  • Starting as I mean to go on....

    I really am trying to blog more as promised this year and as im sitting here watching the soap omnibus marathon it seemed like an opportune time, watching the various storylines around child abduction, murder, adultery and the like makes you realise that life could indeed be a whole lot worse.

     

    Bunnybunbunbun - you needn't apologise, I set my birthday wrong on here as January rather than december which is why it didnt show as my birthday the other day. Thank you for the message anyway  I think when I did it it was because I genuinely need this place to be somewhere I can write freely and without fear of anyone I know reading it so I thought not putting my real birthday was a good idea, now im not so bothered but I still want to be 'undiscovered' if you know what I mean because its liberating and I need this outlet. I hope that doesnt make me seem deceitful.

    It was a lovely birthday considering and the last few days have been interesting to say the least. My husband and I had an interesting conversation last night, at the end of which I felt like I had lost a massive weight off my shoulders. Basically we agreed that we are indeed working towards sorting out our marriage and that its going well and we are happy. I knew I was but this confirmation from him was so valuable. Usually its very difficult to get him to talk about his feelings or anything emotional but last night he did. And he agreed it feels different this time and that we seem to be back on the same wavelength that always made is special in the first place.

    I feel weird, cautious, happy and relieved. Most of all I just feel like everything is happening as it should and that however this turns out that was how it was supposed to be, thats a totally new mindset for me but I feel like its the right and the best one to have for me at this moment in time. 

    If you had said to me a year ago that this is how things would be I wouldnt have believed you. We arent going to rush things though, part of me has learned to absolutely love living on my own, I guess if things go well we will have to get used to living together again. I guess the biggest lesson I learnt over the last 2 years is to be happy on my own and enjoy my own company, I will NEVER give that up again and I guess maybe thats why things are starting to work out for us again, im independent and confident rather than clingy and possessive. We have both done a lot of growing up during this hiatus. 

    Anyway, I am so not in the mood for work tomorrow, this christmas break has gone way too fast. Im sure at least half the country are with me on that one though. Onwards and upwards I guess.... 

  • New Year, turning 30 and other stuff

    Hello

    Well its been a while and so much has been happening, but with the new year having just arrived and me having also turned 30 on new years eve, it seemed an appropriate time to catch up or attempt to.

    Im feeling really strange this morning, bizarrely I dont have a hangover and maybe this is because I was actually quite 'sensible' and didnt drink a silly amount (sign I am indeed becoming an 'adult' ??) but it feels kinda strange to be sitting here just a little tired. Im reflecting on so much right now and its freaking me out a little, I always find that I tend to do this round my birthday/new year but this year more than ever before I feel the need to reassess where I am with everything. Maybe its the hitting 30 thing.

    So the things that are going round in my head are a little confusing. Work has been really weird the last 6 months or so because people were let go at the end of their contracts, the atmosphere was strained, ive been knackered and pretty pissed off with my job for a while and my own contract comes to an end in mid 2009, as things stand at the moment I cant bank on getting another and maybe thats just confirmation that its time to move on. The problem is though that I have another year of my MBA to do and so leaving them before thats finished would not be a wise move financially. We will have to see what this year brings, I love sharing the office with my friend now though, we have managed to get into routine with it and I cant imagine him not being there now.

    Relationship is weird at the moment and has been for a while, me and my husband have been spending a LOT of time together and really enjoying it and I dont know where thats leading. I think there is more reason to work on a marriage than abandon it but I just dont know whether things will get back towards that or not and the strange thing is I feel ok not knowing at the moment, maybe because knowing would involve possible heartbreak all over again. We have a couple of holidays booked already for 2009 and I take that as a sign of progress. Of course I still love him as much as I ever had, I just cant switch it off.

    I have learnt that friends are not forever. Friends can be very false and can let you down even when you thought they never would. They can be duplicitous  deceitful and downright nasty. I actually have learnt not to be so damned reliant on other peoples acceptance. On the flip side I have realised that some friendships I perhaps didnt value as much as others, were stronger than I gave them credit for, that you can find support in the places you least expect it. I have stopped caring whether people dislike me because thats life, there are many people I dislike, it cant be helped.

    I need to do some more thinking around what I want to get out of this year and then I will be back. I need a bath and a ponder. Happy New Year to one and all, honest to blog I will be posting more regularly this  year
