Intro
I have never kept a diary or put my thoughts down on paper but many people have told me that my mental health and weight issues are partly down to not dealing with grief and that I should go see a counsellor for help. I really dont want to do that so keeping this blog is my way of self counselling.
I am no good at talking to strangers and dont like to burden my friends or my wife with my problems, partly because I know what advice they are going to give, I know all the answers I just need to do it!
I have listened to people since I started this and it's become more about my mental than physical health. I am far less stressed about little things but I know I have to start working again soon and don't want all the good work to be ruined.
ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED, DELETED 3 MONTHS OF BLOG IN ERROR AND CANT GET IT BACK!!!
New Blog from 10th October
Day 11 up early to take the car for its MOT, no doubt it will cost a fortune. Need to do some prep for my interview tomorrow, I really want this job, it could see me through to retirement. Been keeping my leg up alot more and i can see the difference, just need to keep going until we go on holiday.
Day 10 slept in bed and slept ok, probably slept too much through the day but i do love a snooze, Lisa goes mad me with but i dont know why. Plenty of chores to do today plus still have loads of boxes in the garage to get rid of.
Holiday countdown is on too, ordered a few bits of clothes and might start making a list of packing later.
Day 9 Slept on sofa so I could keep my leg elevated, slept surprisingly well. Missed a tablet yesterday, no idea which one though, was a moody twat all day :-) luckily Lisa was out all day.
Day 8 Another great sleep, no alcohol or takeaways helps i suppose. We have now checked in for our holiday!!! that has come around so quickly, more good news i have a second interview next week, it feels good that there is no pressure to get it, if it doesnt feel right i will wait for something that does.
Day 7 Decent sleep so up early ish, chased up the job i had an interview for and the director in charge has been away so its still pending, really got my fingers crossed for this one, growing company who deal with smaller businesses transactional finance, ideal for me to progress and could be my last job before i can afford to retire.
Went to opticians for first time in 7 years yesterday!! going a bit more funky than normal.
Day 6 Writing this blog has not achieved what i set out to achieve, because its open to others to see i am not 100% honest , i need to beat myself up sometimes, i need to say things as i see them without worrying about what people think. Mentally I am so much better than i was but am still snappy when i havent had enough sleep. There is 3 weeks to go until the cruise and i need to at least have a kick start now so i can enjoy it, and more importantly Lisa can enjoy it.
If you are reading this and it starts to get more negative then dont worry, its just me venting.
Day 5 up at 7am after next to no sleep!! had to give Jaffa a tablet before we take him to the vet for his nails clipping. Gonna have another couple of hours sorting the garage out later, lets see if I can find the council tip without ending up near the airport this time!!
Day 4 Signed on at dole hole, dont feel guilty about it any more. Less than a month until holiday so really need to be on best behaviour.
Day 3 Boiler man here before 8! Cant find anything wrong with the boiler, so cant explain all the water. Food being delivered shortly then need a snooze. Less than a month until this years big holiday and am not remotely ready.
Day 2 Slept until after 11! A tad hungover but had a great evening / night yesterday. Very lazy day today until we found our boiler leaking! Hopefully that can get sorted tomorrow.
Day 1 Deleted the old blog and no way to get it back, what a knob!!!!
Looking forward to yet another birthday celebration for Lisa, having a meal and sangria at Ambiente then off to watch the four seasons by candlelight.
