Word of the Week - Easier

I've not been well over the weekend and the beginning of the week. Headaches, sickness and an upset stomach. I've not been eating properly, sleeping well and my burn on my wrist from last week is irritating me. I'm unhappy in work, I really don't like my new job, despite all the support I'm getting from SLT.

In fact everything is irritating me right now. The weather, the permanent grey skies, the drive to work with all the potholes, the flooding and the road works.

I'm behind with my running and training for the Brighton Marathon and it's all got on top of me. Combine this with stopping smoking and putting all my focus into that. I've not been in the best headspace.

But there is a sliver of hope. The ill health is short lived. I've applied for 2 new jobs. Spring is only round the corner. Stopping smoking will help me with the running of the Brighton Marathon on the Day. I've just got to stop deal with what is going on now, be thankful for what is to come and just get on with it.

Easier said than done sometimes.

I dragged myself out of bed on Sunday afternoon had a deep, hot bubble bath. Got dressed and went out for a coffee.

On Monday I treated myself to some flowers.

On Tuesday I applied for some new jobs. I cannot fault the support I receive but it is very stressful and I just don't need that level of stress in my life anymore.

On Wednesday I went for a walk.

Thursday, I'm off to the gym.

Peter helps me out in the week by washing my cup and preparing my coffee in the mornings and taking the car off charge so I can leave on time for work.



It does make things easier when you have someone to help you and it does make things easier when you're not so hard on yourself.

  1. It sounds like you are dealing with a lot but I am glad you have found some slivers of hope, I hope you are feeling a bit better now. Good luck with the job hunting and try not to be so hard on yourself.
