Hi Ho Hi Ho - it is off to work I go!

Back to Work

I have been unemployed or semi-retired for 4 weeks, it has been good but I wanted to do more.

Week One

• I had a friend pass and had the funeral. That week was emotional and spent the latter half curled up on the sofa watching movies. I was technically still working as I was taking it as a holiday.

Week Two

• I started with the lists of lists of lists ..... this was all I seemed to do, did not get many things done on the lists. 

Week Three

• I was asked if I would cover for someone in another department for the full week - that was working more than I normally did. 

Week Four

• I have spent the first half of the week looking after a friend who was in a car accident. Also preparing to go back to work as I was offered a job today.

I guess you can imagine that not a lot of things have been done on all those lists that I made in week two.

Things not done:

• Run away to the beach and read books
• Work on my book, that I have been trying to write for years
• Go through all my photos from my holiday (approximately 7000) and get them printed to hang in the hallway
• Swimming in the morning, this is a great way to start the day but I do find it takes it out of me a bit
• Volunteer at the local radio expanding my skills and learning more about my local community. 
• Do lots of yoga to find inner peace
• Find myself... I am not sure I was lost - just misplaced.

Well, none of that has been done but I can still work on them and try not t lose myself in my work...

I have been doing a photo challenge for the month of October, to take a photo every day and post to Instagram and FB. This has kept my creativity side of me very busy and I have really enjoyed the distraction. I have also started a new # for me which made me very excited #scottishgirlintas - got to love random #'s.

Some of my favourite pictures so far:

Chicken Foot - "The Horror!"

Leo - my dog "Sniff"

"The Wood Pile"

There are some that are not so good but it has been great fun.

Follow-up: I did not eat great the other day, too much Pizza - got to love pizza.
