2018



  As the New Year fast approaches think about what this next year might hold fills me with fear in some respects and anticipation for others.

  I definitely need to find the strength mentally to get rent a place of my own.  It’s been nearly two years since I lived in a place that wasn’t my parents. After being so adamant for so long after my husband died that I wanted to move out our place I still haven’t with eagerness got rid of the place we shared for nearly 7 years.
After being able to travel to a new country by myself I think I want to travel again and see somewhere new. There’s definitely new countries to visit.
I would love to grow with my art. There is definitely room for improvement where that is involved. I need to be more confident in what I can do and not get annoyed when something doesn’t work the way I want it to.
Mentally I know the drs want to reduce my meds again in the new year. I’ve been down to the level before so I know I can handle it but even the thought of it is quite daunting. My health is a daily struggle so it’s each day as it comes. I know I’ve come along way since I was first diagnosed and have a long way to go. But each day over feel like another middle finger to my mental health that it didn’t win.
The job centre will be on at me again because to them I’m able to fit so I guess I will be starting the task of trying to find work again after so long not.
I will carry on with this blog where ever it may go. It has been a real help in letting me say the things I felt i couldn’t say out loud.

  I am unsure about what the year will hold but the above is the things that I know I have to think about and work on.
Let’s see how it goes.

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

Physical books vs kindle

where do you stand on this question? Physical books vs kindle ? For me I’m a physical book person but can see the benefits of kindle. I love walking into a book shop and seeing all the different types of book that are available. The colours, sizes, designs and even smell makes it more appealing. Feeling the crisp pages of a new book and knowing that you will be the first person to read that, to me that is what it is all about. With a book that you can hold you aren’t worrying about the battery running out. You know that you can just pick it up and start reading. There is also something very satisfying about finishing a book and seeing it closed in front of you. Don’t get me wrong I know that having a kindle has its advantages. You don’t have to carry a extra book around in your bag for one. And that if you do finish one book you don’t have to wait to get to the shops to get another. But does having a kindle really make it feel like you are reading a book? I guess the question wi...

Alone in a crowded room

   Being alone in a crowded room is something that I have been struggling with for some time. I could be sitting with a table of people and feel like it’s just them that’s at the table and that I’m not part of the table.    Would anyone notice if I got up and left ?    You try and start a conversation and the answer is giving to someone else and you aren’t even looked at when a reply is given. And with that you feel like shouting HELLO I’m here. It was me that asked the question. Are you even aware of what your doing ? Do you not see how it may look ? OR is it just my head trying to make me feel like crap. Because if it is it’s doing a really good job.     The noice gets louder and it’s sounds just like one person and not about 30. The want of putting your fingers in your ears and trying to make the sound that little bit quieter.   Sitting alone in a pub and you feel like your being judged but also very much alone. Do you interact ? ...
