This weeks news......

Its been a good week at work, and I havent been able to say that in quite a few months, apparently our previous employer is going out saying he has sacked Debbie (he didnt she handed her notice in, followed by them putting her on gardening leave). They tried to bad mouth me too, but luckily people didnt believe what was said. To be honest I have walked away head held high.

The picture was taken durung our last holiday in Cornwall, Nova and I being silly and Gary catching the moment.

 

Garys Mum has had several falls this week, not sure why, in fact she rung us in the early hours of this morning, saying she had fallen again, paramedics had got her up, made her comfortable, tried ringing us, but the mobiles were downstairs and we didnt hear them until much later. One thing learned we must take mobiles upstairs when we go to bed.

Been to the Physio for more treatment on my longstanding back problem. Finally feels like I am getting there. Also had a great gym session with Nova and Punisher Chris. Cycling, Rowing, a few weight exercises and stretches. We are due to go again tonight, but that depends on what is going on with his Mum.

Had a session with Lara, (Lara Lewis Hypnotherapist) last night, we worked on a few things, I would highly recommend Lara as she works wonders. She got me through my bad black days.

Anyway I want to finish with another beautiful picture from Cornwall, this makes me feel very happy

So until next time

Live, Laugh and Be Happy

Update

Im going to try and write this blog every week, whatever news I have.

Its now been 7 weeks since I started my new job at Total Freight, Im loving it. Nice colleagues, very nice environment over looking the sea. Its been hard getting to understand their systems, but at last I feel like I'm getting there. Angie has been on holiday for the past 10 days, so its just been me and Chris, but we have really worked well together. He really seems to appreciate me, which is more than I can say of the last lot.

The hospital has decided to take me off my tablets and injections immediately, without even seeing me to discuss it, I am now struggling with what I guess are withdrawel symptoms, I am waiting on a referral back to the hospital.

I have been spending a lot of time over the last few months thinking about 'organising' my life, but to be honest everything seemed such a faff, Taking too much time to get going, that I know I was doomed to fail.

Talking to a friend of mine, she showed me a small moleskine diary, week to a page, plus a blank page to write all my notes on. I umed and arhed about it, and decided to give it a try, its a 18 month diary starting 1st July. I keep it in my bag along with a notebook of the same size where i keep any thoughts when they come into my head. I feel that this is a good idea for me, not complicated, but organised enough.

Today has been a beautiful day, lots of sunshine, very warm but breezy too. Im sat here in the lounge, blinds and window open, its lovely. Wimbledon on the TV.......Gary is working on backshift all week, Nova has gone to Portugal working for a few days, so Im home along, got to get some enthusiasm to do a few jobs. Sorting out the washing, folding and putting it away.

Have a fabulous week, and I will be back after the weekend

Live, Love, Elaine xx x x

Where does time go ?

I cant believe where the time goes. Is it because Im getting older ?

Having just read my last post where I was about to leave Phoenix and go on holiday. So I will continue that story.....

I left my job, after 10 months, because despite many promises, things didnt happen. In the meantime customers were leaving us, and a chance conversation lead to a call and meeting, and I was offered a new job. To cut a long story short, Im now working in the same business, but in a friendly, busy environment with lovely people. 5 weeks have passed and Im loving it. I wont go into details but some people can be idiots and I believe wholeheartedly in Karma, whether it be sooner or later !

We had a fabulous few days in Cornwall, not the best of weather, but a nice break.

Its been a while.....

Good Morning Peeps

I know its been a while, but life has been a tad stressful, mainly work, but Im pleased to say I finish with Phoenix tomorrow at 5.30, it should have been good, but for lots of reasons, for me it didnt.

I must say a big Thank you to Lara Lewis (clinical hypnotherapist), who got me through many a crisis over the last few months. I really didnt realise just how bad things had got over the time. Gary did say at one stage he wanted his wife back.

I am now sleeping better, have got a smile on my face, Gary has his wife back again, we go out more, and generally enjoy life more.

Luckily I have been headhunted into a new job which I start a week on Monday. Next week we go to St Ives in Cornwall, for a few days, so life is looking better.

The sun is shining on my life at long last.

Live, love and laugh

Happy April

Good Morning Peeps

I cannot believe that we are already in April, now its officially Spring, the clocks have sprung forward, I hope the sun is shining on you, ok so its a bit windy and damp too, but Summer is just around the corner.

What is going on in our world, well Gary is now fit and back at work, still on 'light duties' for another few days, but he is doing extremely well. In fact he has started doing some jobs in the garden, removing quite a large palm tree, and cleaning out the water feature. He was very careful not to overdo things too much.

I have finished my sessions with the Cruse Bereavement councillor, it was very emotional, but worth every tear shed. I think I have finally laid to rest all of my issues with losing my Dad as a child and the problems with my mother.

Finally went back to the Gym last night to get my fitness back. I think Im going to ache a bit later, and as the lighter evenings kick in, I will go back to outdoor running to.

With the easter weekend looming, Gary is on nightshift, so what to do ? Good Friday will be spent working on finishing and being happy with my CV. Once this is done, I can start on looking and finding a new job, I realise its not going to be easy at my age, but I have so much knowledge and experience to offer a new employer. I am open to different opportunities, in any sphere of business.

On Saturday I will be having my hair cut and coloured, very tempted to have a complete change, with a view to moving forward with my life, but only time will tell if I am that brave.

Have a lovely week

Elaine xx

Further to my last post, it was an abscess, i had to have the tooth out' and antibiotics. I dont think I have ever had pain like that before. Happy to report I am recovering well. Even my back is improving, the hospital physio is helping a lot. As for work, mmm thats another story, I feel like I am being played for a fool, each day, emails, good guy, bad guy, Not sure what to do, keeping all options open. So if anyone knows of a opportunity for an mature person, reasonable pay, full time, where I would be appreciated, then give me a shout. Gary is coming towards the end of his sick leave, he has done extremely well, doing what he was told to do, and his recovery jas been excellent. I think he has coped well, didnt get as bored as I thought he would. Hopefully he will be going back to light duties at work next week. Live, Love, Laugh Elaine xx
