It is a busy week for me this week, as I recover from stress and get my life back onto the track it needs to be. Going on the walks where I talk to myself has been of huge benefit, even though I look like an idiot when doing it, and this is something I am committed to continue doing when I finally return to work. How I am going to do it is another matter, I think I will have to get p a 5am each morning.

Today, I will be doing alot of reconnecting with friends who I haven't seen for far too long. I am also going to spend time this week firing off my CV to prospective emplyees, I really can't stand my job these days and need to get out for my own sanity.

I have also struck a deal with God, who I hadn't spoken to for about 20 years - if he could get me a dream job, I promise to volunteer as much time as I can to local voluntary work. I have an interview with a charity on Wednesday, hopefully the same day as a job interview. Fingers crossed!

I also had a proper blowout on Saturday night, the first in an entire year, and I do feel the better for it. We were up til 6am on Saturday, talking through the night and becoming more and more slurred with it. Felt dreadful on Sunday, but after 13 hours sleep last night I am feeling right as rain again. I definitely think there is a value to leeting your hair down occassionally, but it is one I have sorely missed.
