Good news again

Got up, had breakfast, had a shower, got dressed. "This is starting to get a bit boring" sighed Katie who was the kind of person who got bored easily. "I'll go out after work and try to meet some more people. Maybe I'll have a house warming party at the weekend." That thought cheered her up a bit as she dragged herself to the car.

She mentioned the party idea to her colleagues during the day and they all said that it sounded like a good idea. Feeling a bit better again she worked a bit harder for the rest of the day. At the end of the day her boss asked to see her before she went home. "I'VE BEEN PROMOTED!" Katie shouted to everyone who was in the street. "I'm definitely having the party now. First I sell some chapters of my book and now I get promoted.!" She remembered she was going to go out after work but the sensible part of her kicked in and she went shopping for some more things to add to her 'house'. She decided on getting a sofa, more walls and a door. She was told it would be ready and waiting for her when she got home so she could go out and celebrate.
After asking a few people in town where she should go, Katie headed to the Juice Bar. There were only a few people there when she first arrived but it soon filled up. Yet again she chatted the night away! 

When she got home Katie was tired but happy, a complete change to how she felt that morning. She got out of the taxi and stopped dead in the street. She had enjoyed herself so much at the Juice Bar that she had forgotten about blowing her bonus in the shop before. "All I need now is one more wall, a roof, windows, wallpaper and a carpet and I'm sorted" she grinned. Before dragging herself to bed she made a snack but didn't get around to eating it...

How embarrassing!

Another day at the office...

"I didn't realise mum did so much before," Katie thought to herself when she got up in the morning. "The cooking, cleaning, washing... I was incredibly lucky. I must remember to pay the bills as well." After rushing around, trying to get everything done, she only just got to work on time. "Thank goodness I'm fairly fit and I enjoy my job so much" Katie puffed as she ran from the car into the building.

For some reason Katie found work rather stressful today. "I'm only a paper girl, how can my job get stressful?!" Katie grumbled. She wanted to go to the spa to help de-stress but she wouldn't be able to afford to do that for a while so she went to the library instead. Writing always calmed her down and she had a small idea for a sci-fi book so she made a start on that. Angel Lobos was sitting at a computer when Katie arrived at the library. After saying hello, they chatted on and off while Katie worked.

She was on a roll so Katie managed to write a good couple of chapters of 'Warp Factor Infinity'. Feeling pretty good about herself she found a couple of  publishers online and sent the chapters to them and carried on writing. Not that long afterwards she got an answer from one of the publishers. "THEY WANT TO PUBLISH MY BOOK!!" jumping up and yelling, totally forgetting she was in the middle of a library. 


Deciding she deserved a 'well done' for doing well with her book she went to Hogans Diner to eat that night. "What a big spender I am(!)" she thought. 

Katies second day

As soon as Katie woke up she jumped out of bed. She was starting her new job today and she was very very excited. "Today I'm a paper girl. Tomorrow, who knows" she thought as she jumped around the dining table. "Hopefully I'll earn enough so I can actually have 4 walls and a roof by the end of the week!"

She quickly got into her uniform and tried to eat breakfast but it felt as though she had half a dozen snakes and butterflies in her stomach. She finally managed to eat a bowl of cereal before her lift to work arrived.

She stepped out of the car and stared. The building was so much bigger than she expected and for a few minutes Katie was rooted to the spot. She very rarely felt nervous but this was one of those times. After taking a deep breath she marched in. Most of the day was spent finding her way around and meeting everyone. Katie is the kind of person who hates not knowing people and by the time she went on her lunch break she already knew everyone in the building.

After work Katie thought she'd treat herself with her first pay check. "You only get your first one once. All the others can go towards the house" she told herself as she decided on a shower and TV. When she got home she noticed one of her neighbours outside so she went over to introduce herself.

Once again they chatted and chatted for a long time. "Everyone in Riverview have been so nice" Kate said to herself as she walked back across the road. "I defiantly made the right choice moving here."

Katies first day in Riverview.

After saying goodbye to her parents, Katie Anderson suddenly felt very grown up. With a bounce in her step she headed to Riverview to find somewhere to live. Almost straight away she came across 345 Riverblossom Hills Drive. "Its perfect, I love it" she thought. She knew she wouldn't be able to have much in the way of furniture or even walls, but as soon as she got some money together she would be able to build her dream house.Katie brought as much as she could with the little money she had after buying the plot of land. "I'll soon make it a home," she said positively.

Wanting to hit the ground running, Katie went to the local library to do a job search. Her dream job was in journalism, preferably a news anchor on the TV. After only looking for a few minutes she couldn't believe her eyes. A job in journalism was staring her in the face. O.K, she would have to start as the bottom as a paper girl but she knew she'd have to do that. Happy that she found a job straight away Katie thought she had better brush up on her writing skills. 

After typing for so long her fingers began to stiffen up Katie remembered that Riverview had an art gallery. A walk through two would be just what she needed after being in a stuffy room for so long. "This place is amazing" Katie breathed as she walked into the gallery. She was so immersed in the wonderful pieces around her she actually bumped into Ruby Broke. After the two stopped apologising to each other they got chatting. They chatted and chatted and chatted for so long that they had to be told to leave the gallery so it could close! 

By the time Katie got back home she only had time for a quick salad before falling into bed. "What a fantastic start to my new life" she thought happily as she quickly fell asleep
