Hi All!
Hope this journal entry finds you travelling well and that something good has happened for you not so long ago.
Something great has happened to me, I got that job I was telling you all about! HOORAY!!! I've been out of work for around 3yrs due to my back injury and finishing my studies at Uni so its a really big deal for me right now.
I'm working 4 days a week at the moment for 5 hour shifts each day, the pay is pretty terrible really but the working conditions are good, the work itself isnt that stressful and the people are all a joy to get to know. I never thought I would say this in a million years but I am actually looking forward to going to work each day, I'm enjoying it! (I'm smiling while I write this)
I havent been on the internet much for quite a while because I have been struggling a bit to keep up with work and daily living stuff - but hopefully it is getting a bit easier from now on. I'm finding that I'm really tired a lot of the time and tend to end up lying down reading a book of somekind rather than getting on the internet or doing anything slightly active. Hopefully that is changing now, I just need more time than usual to recharge my 'batteries'.
Also I recently changed my anti-depressants to nortryptilene (spelt something like that anyway) because the effexor stopped working for me. The switchover was pretty painless (thank goodness) and I think the new anti-depressants must be working because I feel ok to pretty good most of the time.
I've been wondering how you folks are going so now I'm going to start catching up.
Current goals : saving up to buy a car, more exercise, improving my self esteem, & to be a better friend!
Hugs to all of you in case I dont get to catchup with you yet - I hope I will soon. Until then hugs to you all and best wishes for a safe and happy christmas.
