Day in the life

I will take you through what a day looks like for me in Sydney (actually this is an accumulation of many days but just work with me here).

Wake up 6:20am - be ready by 6:30am.  Yes it takes 10 minutes to get ready before my nanny job starts down the hall - its a 5 step commute to work.  Rough commute I know, I hope my commute is better when I move to LA. (wishful thinking)

Eat Brekky (Thats what some people call it here).  I have been back on my oatmeal kick again and I am perfectly happy with it.

Have some coffee depending on what the day holds for me.  I only really have coffee once or twice a week but the coffee here is AMAZING.  And pretty. And I like pretty things.

Then its nanny time - I don't post pictures of the little girl I nanny on here because she's not my child so just for privacy I won't post pictures of her.  But you really are missing out because she is adorable.  She loves singing barney songs (raindrops especially) so those songs have come back into my life - I am also okay with that. Good memories purple dinosaur, good memories. 

Then its time to take the train to the city or the beach or wherever the train takes me.  This is taking the train to Hillsong church for young adults.  The famous Sydney bridge.  Sorry for the picture quality.  I was trying to sneak a picture so I did not look like a total tourist.  Im sure I give it away that I am a tourist when it takes me 5 minutes to figure out the coins here to pay for something.  Why do they only have coins for $2 or $1 change.  I have a few thoughts for why they give away so many coins here.  1.  They expect everyone to be rich and that $1 or $2 coins is just like our penny - if you drop it then some kid will find it and buy absolutely nothing with it.  Which there is probably some truth there because everything costs so much here.  2.  They want people to get so annoyed with how much their coins weigh that they just give it away or spend it immediately.  The government must be stimulating the economy some how - why not have heavy coins that no one wants.  3.  Actually those are my only two explanations - there is only so much you can say about coins and I think I have said my fair share. 

Another view out of the train.  This is on the other side of the bridge (not the opera house)

And this is what I do on the train.  Love the extra time to do what needs to be done!

And then we beach.  Don't mind my non-existant chinese eyes.  It was sunny.  The beach was so fun during.  Not fun after. HELLO SUNBURN!  It's not my fault that I have been locked away in winter for the last 4 months.  That stomach had not seen the light of day for a very long time.  

And then we church.  Horrible picture and also this is of colour conference which is an all women conference.  But you get the idea.   Hillsong church has been amazing to see and learn about.  Very different than anything I have experienced before but they are doing a lot of wonderful things here and I am excited that I get to be a part of it.

Thats all for now folks.  Time to get ready for bed for my 6:20am wake up call.  Day in the life of me in this season and I must say its a pretty great day.
