After Christmas

Christmas was a good time – for the most part. It was lovely spending time with the family and getting presents However I didn’t get any books Aw well, I quickly sorted that out and ordered a couple for myself! The downside of Christmas was the death at work. Katie, one of our favourite residents passed away suddenly in her sleep. We all had a good cry and she will be dearly missed. There was another death yesterday too, it is so sad.

My panic attacks are getting better Yay! My headaches are easing, although still present. Problem now is I feel so depressed a lot of the time. There is no reason for it I know, but that doesn’t make it better. Hiding in bed all the time would be fun but it won’t help, so I’m up, listening to an audiobook and getting on with university work. Going to work later too. Chris is making me walk to the station but the exercise will do me good and it is sunny

Well, must get back to me dissertation proposal. Only 700 words to go Hehe!

Studying

At least, that is what I should be doing! I’m just taking a quick break before I type up more notes. Popped into university this morning, now have my term paper title, just need to research and write it. I do have until about the 12th of January though, so at the moment I’m reading for a reflective essay. Yep, I have a lot to do.
Am on new medication, which seems to be working, yipee! However, it does give me constant headaches, and migraines some days, but I’m trying not to let them bug me. I haven’t had a panic attack in a couple of weeks though, which I am so happy about. I’m still fighting the depression though. Yesterday I was down all day, all I wanted to do was sleep or cuddle. I didn’t get to church or to see Lianne, but we did make it down to the Harbour to see a couple of ships. Problem I am having at the moment is I can’t stop biting my mouth, it is bleeding and hurts but I can’t stop. I don’t even know what is causing me to bite
It’s nearly Christmas! Yay! Just need to wrap my pressies and write the cards!
Work is great I love my job!! Making suppers for the old people is a fairly simple job, the people I work with are lovely and the residents themselves are very nice (well, most of them!). They can be naughty too, which is so funny! I love it! This was definitely a good move for me.
Right, must get back to work.
