Finally, at last, after patiently waiting, my first day at my new job arrived yesterday! But my goodness, what a journey it took. By Saturday afternoon I was feeling crook! A fever, aching all over, a beast of a cough. Not ideal as I had so much I wanted to do before starting work e.g. Sort out working attire, thinking about packed lunch - soup or sandwich? Did they have a microwave? Did they have spoons? Was everyone on a diet? Could I eat chocolate? I also wanted to sort my house out and make sure it was spotless. I wanted to make sure I had my notebook, diary, P45 etc. Sunday and Monday were written off. I felt like death warmed up and did nothing at all! I'm starting to worry that I'll still be ill come Thursday!! Imagine lol. Tuesday I went to the hairdressers. At least my hair would be lush even if I looked like a corpse. Half way through I'm hair dye my nose started to bleed. Like a lot!! The girls in the salon gave up on tissue and gave me a towel instead. It poured! Some debate and googling of head back vs head forward. Pinch nose at the top vs pinch nose at bottom! Eventually it stopped, after about 30 mins!! I survived! My front tooth crown started to wobble. Been having trouble with it for ages and my dentist not managing a permanent fix. It is so going to call out and leave an unsightly gap in my front teeth!! Argh!! Wednesday drove son back to Inverness. I didn't sleep well at all. Partly because I was still barking like a dog, and partly because I was probably nervous/excited! My alarm going off on Thursday morning was not welcome! And then I discovered we had a power cut!! It was cold, dark with no hot water!! I had to have cereal for breakfast instead of porridge. I got dressed to the light of my mobile torch. I managed to put eye cream all over my face thinking it was serum. It was also zero degrees so I had to de-ice the car!! And if all that wasn't enough.....drum roll please.....(I'm sure you can guess). I had PMT too!!!
Anyway. First day was good. Everyone lovely. Lots to learn but I'm sure I'll love it!
My diet? I have thought about it, I can't lie. But thought is about all I've done. What with all the above happening my diet was just not a priority. But I didn't start my plan in 2019 until February anyway and I did ok. So I think let's just concentrate on the job and finishing all my Christmas chocolates!
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind.
