Hello!
I've finally worked out where the blog bit is here.... Its sooo confusing! Why cant these sites be easy!!??!!
Anyway:It's been FOREVER since i wrote on here, and I can honestly say its been because Ive been concentrating on me and trying to be happier. Perhaps thats a little selfish, but Im no good to anyone if I'm not happy/functioning normally. So... I started my new job on September 14th. It took a good 2 weeks for me to settle in because it was so different to what I was used to plus we managed to get the flu-like-bug from Richards younger sister after I'd been there just 1 week. But, happily, once setlled its been good! There is nothing I have to do except test the eyes. If i want to pick up the phone no one minds, but I dont have to run for it as soon as it starts ringing!! It's been a quiet month for us too - recession? who knows? so its not been stressful running around either which is nice. I also have some nice collegues, who on a professional level are very supportive. Just a couple of days after 9 days after id started we heard the news that Littlesis's tumour had potentialy regrown, so I decided to tell my new boss about the whiole situation. I told him that most of the time I wanted to come to work and forget all about it, but that in cases such as the regrowth I'd need to be able to tell him and rearrange the odd day off etc as and when things occur. He was very supportive and has only asked again once since then how things are. Which is what I wanted, I want to feel its not happening. I want to forget. I want to be able to submerge myself in my job at work and not think 'are they looking at me funny because of my sister?'.... Another good thing since September 14th Rich and I have had more fun. We had his younger brother and sister to stay the 1st weekend, had a relax with the Formula 1 the next, and Ive been doing lots of new recipe's on sundays. Ive been for lunch with mum (mum magie) and littlesis. Ive been to the cinema with a friend to see fame, We've been for curry with 6 friends, been to see Rich's parents and played pool with friends all sunday afternoon, I've been out for a friends birthday drinks, we had friends over for Formula 1 and I cooked (epic meal - curry with all the trimmings, bread and butter pudding), and thursday I spent all day shopping with a friend.... I see ive written 'friend' a lot in there!! All in a month. Previously we would have done none of those things! Its been great. Ive felt more fulfilled with life. I think its really easy to forget that we should live, be alive and enjoy being alive when we can... afterall, we all know here that at any second your freedom/free-spirit can be dragged away at any second.
Anyway, I think Ive rambled for a good while here, but its been a good month, and sometimes its nice to reflect on a good month.
