Living the Dream

So, yep. Here we are... In New York City!!!! (this photo was actually taken, what seems like MONTHS ago, on the day Daniel arrived)... We are happy and we do love it here. It's starting to feel like this is our life, people. Like this is our home, where we belong.... for now at least.
We are missing our families in Australia more than ANYTHING right now. It comes and goes in waves and the last few days/week or so has been really tough. Daniel's a little depressed about this job he now has and because the money hasn't started rolling in yet, it's hard to see the bright side...

I'm meeting this woman on Friday whose personal assistant I'm looking at becoming. My friend Fel is her personal assistant and Fel has to go back to Australia for a few months to sort out work visa stuff. She is putting me up for the job while she's gone, and maybe perminantly.... Or, at least until some High-Powered Producer needs me to become HIS or her personal assistant!!!!! Anyway, it sounds like it would be a pretty sweet job and I'd get N.Y. personal assistant experience.... Anyway, it's not waitressing....
Daniel is trying not to be miserable at B+H, but in honesty, I think he loves having somewhere to go and something to do each day. And it doesn't hurt that the something comes with a paycheque...(hopefully...soon) He'll be fine. We're in a bit of a bind, financially, though. We're waiting on payments and paychecks to come through and I just realized that we won't have the money to pay a couple of things that were due on the 1st until the 18th. I'm a little worried. On the 18th, we will have Hundreds of dollars more than we need but it means asking people we owe, like the Bank and Optus and the Gym to wait ANOTHER two weeks. It feels so lame, Dad. To know that we have the money to pay all our bills but to not HAVE THE MONEY!!!!!!!! It's really putting Daniel on edge and making him fight-ready 24/7. I guess it's not doing great things to me and my stress-levels, either... Not at all fun. God, I hate this. I know it's only for a short time, but, FAR OUT!!!! It just seems un-neccessarily hard. Like Fate said, "Now, I know things are hard right now and I know you guys are strong and can fight through it all, but let's just see what'll happen if I do THIS!!!!!!!!!" It really isn't cool.
But, as always, we'll struggle through. We are going to carve out a little place for ourselves in this city... So HELP ME GOD!!!! WE WILL DO IT!!!!!!!
Anyway, miss you all madly. Oh, so much.
Can't wait to hear from/see you, all of you!!!!!
All our love, as always.
Taliesen.
