…sure what’s happened here lately! I was so determined I was going to be doing stuff to post about regularly. I had my routines organised to allow for some spare time for sewing or knitting or whatever. The kids went back to school, I went back to work, Blokey was busy with his work and a new boss…things were looking good. I was getting into my routines bit by bit…Thing Two started Cubs, Thing Three began at Brownies…and we were full-on. Then it happened! A few weeks ago Blokey got suspended from work…him and a few others. He’s done nothing wrong, although his new boss seems determined to pick at things that occurred before he started and were okayed by the boss at the time…so, needless to say we’ve been spending all our sparetime trying to figure this out, still wondering what he’s supposed to have done as there has been nothing specific for him to answer to…just a broad accusation that covers multiple clauses of his contract…I wish like anything they would hurry up and decide what it is he’s supposed to have done! The only plus in this is he’s still being paid. It’s been enormously stressful for us and the kids I’m sure know something’s not quite right…we haven’t told them anything yet.
I was away last weekend with Thing Two for a family wedding…it was a great time, I got to meet a niece I hadn’t met yet and reaquaint myself with some family I hadn’t seen in years. The wedding was really enjoyable and everyone seemed to have had a good time. I also found out something about the family health history which could explain why I’ve been feeling as I have for the last while – I can’t recall how long! My family, in particular the females, seems to have rather a lot of hypothyroidism…my father did too, a fact I had forgotten. Since I’ve been back I’ve been doing a bit of research as to symptoms and such…I seem to have many of them on a consistent basis and some others irregularly. I do need to make an appointment to see the doctor – something I avoid at all costs! There’s a part of me that wants to have this condition and another part of me wants not to. On the one hand it would explain things and with medication hopefully I could get some energy back and be able to do more. On the other hand….I can’t remember what I was going to say. If I have this thing then I may stand half a hope of meeting my weight-loss and exercise goals which at the moment are heading in the opposite direction from where I need to be!! That is frustrating! The current uncertainty around Blokey’s job does not help with any of this…in fact I won’t go until something is resolved and we have more certainty…although he really wants me to go, we both know money is an issue if he ends up with no job!
And on that cheery note I shall away and get the veggies ready for dinner….and maybe add a dessert as well….
