It seems to have been destined like this.
My husband is gone for four days since yesterday, and I'm home alone. The heat outside is nothing less like that inside a convection oven. It has immobilised me to stick within the confines of our humble flat, which is, thank heavens, somehow cooled by the brick walls. So, here running out of tangible accomplishments both for the house's sake and mine, I remember there are actually more to exhume buried by my ever-growing procastination.
Other than editing drafts made for this blog and another, I'm digging into reviewers to find refreshments for my rustic memory. Although I don't think I'll be using much of what I know yet, they'll prove useful once I get the drift in the pharmacy.
Okay, they've caught my attention now. Be back soon!

On a Silver Platter
Oh yeah, it came practically on a silver platter. Guess what? I was on my way out to hang some hand-washed clothes when I noticed an envelop slipped under our front door. It was a letter from Bev, the pharmacist for whom before I had a short stint as a shop assistant. She gave me my first job here, almost two weeks upon my arrival. It was such a big learning curve for me as an aspiring pharmacist in Australia.
And now, she's given me the BIGGEST news ever! I had been on the lookout for a new job since we've arrived from holidays, and had been quite unlucky. And here I am, being found by the job! Hehe. What luck, eh? No. What a blessing!
She's hiring me to fill in the position Donna, her long-time dispensary assistant, is resigning from. Bev will now have to check with relevant authorities how I can get into that dispensary assistant course so that I can legally assist her with dispensing. Being a pharmacist with an overseas license doesn't necessarily mean I can work even as a dispensary assistant. But we're hopeful they'll recognise my academic credentials.
To be working full-time in a pharmacy will surely give me a good kickstart and that experience and exposure I'll be needing as I pursue my career as a pharmacist here. Tyrone was close to hyperventilating with me. I guess, it's a sign of many things.

Breaking the ice
It has been quite a deafening silence from us, said a friend. And ok, we're already feeling guilty. :)
The hiatus is part forgivable, part procastination. For the past few weeks, though, I guess it would be the latter. But I'm working on it now.
To keep your reading a bit busy, we have posted part of our Sri Lankan diary here. Enjoy!
