Progress report...
Well, it has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride for me lately, but I am glad to say I think it's calming down now...I have good days (well okayish actually) and I have bad days. If you imagine a set of old fashion scales (you know, the zodiac sign of Libra has these kind of scales!) and put good days on one side and bad on the other I'd say they are saying the good days are slightly ahead.
I have been off work for the last 3 months and I can't believe I only have 3 weeks until I return to work. I am very nervous because I will be returning to start a new role at the same Company, but I am also very excited too! I think I'll be much happier once I have completed my first week back in "the saddle" so to speak. On the few occassions I have gone into work to meet up with colleagues for lunch and catch ups its taken me hours and hours to get round the building before leaving. So many people have stopped me along the way, wanting to find out how I'm doing and telling me they miss me, my smile and bubbly personality! I hadn't realised I was known that well to have been missed. I can't begin to say how much this has given me a warm and fluffy feeling inside! bless them ;)
My new Boss has arranged for me to use an automatic car for the next month or two, this should be kinder on my healing feet. How lovely of him to do that for me. I hope he continues to be this kind and thoughtful, and we will get along just fine!
I am glad to say, I'm feeling a lot more positive that things are going to be just fine. So much has changed in my life over the last 3 to 4 months that I have had no control over and this has scared me no end. I am a very neat, tidy, methodical, logical and sensitive person, so this has been hard for me to deal with. I don't mind change normally, one thing at a time maybe, but the changes have been so drastic that it has been so hard for me to "go with the flow"...
Flickr has been a godsend to me whilst being off. I have met so many new "virtual friends" along the way, and I have even met up with a few too (Lexie's Mum and BadgerBadger) which has been great! I have had no time to be bored, since flickr is open 24hrs a day and someone is always on-line ready to chat in flickr IRC (chat channel).
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me through this testing time, I couldn't have done it without you!
I shall stop now, before I go all "Hollywood" and launch into my award acceptance speach!!
