Old times, new times

This year is going to be the year of catching up with old friends, making new ones and keeping in touch with everyone via phone, text, email and letter. Yes, I enjoy the odd bit of snail mail - when the postie decides to appear with my letters! Things seem to be on the mend for now, but we'll see how the post flows in the next few weeks. However, I am going to try my best to see as many people as I can over the next few months, spending time with those who really matter. I'm also determined to get into a new hobby, maybe take part in a group or something locally. I could start back horse riding on a saturday morning or something. That would keep me out of trouble and also keep me sort of fit. Since I have a voucher for the cabin and it's only 5 minutes away, it makes sense to try there first. If I don't like it, I can go somewhere else. There's always options.

How did I get onto the subject of hobbies??? Oh well, I did. Never kind. I could also investigate some other things to get into although riding and the fiddle are quite enough, I think. And maybe the piano again. I really want to get back into that - and it might help me keep my work life balance going seeing as I'm always tempted to take my work home which is totally forbidden!

On the subject of my new job, I'm having a ball and slowly learning what my place in the service is. I may not be doing one to one support but I'll be the one running the social groups which is almost as vital, if not more so! I have to start creating new groups in aberdeenshire too so this is going to be a huge challenge to me and I'm really looking forward to it, no matter how difficult it may be for a start. I'm just so glad I made this career change when I did. My mental and physical health have both improved remarkably and I'm more lively most of the time. I know I'm still tired quite a lot but that's mainly because I'm going to bed with the man every night so I'm getting far too much sleep too early and by the time he leaves, I'm awake, struggle to get back to sleep and by the time info, I'm shattered by the time I have to wake again. Nevermind, I'll get into a routine next week.

Anyways, I'll post again tomorrow. Night!
