I'm baaaack...
Hello! Bonjour! Ni Hao! Annyeonghaseyo! Kia Ora! Etc... Etc...
It's been awhile hasn't it? I'm not sure how many of you still read my journal or, even in fact, how many of you still use/read LiveJournal. It's only recently that I've waned to start writing in this again. I've come to the recent conclusion that I've been so busy that I actually want to take a few minutes out of every day and actually just write down what I've done, what I've felt and what is going on. Because I've been busy but I can't remember exactly what I've been doing, so when someone asks me I shrug, because I genuinely can't remember what I've done.
So this year, as well as working full time, I am also studying part time to become a registered Dispensing Optician. It's been crazy and full on but I have been enjoying it. My boss who is also my mentor and supervisor (and the one paying for it all!) is liking me to a sponge. He will tell me something and a couple of days later he'll hear me relaying it to a customer and he just gets blown away by how much I take it in. There are some moments though where he explains things two or three times and I just don't get it. Until that is, I explain it back to him then everything clicks in place and it just works.
I also didn't give up on the 100 days of happiness... well not straight away. I got to Day 50 before I felt that I wasn't giving it all. I took a week off and now I'm doing it again. I'm up to day 3 again and fingers crossed this time, I won't use pictures of my bed too often!!
A couple of weeks ago I hurt my back while taking a small run, cue the fact that I finally decided it was time for me to see someone about my constant back pain. As I mentioned to the chiropractor it was getting worse. While I hadn't been able to do some stuff before; now I wasn't able to make my bed without taking breaks and forget hanging washing out in a timely manner, it took me twice as long. He did some exercises with me and I saw him for a few appointments but it wasn't getting any better. He's asked me to get an X Ray as he believes that I might have degenerative disc disease/disorder thing in my lower lumber and that can be causing all my problems. It was about then that I also decided that maybe health insurance wouldn't be a bad idea and I did the whammy, contents, heath and life. Now I'm not sure but I've started to think those are grown up things so I've decided that I may in fact be starting to grow up.
It's a scary thought but we knew it was going to happen eventually...
