Its a grey Saturday morning in November and I'm making a start in the world of blogging.
Why? Well i'm sitting here in my pjs, there is rubbish on the floor that needs tidying, the kitchen worksurface is covered in god knows what, the house hasn't been cleaned top-to-bottom in several months (I've done bits and pieces but there must be bits that just haven't been touched), I am extremely overweight (my wii fit makes horrible noises and says I am obese), I eat compulsively, I have had depression twice in the past three years, I get excema and have trouble keeping it under control and generally I get ill or feel low a fair amount of the time.
Generally, i'm pretty unhappy with myself right now, and the stupid thing is I have the capability to get it all sorted out but never do.
Three weeks ago I got shingles. Antivirals got it under control fairly quickly, but I had a week off work stuck on the sofa in a lot of pain, the following week at work I just about got through with lots of painkillers, a very comfy chair and lots of 'sitting down teaching'. This week has been a lot better but I still ache a bit by the end of the day. What it has done is given me a proverbial kick up the backside! Not being able to do anything has reminded me that normally I could be doing a whole lot more and have decided to make a start in getting my life back under my control.
I've said this before and then slipped back into old habits. At the moment i'm scared to tell too many people because they've seen it all before and then it come to nothing. Hence the blog. I will write down my plans, my achievements, and various other ramblings that go on in my head. If you read this, I hope it inspires or at least entertains you. I'd love you to leave me a comment to help encourage me.
