If you read this blog much you will know it sort of disappeared for a while. It didn’t totally go away, just moved from the front page. I wasn’t doing too well and didn’t want the blog here for some time until I had resolved some issues.
As a result, I’ve decided to move back to Sydney. Brisbane isn’t the place for me and I need to get back to my friends and relatives in NSW.
It does however mean leaving my daughter behind, but there’s nothing I can do about that. It made me an emotional wreck for a few days, but it’s a decision I had to make. I will miss her terribly and she is already upset that I am going away, but I aim to fly up to visit her as often as I can. Better to have a happy father living far away and visiting sometimes than a miserable, depressed one living nearby and visiting often.
I talked to my team leader at work and he tells me there’s a guy in our company in Sydney who wants to transfer to Brisbane. He just has to sell his house and we can swap jobs.
I picked up a lot of packing boxes given away on Freecycle on Sunday afternoon, so I will start packing away anything I don’t really need right now.
It’s been an emotional rollercoaster and I don’t think it’ll be over for a while, but it’s going to be much better for me in the end.

Good to see the blog’s back up…:-)
I don’t suppose the guy from Sydney wants to house swap?? Or you buy his house off him? Never know, he might sell you a mansion for $100k…:-)
