop started joining in! She also bought me some pop-tarts and cans of Dr. Pepper because I was going through Dr. Pepper withdrawal. She's great. She is leaving this Saturday to do a 900km bike ride from Geelong to Salisbury (pronounced SOLESbury). That would be almost 560 miles. She's doing it for a great cause... H.A.N.D.S. She's raising money for another country to build pre-schools and other necessary buildings. Visit http://www.hands.org.au/ to learn more and to see what they're doing. I think her team is up to 12 members now. Good 'un ya Nat! :) I sponsored Natalie on her bike ride and had one last chance to say good-bye. It was a good ending and I'm really glad that I have met her.
After saying goodbye it was back to Sefton Park where I worked a bit longer before I caught a ride home with Jeff. I was taking E, M's and my money home from work so I was not allowed to take public transportation. Haha. I enjoy the rides with Jeff though because I am never sure what the discussion of the day is going to be about. It was the weather today.
I got home and was going to run a video back to the movie store, when it started downpouring on me. My new bag (my other purse from Sassy's went belly up) got wet to the point where the colors were bleeding. So I turned around and went home. I got ready to go to Helene's house instead.
Jeremy came and picked us up and we were off to their house for tea. Tea was delicious as it always is at their home. We then journeyed out to the top of the Morialta Conservation Park. We
