Hi guys! Happy hump day! I hope all of your weeks are going
well.
It’s been almost two weeks now since I moved back home to my
Dad’s house and I am finally starting to settle down. I think now that the craziness of actually
packing my whole flat up and handling the move is a distant memory, I am
finding things a lot easier.
I think I expected a bit too much of myself initially. With the last two months practically a write
off due to holidays, being ill, packing and dealing with viewings from new
tenants from the flat I was living in, I had barely done a scrap of work in all
that time. As each day became a mountain
of move related stuff to navigate through I longed to just sit and my computer
and work on projects. So after the move
was done I expected myself to just fire straight back into everything but as I
have found out it is not as simple as that.
I think it takes a week or so for you to get over the actual
stress of moving, so it was more towards the end of last week that I began to
find myself excited at the prospect of being able to work on my projects
again. I am still feeling those little
pangs of longing for my old home and my routines but slowly but surely my
childhood home is starting to feel like my home again.
I have only allowed myself to unpack clothes and essential
items, and I plan to leave everything else in boxes. I want to keep myself as motivated as
possible to be able to move out into my own place as soon as possible, in past
experience I have found that the more stuff you have to pack up the more deterred
you can be from actually moving again.
So I am making myself a bit uncomfortable again to keep myself focused.
I am slowly adjusting to working away from home again, and
although it has its challenges I do feel like I am getting a lot done, and I
like that I have a definite time that I finish work each day, which is
something I haven’t had for the last two years.
I am definitely sleeping like a baby each night at the moment.
I had a mixed weekend with a trip to London on Saturday for
a girlie lunch and then a quiet Sunday where I got some home bits done. I am definitely finding it a bit different
living somewhere that is quite cut off from shops etc., so I am going to try
and make sure that I spend time at the weekends with friends that live in
London to ensure that I don’t just stay in a lot because it’s too much effort
to go out anywhere locally.
Now that all the craziness of moving is over I am slowly
starting to get back into catching up with TV shows again. I am really loving Eastenders at the moment
and I am long overdue a catch up on season 2 of Empire. I also really want to check out Scream Queens
as I have heard great things about that show.
I am trying really hard to push myself with reading this week and I have
started reading Beauty by Louise Mensch.
I am really enjoying it so far, it’s just the challenge of finding time
to read it especially when you are writing your own book!
Thanks for reading, catch up with you again soon xxx
