Babe… I don’t think I’m gonna attempt to be a marriage celebrant… this year…

U just watched Wurthering Heights and changed your mind?

LOL… that movie was an example of some super toxic marriages!!! 😅😅😅

But u’ve read the book before u saw the movie.

Yeah… it’s not just that… it’s like realistically… I don’t need to desperately leave my current job…

I actually like my current job.

It’s nice to be on annual leave but I’m not dreading going back after my break!

Uhuh…

What are you picturing…?

Marriage celebrant is like an “Ahah!” Idea 💡

For later in life… or a Plan B

Plan B?

Sigh.

If my current employer pulls the rug.

If they decide, “oh well we’re gonna close the store… you’re all redundant…”

THEN — I will take the severance pay and enrol in the marriage celebrant course.

But why wait for that? Why not equip yourself with that certificate already?

Okay true.

But I just don’t have the energy for that right now.

U don’t have to do it this year but I think it’s still a good idea to do it, whether or not anything happens with your current work.

Okay… well… I don’t have the bandwidth to enrol in the course in the first half of 2026. I’m thinking about that very realistically. With everything else that is happening…

I understand… probably not the second half of 2026 either right?

Mmmmmm… maybe I really do need a whole year of not studying anything

Yeah…

I’m just gonna play Sims with the wedding pack add on…

Lolololol… 😅

I think I can learn to be a celebrant even when I’m in my 50s. Maybe even 60s.

Yeah.

It’s a job that — the older you are — isn’t necessarily judged negatively. In fact it brings more depth and wisdom to the job at hand.

Uhuh…

Even 40s is “young” for a celebrant!

Mmmmm…

I’ve still got a lot going on with Mum… doggy… this house…

Yeah…

I think that’s all that I can handle in 2026…

Yeah?

I don’t know… or if you quit your job and WE get married…

Ehehehehehhehhee… you’re tempting me! I am very very tempted to quit… TODAY.

Lol…

I just don’t see myself changing that drastically yet.

Nobody said you had to. Even if you enrol in the course it’s going to take time to get through it…

Well — I don’t want the same stress I went through last year.

I get that…

If my current job offers me more hours, I’ll take it.

Mmmm…

Because I already know how to do this job. It would just be a matter of longer days that I already do.

Yeah…

I kinda want that stability… at least in 2026…

Oh…

The youtube tarot reader is saying I’ll change careers 🤣

Lol…

But I just don’t see that happening yet.

No. I know. Your Mum needs you these next few months.

Yeah…

I’m not even showing up until she sorts out all that stuff.

Sigh… I don’t know if there will ever be a reprieve my love… there’s a lot of health problems…

I have health problems too…

We all do?!

Anyway, I couldn’t really imagine you as a celebrant… I’m still waiting for you to be a Twitch Streamer.

Lol… can I do both?! Just kidding… 😅

Hahahahah… I wonder how that would work… 🤔

I’m just kidding!!!

Mmmm… I’m not? What if you have a Twitch channel dedicated to love poetry and then you also have your celebrant gigs on the weekends?

Phwoar…… I don’t know about that babe… I mean…?! It doesn’t sound impossible… but it’s also like… woah… I don’t think I would be working at my current job if I did that.

Yeah. Just quit. Marry me anyway. Then do these two things.

Lol… 🤭💕

Why do you keep waiting for full time from your current job? Why not just enrol now while you’re part-time?

Sigh… I’m not feeling it.

Okay then… (accepting…)

I don’t know if I want full time… but I’ll say yes to more hours…

Mmmm… (nodding)…

Anyway. I don’t want to “work” on my holiday. I’m not applying to any jobs… I’m not enrolling in any courses…

I still have obligations like housework and taking care of my mother and doggy and that’s more than enough during my “holiday” — !

Yeah.

… what happened to luxury fashion?

Lol… I don’t know… 😅

Maybe you will change your mind again tomorrow.

MAYBE!

Lol… 🥰💕 (hugs hugs) 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
