Hyperventilating

Okay, okay, okay... way too much going on. Here's a round-up.

• I have a one year old. Holy crap. In fact, he's already 13 months old. My little midget is almost walking and babbling his little words (which he says once or twice, then abandons as if he is done with them).

• The Pun is full steam ahead for Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and I'm so pleased with how our team is shaping up in 2011. Lots of new faces, some of my favourite former writers. Very happy.

• My last edition of Green magazine has been out for a little while, and I liked it a lot. I think it had a great mix of content and it's sparked a lot of responses which is a good sign.

• I have a new job! Last week I started as the Program Manager of Express Media. I'm beyond excited about this. I wasn't looking for work, but I saw the advertisement and within a week I was employed. It's three days per week, which means Avery is in childcare those days (thank god we had already started him one day a week towards the end of last year) but I still have four days a week home with him. My office is in the Wheeler Centre, which is inside the State Library building. So beautiful. I have great projects to work on, the organisation does exactly what I'm passionate about (youth arts and media projects) and my workmates seem brilliant. All WIN.

Wow, it reads like such a short list but I am filling every moment of every day just trying to keep up with Ave and work. My social life does not exist (save for the never-ending first birthday parties that have begun), but I'm happier than I've been in forever. It feels so good to be engaged with my work. Next week my editor for The Pun will be on board, another Green magazine is already underway and I'll have settled into my new job properly.
