Have just taken 2 weeks off to reflect and chill, given my newly redundant status. I rarely take time out from all things internet, but I had no desire to log on added to woeful service from Virgin Media so had a semi-enforced break. I have been a busy bee and not only visited my brother and other friends in the Midlands, but have done my best to spend some quality time with my London-based pals, given we spend more time rearranging dates due to work commitments than actually having them!!! I have also signed up with the various agencies who are on the look out for something suitable, and will ask them all for temp work next week if nothing comes up in the meantime. It's a naturally slow summer period so am anticipating a fair few months of uncertainty rather than expecting to get settled again in the near future.
I've also visited K's dad in his nursing care home, which was sad as he is there for palliative care, but a lovely opportunity for me to reassure him that his son is in safe hands now! Plus I have taken up baking and am a demon at lemon drizzle and cherry and almond cake now. Hmm, something tells me domestic bliss actually suits me, which is a slightly startling thought. After all, the natural path would be kiddies next but I am still soooo not ready, having spent quality time with lots of friends' babies of late. Fab for an afternoon, but definitely not forever!
I shall elaborate more on the visit to my bro in later posts but suffice to say it was a success. Plus, my greatest success so far? FOUR beautiful months of sobriety. Today was my anniversary and I am so, damn proud.
