Life Update; Why I've been MIA.

I have been gone a good while now and most of you are probably wondering where I've been hiding!! The truth is, I haven't been hiding, I've been moving house!!

 

We packed up and moved 2 miles down the road into the next village on 29th April and I've vowed never to move house again except to move out of my stepdad's house (this house). Stressful times is an understatement.

 

Because we've moved into a new build, we're not wired up to get any form of Internet connection!! Fingers crossed it won't be too much longer (I'm currently posting using my phones data!!).

I thought I'd go insane without Internet access however apart from not being able to change address and sort bills online, it's been pretty damn zen feeling. You Internet addicts should give it a go sometime!!

 

The house...is just a house. It's an odd feeling moving. I love the house, but even after all this time, it doesn't feel like home. I'm sure once all of the rooms are decorated and all of the boxes are unpacked it will feel a little more like home, but for now, it's just a building.

 

 

 

So asides from the house move, what else have I been up to?

 

I'm still working as a Radiology Assistant. It's still not great being there. As much as I want my employers to understand my condition, I know they never will. The work world doesn't appreciate employees who have to take time off due to long term illness. I'm determined to be out of that place by this time next year whether that be due to university (my next bit of news) or finding another job.

 

I got a uni place!! Providing I can find funding, I will be starting my Foundation Degree in Fashion and Costume design this September!!

I very quickly realised that hospitals are no place for creative people to spend the majority of their lives when it comes to work. Design has always been a big thing in my life bit at 18 I didn't know which field to head towards. I'm now confident that I want to design costumes for theatre/film and alternative sort of fashion garments.

Super stoked about my future so keep fingers (and toes) crossed that I can find funding!!

 

 

 

I've met somebody. Okay so I dated him 6/7 years ago so technically I haven't just met him. But I'm happy and the 6 years apart did us the world of good.

 

Which leads me onto my next bit of news. We're going to Florida in August!! This will be my first proper holiday abroad without any of my parents!! Scary times.
I'm pretty sure my anxiety is going to have a field day, but it's my favourite place on earth and I need to learn to do things without the comfort blanket of my parents.
August is the very end of peak time so I'm hoping the parks will be a tad quieter than when I've been in July.
I'm fortunate to be going with somebody who understands my condition and will support me through my rocky moments.
