The Worst Week of My Life

I feel at the moment, like my life has been like an episode of that BBC comedy series 'The Worst Week of My Life' It seems this holiday has been one catastrophe after another.

First we get home and I go straight back to work, which in itself is not a bad thing, just highly tiring. But we get to Tuesday, and while delivering pharmacy items for work, I am involved in a car crash. Yes, you read it right. A delightful young man drove into the back of me. There isn't a great deal of damage to the car, and I'm no longer hurt- had very slight mild whip lash. But still was pretty traumatic as was already having the day from hell. Working with the pharmacist from hell, driving for 3 hours getting very lost.
That week did not however get better, I was already ill and taking rubbishy antibiotics and so was pretty tired and so having to carry on working every day and getting shouted at by patients for things that weren't my fault were not appreciated. I had every intention on screaming at patients to just go away and find someone else to complain to, because it's not my fault I cannot help them so just leave me alone.

I thought the first week of the holidays going a bit pear shaped was enough and then christmas would be lovely. 2 days off work to relax and chill out with the famille and stop being so tired. However it did not quite work out like that.
Tuesday evening I start getting stomach cramps and just put it down to trapped wind or something. Only it didn't go away and come Christmas eve at work I am in agony trying to stop myself shouting at people for making me do work when all I wanted to do was curl up and die.
It gets to 4pm, things are really starting to hurt, mum is in Maidenhead so I tell her of my pain, we go back to work and it is decided that I will be sent home early. I go home, but not before I must sit in the ASDA car park for about an hour in said pain, trying anything to get comfy in the car... for anyone who may have seen me in this car park on Wednesday evening, I apologise for my undignified seating position... sprawling across the front two seats with a handbrake up my back isn't quite how I imagined spending christmas eve, but it seemed to work for the time.
Things just carried on getting more painful until the sickness came on :(
Christmas day arrives and I feel better, so we go to Grandma and Grandad's as planned and I eat dinner, and christmas pudding... which was a biiig mistake. We have a relapse and I spend the evening not being very well and Grandma threatening to call an ambulance... which I felt was quite unnecessary, people get stomach bugs all the time and do not call ambulances.

Anyhow, boxing day I spend the whole day either in bed or slumped on the sofa watching tv. Now today I feel a lot better and feel I may now even be able to venture towards the shower and get clean and dressed :)

Lets hope the second half of my holidays are not quite as disasterous.
Come on 2009, give me some good health please?

I do hope everyone else had lovely christmasses.

Return to the Homeland

So it seems this term has whizzed by scarily quickly and I'm already sitting at home in my room missing uni people and excited about catching up with friends from home.
However I've realised I've got so much to do, I don't think I've left time in my schedule for sleep...
I have so much uni work to do it's crazy.
I want to see everyone as much as possible, I miss you all :)
Need to earn some money so working a fair bit too.
Got lots of things to sort out around the house, like gutting out my bedroom, which is going to be a huge task just in itself.

Can't see this all happening without me having to give up sleeping, and as I don't sleep enough at uni I need holiday time to sleep.
Considering I came home from uni ill need to recouperate and try and not spend all of next term being ill.

So far since being home I've been chilling at home with the famille, been to work *snore* and today went to the Becky High presentations... which were a bit lame, just us all sitting around chatting, which we really didn't need to go into school to do. However trundled into Wycombe afterwards for some dinner and a generally quite fun evening so all in all not a wasted time. Though pretty glad Becky High days are well and truly over, there's nothing else for us to go back for... no more ceremonies or socials or anything... school is finally over. Quite a scary thought now I think about it. We're all off in the real world doing new and exciting things and I absolutely love it :)

Anyway, think I'd like to go somewhere exciting this holiday, a day trip somewhere different, after being in Birmingham and knowing that all my uni friends are in places I've generally not been to before has made me keen to go exploring somewhere new. Whether its to visit someone from uni or just go on a whim somewhere exciting I don't know. It's however not so much fun if you go on your own, so will need a willing co-explorer to embark with on this trip. Anyone up for that let me know and we'll get chatting about where our expedition will be (on a budget of course, need to have the money I earn over christmas to pay for living next term!!)

Anyway, as I've so much to do should really get on with it.
Will update soon, gotta stop leaving such big gaps between my posts. Hopefully something exciting and intruiging will have happened by then.

Inspiration

Having read Brooke's blog on New Years resolutions, I hate to say I've broken almost all of mine except lose weight, which I did, then shamelessly I feel have put it all back on since being at uni, though this of course is unconfirmed due to not having any weighing scales here :)

Therefore I feel I should try and set rather more realistic goals :)

1. Play the flute every day
2. Book a piano practice room more often
3. Drink lots more water
4. Drink less alcohol
5. Go to bed at a more reasonable hour
6. Keep in touch better with people

These should be do-able, just gotta put it all into practice, will report back with how it goes.
