First of all I WI on Thursday - first since I got back from my holiday so roughly 2 weeks - 4 wonderful pounds off! I only put on 5 so 4 off is super-dooper! Best Thursday EVER!
Then on Friday I get a call from my new boss in my new job - which I have known that I have for well over 4 weeks! Red Tape, disclosures and paperwork contracts - nightmare! So, anyway, she calls me to tell me that we are good to go and when do I want to start! So 1 week today I will be starting my new job as a social worker! Best Friday EVER!
Then on rolled the weekend! Now - I know that I am a 25 year old woman but I probably look forward to the Halloween weekend second only to Christmas (and my birthday). I love getting dressed up!! I love seeing everyone else dressed up! I think its so much fun, and I laugh more than all the other weekends put together!
As you can see from my get-up I was Jackie Sparrow - that's Captain Jackie Sparrow to you - and I was the s3xiest pirate who ever sailed the seven seas. I looked great and I felt amazing! Even at my biggest Halloween has always been fun simply because you don't have to look sexy!
So me and my trustworthy crew (consisting of an ompa lompa, a 1930s show girl, hannibel lecter, a firewomen, snow white and mechanic) set out on an adventure of a lifetime, drank copious amounts of rum and fraternized with the land-loving population! We had a super awesome time and I am reminded about the amazing friends that I have around me! Best Saturday EVER!
And finally we come to Sunday - where I lay on my friend couch allllll day - literally alllll day! I only moved to pee or to get food! Points.........pfffft......lets say about 4000! Best Sunday EVER!
So now Monday is drawing to a close and I get a chance to think about how lucky I am to be surrounded by genuinely good (most of the time) people! My friends and family are (most of the time) absolutly fabulous! They pick me up - they dance with me - they tell me to stop being a mean drunk - they get me drunk - they get emotional at the thought of me moving away (an hour and a half in the car) - they tell me to stop getting emotional over moving away - they support me - they show me love, tough and otherwise - they tell me off and they hug me when I need it (or even when I don't ask for it! or want it! Yes Jo I am talking to you!)
This weekend - my impending move to another part of the country - my new career starting has left me with a rollercoaster of emotions! One minute I am excited the next I get a lump of fear and anxiety in my chest! I start to panic, to analyse, to plan - then I tell myself to remember Thailand - that planning isn't always necessary and that sometimes you have to go with the flow!
When I was in Thailand I met an amazing artist who did beautiful paintings on cloth with motivation messages. I bought one which had this saying:
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about dancing in the rain"
and I am going to dance, with my friends dancing right beside me!
