Quick recap on some highlights in Jono’s world:
- Housesitting - Mika (the cat) is the most friendly, placid thing I have EVER met. And it was great having Sky to watch the All Whites game. Man, I totally yelled the house down! And with MySkyHDI I could rewind, pause & slowmo all the cool bits too :)
- Painting – just finished latest paining (photos up soon). Teacher wants me to quit my day job, and I wish I could, but not sure if it would quite pay the bills (yet) :P
- Curling at the ice rink – enjoyed the novelty, but ice is much more fun with skates on ;)
- 1st game of ice hockey (padded up and everything, even scored 2 goals – yeee haaar), just a practice game but still, this might be the pinnacle of my career.
- Not sick anymore (that’s good, sux being sick)
- 1st Lifeline shift – talk about nerves (!) the first time I was waiting for that phone to ring. I managed to get the counsellor ‘flow’ going after a few minutes and got through it. Since it was the first one, my supervisor was listening in and gave me a good recap afterwards. It can be hard to gauge how much difference as a counsellor you are making, you can’t really solve anything, but for some you can help them get to a point where they are ready to, and for most you can help them get through the day. And no, I will not be telling you what time my next shift is! J
- Curry party – I made a green beef curry (from scratch) which I called “Moo Thai” (geddit??). I have to say, bought paste is fine by me! The taste/ satisfaction benefit in making the paste from scratch does not make up for the effort saved in just buying it!!! So I guess the skill becomes finding a good paste ;)
