A Quick Update ❤️

Gang.

Hi. Hello

How are we all? ...

It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?...

I can’t believe quite how long it’s been since I last posted. I’m sorry, I have no valid reason why. I’ve literally just been stalking Mrs Hinch, streaming YouTube vlogs and falling asleep to true crime podcasts 😂🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂

In all seriousness, if you read my previous posts, you’ll know that this hasn’t been the easiest year for me, my physical or mental health. And after a long absence, I returned to work in August ... right around the time I gave up on the blog. 

🧐🤔

 ... No, That’s not just a coincidence. Work has been, and I say this with love, demanding. My managers and colleagues have been so supportive and considerate during my return (to my face at least 😂),  even though I know my prolonged absence has meant the additional work, stress and pressure has fallen onto them. Returning has made me fall back in love with my job, it’s literally the only thing I’ve really wanted to do. But at some point in every single shift, my job is physically, mentally or emotionally demanding. Sometimes it’s all of them at once. Unfortunately, that is just the nature of nursing and I know that won’t ever change. 

It’s hard to live your best life when you are always worrying if having fun today means you’ll be in too much pain or too exhausted to work the next day. I try not to be too “active”, have a busy day or have a late night when I’m working the following day. Similarly, I try not to make too many plans on my first day off after working. It’s a juggling act (I can’t juggle) and a balance (I literally fall over air) and I’m still learning from trial and error. Not working, changing my job or changing my hours is, currently, not a viable option for me. 

So for now, I’ll try to post more frequently and share my experiences in life, treatments, “alternative medicines” anything, everything and generally just have a bit of a rant. 

Sounds fun doesn’t it? See you soon 

❤️

xoxo
