Everyone's Leaving

I got some devastating news two weeks ago. Our practice manager Keira (above left, sitting next to her mum Denise) is leaving us and moving to Wagga Wagga. Yesterday was her last day. A new lady started on Wednesday to take over her place, and she's lovely, but I'm going to miss Keira so much. She is so great. She's only a year older than me, so she's really easy to get along with and very approachable. She's always so great to have around. Things definitely won't be the same without her.
To make matters worse, Hannah, one of the other girls at work is leaving at the end of the week. She's got a job at an eye specialist in Sydney, which she applied to so that she could live closer to her mum. Hannah is one of my best friends at work. She is my music bud. I am going to miss her so much.
I know they are both ready for new adventures in their lives, and I wish them both all the best, but right now I'm feeling quite devastated. I don't cope with people leaving very well, but I know I will adjust after a while.

We all went out to dinner on Tuesday night as a farewell for Keira & Hannah. It was a great evening. It's always lovely hanging out with workmates in a social setting, it's more relaxed and casual. We bought Hannah a cook book, becuase she loves cooking. She's always bringing her creations to work. I don't know how we will survive without that!

We got Keira a digital camera. It is something she's wanted for a while.

To top all that off, Amy, one of my really close friends is moving to Townville at the end of May. Talk about devastation. I'm trying not to think about Amy's departure at the moment, because I really wouldn't be able to cope with it all at the moment.
