This is my 100th post :) Honestly, I thought it would be than that the amount of time I seem to be pouring down the random thoughts that cross my mind. I've spent some time reading over my past blogs, there's a few fond memories, but a lot of them are just an awful lot of lady part waffle. So - thank you if you still are actually reading!
There’s an Example song at the moment; I only know it because it seems to be on the radio every time I climb in the car. Like many of his songs it’s incredible repetitive lyrics, which means the following has been drilled into me;
There’s an Example song at the moment; I only know it because it seems to be on the radio every time I climb in the car. Like many of his songs it’s incredible repetitive lyrics, which means the following has been drilled into me;
“You should keep your best friends close by, but keep your
enemies closer.”
Now I have always thought this was bullshit, and honestly, I
thought everyone thought it was bullshit. But lately I've realised watching
people the amount of people who live by this rule. I don’t mean when you’re
friends with someone to be courteous; often the case when your friend has a
boyfriend/girlfriend you don’t like but you make the effort for their benefit (yes you all know you do it, I bet most of you have a person in mind!) But anyway, I
mean full on, hating the person they spend every weekend going out with. I
actually don’t know how it’s even do-able. I very much adopt a ‘if I don’t like
them, I’ll do what I can to avoid them.’ approach. Honestly, for the most part it work!
Anyway, a little life update.
Firstly and most importantly – I have secured a new placement. Not
just any job, pretty much my dream job. From 5th November I will be
a Health and Wellbeing Psychological Practitioner – or basically, a counsellor.
It’s private practice so I won’t necessarily be using the NHS client centred
approach but incorporating a range of approaches which I prefer. A wider berth
and less subjective. I’m just looking forward to it so much though – my office
is a lovely cosy room; cliché couch and arm chair with dream catchers on the
wall and a kettle in the corner. I can see myself being happy there; and most
importantly, I’ll be doing something I’m passionate about. Due to lack of experience I'll be focussing on low secure clients; so things like relationship problems, general low mood; but still, I can't wait.
Last week was a busy week; spent catching up with friends –
old and new. Monday I went around to Liz’s new flat; I can’t help but feel
excited for them because I remember my own excitement when I first moved out. It's such a major landmark in your life. Tuesday I headed out for Mexican with Jake and a few of his friends; getting to know new people is always nice; as are fajitas. Wednesday night
was Wetherspoons and Stamps with a few lovely people – then Thursday I had a
night off; place to myself, bubble bath and pampering; ready for the weekend.
Then Saturday night was ‘unofficial’ Halloween and I threw a
party in ours. I invited a lot of people, and for various reasons ranging from
illness to working not many could make it. I was understanding of course, these
things couldn't be helped but at first I was a bit disappointed. But the night proved
that quantity is not everything, I had a fantastic night, good old fashioned
drinking games and banter with a few wonderful people.
I spent Sunday feeling very grateful for some of the people
I have the pleasure of having in my life right now.
That is all for now. One thing last week did manage to do it
completely exhaust me; and possibly KO my kidneys – so for now I am off to bed!
