Well, yet again, I'm long over-due in writing to this lovely website.
Just a few lines to keep those interested (and those still awake) aprised of the goings on of late. I'm about 3 weeks into my job as a "General Assistant" (posh word for a Dog's Body) at our esteemed local supermarket. I chose to do Nightshifts, not simply because the pay is supposed to be better (not seen a penny yet!!!!!!) but also because that was the only space they had left.
The work though hellish is getting somewhat easier, though my strss levels vary depending on who's in charge and whether they're good in that role or not...enough said. I'm told that once you've been in a leadership role, it's hard to take a back seat and follow orders...to be honest I was rather hoping to take a back seat, but it's a big ask when the person driving hasn't been trained to or doesn't know how to! Annnnyway...the team are lovely, and I'm praying the remainder of my 11-week contract goes by as quickly as is possible.
The worst thing about the crazy shifts patterns (which are even MORE unpredicatble than I ever thought possible) is that I've been as yet, unable to attend a church service since this work began. I tried to 2get up" after an hour's sleep last Sunday, but failed dismally.
The good thing about all of this extra physical work is it helps the weight-loss drive I've been on over the last 5 or so weeks. To date, I have lost just over 2 stone, and can barely recognise myself in the mirror (not least since I've not weighed as little as I currently do since I was 15!!!!!!). Though the additional "exercise" has done me good, I'm sure the willingness to walk more and drive less has also helped. But peronslally i think it's Catherine's guidence in what to eat and when...I beleive we're falling the RC GI Jeans diet...it's certainly done the job. Last week I lost 2 pounds, this weigh-day I've lost 5 pounds!!!! it's all very exciting. Though no one can quite see where it's still got to be lost from, the Doctor thinks I should aim to loose another 2!!!! Ho hum...we'll see.
So yeah, thinner, working hard, no church... that would be me at the moment. Sorry there's nothing else to say, but apart from a few good mates coming to see me...my life is pretty much limited to work, eat and sleep at the moment.
Loads-a-love for now
