Current Mood:
There's been a distinct lack of updating from me recently. I put this down to a) being busy and b) being happy :D happyI've long believed LJ to be as good as any therapist for venting my woes and as of late I haven't had many woes to vent. When I have had I've been too busy/tired to vent them lol Things that have been making me happy recently:- 1) Phil - He's been looking after me because I've had a rotten cold. Apparently my body isn't as resilient as it used to be. I swear I've been sick more times this year than in any other year of my life. He's been coming over, despite the high probability of catching it himself, and generally being lovely. Plus he's managed not to even catch the cold! Go figure :P 2) My flat - Even after over a year of living here, I still look around my flat and love being here. It's mine, and even with the stresses it brings of paying bills and keeping a home, I still love it as much as I did the day I moved in. 3) Phil's brother having a girlfriend - YES! IT'S TRUE! He's been seeing this girl Emma for a few months now and I'm meeting her tonight at the fireworks display we're going to. I've no idea what she's like but Dave seems to really like her. I'm so pleased because a) It means Dave is out more so gives me more time with Phil, b) Dave is HAPPY and therefore not miserable by seeing Phil and I together, c) Phil feels less guilty for spending time away from Dave because Dave isn't alone. We're going for a big family meal at their parents house tomorrow so Phil's parents can meet Emma, and I'm going to take some of the pressure off her lol So it'll be me, Phil, Dave, Emma, their Mum and Dad and their Nan. Should be an interesting one. As much as I want Emma to stick around, and I want his family to like her, I still kinda want them to like me more ;) I'm sure that makes me a bad person lol 4) TV - It's sad, but I LOVE Autumn/Fall/Winter TV ;D I've got Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, House (it it ever comes off break), Dexter, Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor and now I'm even into Stargate Universe! I'm kinda strangely attracted to the geeky slightly podgy guy who's the maths nerd! His name escapes me but I feel sorry for him for not getting the girl. He's better than that other guy ;) 5) Work - Not exactly making me happy but not making me miserable either, for the moment. It's much better where I sit now. Having more people to talk to has really taken the pressure off of having to get along with Lou. Now if she's in a mood, I can just ignore her until she's out of it. Surprisingly, she actually seems to be talking to me more now. Weird, but good :D I also talked to my MD yesterday about my bonus scheme not working so hopefully she'll do something about that :D 6) Having a cold - You can tell I'm happy because I'm seeing the good in everything ;) Because I was off sick from work two days this week I got to catch up on Stargate Universe because I'd only seen the first episode and also I got to finish my new book by my favourite author. Things making me sad:- 1) Money - Yeah, I don't have any. Not strictly true as I still have a nice wedge of savings but it looks like I'll have to dip into them to get me out of my overspend from the last couple of months. It's the time of year of massive expenses for me. Car insurance, car tax, MOT, unexpected bill, Christmas and my birthday in a couple of weeks will eat a lot of money in socialising. I am, however, trying to accept the fact that I've done well budgeting up to this point and will just enjoy myself and spend some of my savings. I'm hoping I can replenish them with the money I would spend on council tax when we get our tax break in Feb/March and also if I ever get that private web design job I can make a bit back then. Budgeting = hard. I hope everyone is well, I've neglected reading my friends page as well as updating. My online time now mostly goes to Farmville on facebook. I admit it, I'm addicted. I didn't even want to start playing but Phil started and wanted me to have a farm next to his ;D Look what he's started! | ||
