Educating Rita

So, Im sitting (or should I say lying) here on my bed, watching 'The Mummy', chatting to friends on msn and on facebook (which is shockingly bad right now) about blogging and how blogs can inspire, heal, enlighten and humour someone. We spoke about what kind of blogs there are and how different people use different tools to start their blog posts ie knitting, photography, technology, religion etc and we agreed that blog's can sometimes get too personal. That sometimes a blog is not the place to be revealing every single thing that is going on in your life right now because lets face it, who wants to know that you've just bought the latest in control pants now eh?
As far as my own blog is concerned, I do not blog often as I do struggle to talk about things out loud and I do struggle with the fact that if I start to talk then I can't stop and I worry that I do get too personal with what I write however, I am going to be starting a new blog within the next few months for a very personal reason and you will get to see why that is when I start (if that all makes abundant sense?) as there has been a very big change in my life recently and its going to take me on a journey that I have travelled before and am not looking forward to travelling there again, so I'm going to blog.
It will get personal, it will be uncomfortable to read at times because it will be honest and it is up to you whether you want to follow it or not however I will say one thing about it, it will be educating....

Happy Star Wars Day...?

Well since today was May the 4th it would be wrong of me not to wish you all a Happy Star Wars day and May the fourth be with you and all and happy revenge of the fifth for tomorrow too!

Today I hurt alot, both physically and mentally.




Yesterday I walked over the Erskine Bridge as part of a sponsored walk to raise funds for those going to Music School this year. Its about 1 Mile long so going over and back again Im guessing, if my maths is correct, was about 2 miles. Doesn't sound like far but when you are extremely unfit and have hip troubles it may as well be the London marathon. However, I and about 20 others or so made it across and back again then celebrated with a well deserved BBQ and game of football. Hurrah!

Today I am in pain. My legs, especially my hips, are sore and very stiff. I look like I need a walking stick when I walk and waddle even more now than previously...oh well.
I also had my regular check up at the Renal Clinic to check up on the old transplant. I appear to be a bit of a mystery to them at the moment. I have no symptoms to suggest why one of my blood levels appears to be too high and I feel absolutely fine however they still want to do a biopsy to see whats going on. Nightmare.

Happy Star Wars day?.....almost.

Watching: Ellen DeGeneres

Here I Go Again...

Well, I'm not going to make any promises this time about blogging as I clearly never stuck to my last one but a friend of mine has started blogging and it has kicked me into thinking I should get back into it.
One thing I will say is that I'm not going to start posting about personal stuff this time as I don't feel a blog is the place to put it, it's my private stuff and thats where it's staying.

Since I last posted:

I moved out of my parents house and moved in with my best friend Lyndsey.
We had a fantastic little house and two kittens and I loved every minute of it.
Unfortunately Lynds had to move up to Aberdeen for study so I moved back home again which is where I still reside.

I also worked in a call center for Scottish Power, AOL and RAC.
I loved AOL and RAC and have plenty of brilliant memories of the banter filled days and also made some brilliant new friends from that.

Currently, I am unemployed.
I am hoping to go to college again after the summer to do Early Education and Childcare with a view to either work in a nursery or as a play therapist in a childrens hospital and also move into a little flat in bowling that I have my eyes on. its prettyful.

I think that will do for now. Rather make sure I had enough to blog at some other point than let it all out in one go haha.
