Big Ideas... Massive Plans

Ok so all systems are go.  In the next week or so I will let you in on the plan as I need to iron out a few details, but for now I'll say that I'm about to enter into a 'no prisoners' venture and if I manage to pull it off my CV will have a whole new fabby angle for my move to the States.

Work was pretty good today, I got a heap done, managed to have a few giggles along the way and the sun was shining.

My shoulder however is the ultimate downside, I swear I'm going to become a painkiller addict at this rate.  It pops out all the time, is really narky 90% of the time, I'm getting no sleep and to subside the aching a little bit I am now on 2 to 4 500mg cocodamol tablets a day.  I can take up to 8 so I'm nowhere near the limit but for someone who doesn't like to take paracetamol I'm like mr sodding soft on them.  I deffo need to double up on the dosage to kill the pain but at the same time doing that will make me about as much use as a chocolate fire-guard.  I've got an appointment tomorrow to go back to the doctors and harass them for a fix rather than sodding pills - I feel they will send me packing with another stretchy elastic 'exercise your shoulder for another 8months' band.  Teraband my arse!

Taking Control

I got no sleep last night, my flat is verging on a bomb site as my shoulder has been so sore I can barely keep on top of the housework and yet somehow... amidst it all, I had some kind of revelation, ass into gear moment early this morning and I have had a great day.

I woke up and decided that when life gets you caught in a rut you can either settle and see where it takes you fighting mildly or you can revamp, change the goal posts and set yourself a new path.  I've decided to go with the new path.  I'll fill you in on the details tomorrow as I'm meeting someone who I think will want to go in the same direction and so we can help each other, until then, lets just say I'm of the belief that if you decide to do something you jump in with both feet, take no prisoners and don't finish until you have success and that is firmly where I intend to go.

I was in such a great mood at work that I had a super productive day also, I got all my admin completed, I managed to write my 6 page 4,000 word prep for my IPR next month and managed to have some pretty successful conversations about moving my role forward also.

Yep, all in all it has been a great day.

Also Herb turned 30 and so I've amused myself with picking on her old age most of the afternoon/evening while working and so that has helped to pass the time.  Still really need to get something awesome for her present and ASAP as I'm jetting down for her b'day this Thursday.
