It was a longish while since I last posted here on my own website, so I thought I’d take some time out from a kind of crazy time in my life to share some letters with you. Actually, I don’t even think I’ve posted much of a blog ever since I came back from the land of Regner! Oh my. I apologise.
But, you see, that’s what the working world can do to you. Restrict your creativeness and connection with the wider world. A job can really close your mind - especially since it is actually the first job I have ever had. Plus, it is not easy. I’m working in electrical retail for a UK chain who have a store in town. Honestly. I could never have expected the stress that could come with a pretty standard job as a “cashier”. Paperwork; returns; phone calls; complaints; Mr-supposed-to-know-it-all; counting money; slave. You see, I had one day’s training. Then I was dropped like a bomb.
I’ve been working full time for the past two weeks. Yesterday I felt like quitting! But, no, I’m not a quitter. Yet. We’ll see how the run up to Chirstmas treats me.
Anyway. I have the weekends off - my lifeline. I spend them with Jess which rejuvinates me with motivation to stretch on for another five days. We’ve been ice skating, up mountains, to small Welsh towns, eating out, shopping and out at night in just the last two weekends. It’s great. Jess has a week off of college this Friday, and my family are going away, whereas I’ll still be beating out the persistant routine. Next Thursday Jess is having her tonsills out which isn’t a great occasion really. She’s strong, and she’ll just take it in her (short) stride :p Give her some love x
Apart from the outside world, I have continued to digest the hours of footage collected over just seven days in Puerto Rico. So far we are live up to episode ten from the series! And I predict at least another ten to go :] I really hope you’re enjoying them. They take a lot of work to edit and upload. Alas, it’s fun.
Well this was just a quick update on what I’ve been up to. And to prove Regner didn’t kidnap me. I shall be back soon in the near future x
