It's time for an update on the happenings of my life. My job is going
fantastic and I'm going to be gaining some qualifications on the side,
such as a groupwork
one and possibly another which would allow me to apply for support
worker posts with any company/charity, including substance misuse. This
totally intrigues me although two qualifications at the same time as
working a full time job my prove a little too much. On the relationship
front, we're doing ok.
I'm a bit stressed and very lonely at weekends as the man is working
them all now, but I guess I just have to carry on and things will work
out. Right?
There's also a new addition to the family -
and no, I'm not pregnant! We have a puppy. She's an Alaskan Malamute
called Sasha and a total numpty.
But the cutest thing in the world and I think she knows it... which is
possibly a bad thing but hey ho! The cats are slowly getting used to the
fact that she's here, although Dean is less unsettled than Sam is,
simply because Sam is such a dominant cat. However, they'll get used to
her and it'll be good. She's still a little "accident" prone but she's
learning and getting used to being in her crate and also on a lead. We
bought her an anti-chew lead (infused with chilli's!!) and she took one
bite and decided against it... I can't say I don't blame her!
On
the social front, I met up with my friend from two jobs ago. I got to
meet her little girl as well. We had a lovely catch up and it was
amazing to see Sasha with a little'in. She was FAB! Just wanted to
protect the wee one and she was Sasha's main focus. Just goes to show
she'd be great with kids. *FAT CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING ANY TIME SOON.*
I'm also back on twitter (@poppy_nicol) and still going strong with
Facebook (facebook.com/xALNx). I do suck at keeping my blog up to date,
but I promise to try more in the future, given that a major part of my
job is working on a computer right now.
On the computer
front, I'm hoping to start writing again - properly. I really want to
try writing a book for real, so I'm going to give it a go. If it works,
it works. If not, oh well!
I think that's all there is apart from the fact that I just touched my eye and its started pouring with tears... why?!
