This is the first day following my holiday that I have felt almost normal. This weekend is all about me getting back in to my life stride. It feels like there is so much catching up to do.I cant believe we are now in August, where is this year going?
Jet lag was a killer and didn't help my mood on return to work. Work went downhill pretty fast, there's some good people that I work with but the others, well. 1 or 2 seem to be deliberately going out of their way to make my life stressful ! So I have come to the conclusion that life is far too short to be unhappy so I am therefore looking for something new. Feels like a weight has been lifted, I gave it my best shot but sometimes you just dont click and teamwork is very important to be. Onwards and upwards they say.
So' The holiday, what can I say. Loved it. Not so keen on Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios but loved Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Loved Universal but not Islands of adventure. Hated the crowds. Our apartment was fab, the hire car great, the weather changeable whilst maintaining very hot temps and humidity. Fantastic lightening storms. The exchange rate is rubbish so it could be quite expensive. We didn't get too do as much as we wanted but we only took 2 rest days out of the 14. Feels like we only skimmed the surface. It was blooming exhausting. I'll pop a few pics onto a separate post. I have loads and need to sort them out first ! here's a little snippet
The day after our return I drove up to Worcester to pick up Frank, ( our new hound)
hes settled in really well, has found his voice and likes to bark, a lot. He's also decided hes a great digger of holes ! Hes not keen on other dogs when we take him for a walk and haven't yet tested out his free running and recall, need to find a very secluded place to do that!
Craft wise I have done very very little, just haven't been in a crafty mood at all. I did however cast on another project with a fade kit, will pop a post up on WIP Wednesday.The major thing I did craft-wise was a HUGE yarn destash. I had years worth of single skein sock yarns and other odds and ends, it was stifling me, so I upped and culled it all. I have only left myself with stuff I know I will knit and have an idea for a project with. To be honest I just dont knit or wear socks anymore. I still have 2-3 pairs in process. I have a very good knitter friend who I gave it all too! I just know that she will love it and use it. I bought myself an organiser thingy, and its now all sorted and tidy, it feels great. I am still on a no buy though!
Reading has been ongoing, when i'm stressed I escape into books.Getting through quite a few, need to update my book list. I have a to read pile of about 30, need to go on a no book buy.
Health wise, no changes there, still thinking about being healthier, still not doing much about it !
And thats it, a brief catch up. Hopefully now I can get back into my rhythm and start doing more stuff that I love, which includes blogging !
