It’s today! In half an hour I’m heading to my rheumatology appointment. I’m trying not to get my hopes up. I keep telling myself that they’ll just tell me nothing is wrong. Even though I feel like this pain isn’t normal. The physiotherapist gave up. She was obviously relieved when I told her I had a rheumatology appointment because I didn’t have to be her problem anymore. She did her usual thing of pressing on my back, which did nothing but make me jump away from her hands and try not to yell out...

The past few weeks have been a nightmare. Not completely, there have been good points and it's not like I'm miserable or anything. But dear spaghetti they've been stressful. I worry about everything anyway, that's just me. But this time it was things I couldn't talk myself down from because they WERE worth worrying over.

Work got stupidly stressful when I was landed with a task that was started so badly by the other person that it took me two days to fix. It was a simple mailout to...

I haven't done a lot of TeenHelping for a while. Hands up, I've been awful on the Staffie front. At first it was revision for my exam, then it was celebrating my freedom and watching Netflix without feeling guilty. Crazy, right?

Unfortunately then I went to a physiotherapy appointment. I'm not sure what he did to my back, it really hurt while he was doing it but he said it would help. Ever since that appointment the pain has been way worse. Any longer than about 20 minutes sitting...

At last. No more revision, no more worrying, no more panicking and freaking out and stressing about forgetting things.
My exam was yesterday and, on balance, it wasn't too terrible. I was able to answer the terms with ease, and the two essays that came up were the ones that I had less detail prepared for but I managed to ramble on for 3-5 pages for each one so hopefully there's enough information there to get me some marks!

I had booked a doctor's appointment before the exam...

I've just woken up from an unplanned doze. It was only an hour or so but it's left me feeling really drowsy and lethargic. It's been a busy week at work. Thanks to our expansion (so lots of recruitment coming up) and Brexit (woohoo.) I've been tasked with going through all our personnel files individually. All 572 of them. Fun!
My poor dad is really suffering, he has a massive amount of work and a very short time period to do it. We stayed till about half six on Monday (I finish at half four...

I've been doing rather a lot of thinking about my degree recently. The module I'm doing right now is making me miserable, at best. I know that I could be putting a lot more into it and that's my fault for not just kicking the laziness and putting some hours in when I get home from work. But I'm at the point where I'm doing so badly in the module that even getting top marks for my last two essays and exam won't really bring my grade up anyway so there's no point. Even when I try really hard on something...

This week we paid the final balance for our holiday cottage! It's official! We're going on holiday in 30 days!!
I've never been on holiday with my mum and her sisters before so it will be interesting.
I haven't seen York for years, although I really loved visiting it before. It's been about 5 years now so I don't remember that much. Just the parts I saw more often like certain little shops and tourist things and some random little details and stuff. Like why they called this one street...
