just a quick update on happenings. i will be starting work soon. i haven't really decided how i feel about this... i haven't worked in 8 months and i was just getting used to waking up at 9 am everyday, but if i am going to pursue a career in nursing and since we are told not to have little rug rats anytime soon, mine as well work. so i will start, hopefully, in june. and for the record, it was not my fault this process has been so long... singapore nursing board, texas woman's university, a little bit lost in translation, fmc human resources (big surprise), and then H1N1 (stupid little piggy) are the culprits! i am just happy to be able to work in a foreign country for a company that is run out of another foreign country (i am working for the aussies). so check back in june and i will be a full fledge registered nurse with the international medical clinic and hopefully H1N1 will be history!
the health aspect has been great! i have gotten "good" reviews on my uterus. they are not excellent but i will take good. as i said before, doctor low has suggested that we wait a couple of years for babies so that my incision and uterus can heal properly. from the ultrasound it looks like any baby dunlap is going to have to be small due to a possible large amount of scar tissue. time heals everything and miracles happen everyday (thinking of you ingrid) so we won't get too worked up over anything just yet. when looking at the ultrasound, the hole or dark spot that the u.s.a doctor thought was another fibroid has darkened and looks like the area is healing nicely.
now to the man of the house... dirk has been working really hard. dirk hasn't been traveling much but might have an upcoming trip to china. recently we joined a gym, fitness first, and have been working out every night after work. the gym was mainly for me and the classes i like to do but dirk does get a much better work out in now since i make him stay for an hour and half. the gym has free movie rentals, sodas, coffee, tea, and is on the 23rd floor of a highrise. we are really spoiled with the great panoramic views and all the neat free stuff!
i wrote this blog a week ago and wow have things have changed. people moving around everywhere on this island. it looks like the singaporean expat world is in an uproar and people are going home left and right. as far as we know, we are staying here in singapore but who knows... as for my work, i believe they are delaying my start due to the same reason everyone is moving. it is an expat only clinic so there you have it... when the expats go home buisness slows down. we will see what happens.
so life goes on as normal in singapore. we ordered some custom made teak tables for our condo and can't wait to finally get a dining room table... well actually a pub table. i need to do a better job of updating this... we will see.
