Fully intended to do a post before now but as per normal life happened and time went by faster than I expected or planned and now here we are at the shortest day of the year already. Yay for me because it means the walk to work in the mornings will (in theory) only get brighter. Of course being Hastings there will be those mega foggy mornings when you can't quite see to the other side of the road but for now those can be ignored lol. I am just going to be happy about the it being slightly lighter each morning when I walk to work. And I am enjoying that I am back to being able to walk to work (atlst most morning I do).
As some of you know my health has been doing it thing again, you know that thing, that thing where it reminds me I am not as well and healthy as I look. It is never fun when it does it, and this time it did a solid number on me and knocked me an awful lot (I ended up needing just over a week off work, well technically the doctor said I needed more but I ran out of sick leave so went back). I am slowing crawling my way back to my normal level of unwell, and am definitely closer than I have been for quite a while. Its a nice feeling to be honest, though its also a little sad that where I am trying to get is still not what I would consider well but I will still be happy to get there. Its the little things as they say, whoever they are...
Work is going well, I am still loving my role which surprises me a little (normally I get bored after a year, if not sooner). I even am quite liking the surgeons I deal with which very much surprises me, I didn't think that day would ever come. ED is still my fav department though, but then I see them in person more which I think has something to do with it. Well that and one of the consultants answers my rather random questions when I have them, and that is always a bonus. Not so sure about the last one though where she said it wasn't a weird question, paused then said for you...
My team also thinks I am very unique and I often get told I say the most random/entertaining things in conversation. I don't see what is so random or entertaining about it, to me it's just things a normal person would say. But they all seem to say things like that with kindness so I just roll with it lol. Sides I like me too much to change and people always seem to think I think different so it would likely be a losing battle anyhow :)
I have had a rather large pause from crafting, see above where I have been unwell, it affected my energy levels so badly I havent been able to craft, or do anything other than exist really. But I am slowly getting back into it and am pretending I don't care about how delayed some of the projects now are. And by slowly getting back into it I really do mean slowly, none of this spending the afternoon crafting like I used to. But I will get there, eventually. On the bright side my book reading is going extremely well and I have watched quite a few documentaries so it's not like I have just been sitting here just twiddling my thumbs lol.
For those who might have lost track of time this year, I have 6 weeks (minus 1 day) of being in my 30s. Then it is on to the next decade for me. Am I doing anything much for my birthday I hear you ask... well no, that requires having enough energy to make plans and know you can keep them which I have not been very good at this year (thankfully I have very understanding friends). So on my bday I am going to have a very quiet lunch with a few good friends, then I will see my parents and brother a couple weeks after that for a birthday thing. Just nice, quiet, small things this year. But you can be rest assured that inside I will be celebrating like normal me, and I will be all excited and stoked that I have made it to another bday. Ever since seeing someone comment that they are like video game levels and each bday is a level up I like to think of them like that to now :) and I am more than happy to keep levelling up hehe.
Well I think that is about it from me for now, hopefully it won't be quite as long between this and the next update as it was between this and the last one. I hope you are all well and happy, stay warm my friends 💜💛💚
