With five minutes to go - I took the car!

So, hands up, I've failed in my challenge - yesterday I went by car to meet my friend. The problem I have is that as a working mum with health issues for myself and my husband, I'm very time poor. We all know the challenges of parenting, rushing from one club to another, to get the shopping, clean up etc. 

But I am also trying to fit in a life - to see friends, have hobbies and visit my dad. None of these things are easily done when you're waiting for a bus. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to persevere and try again, but I only had 5 minutes to get there so I needed the car.

The main aim of my experiment is to learn to plan more so that I can use public transport, and then we will go down to one car and share an electric.

But sadly so far the Westlink service hasn't been available at the right time for me to use it. But I will keep trying!

New me

 Well, what to talk about today? I just want to share that I feel truly blessed as I now have not one, but two fantastic jobs! So I've hung up my freelance hat for now, but don't worry I will be back! Maybe in a couple of years or so, I'll just see how things pan out. So I'm working in the public sector in two jobs about healthcare.  I'm still navigating my mental health at work and still have very bad days, but slowly I'm starting to rebuild my career and with it my confidence. I can do this!

Going under

In just under 3 weeks I go under the knife to try and tackle my mood disorder. Sound strange? We think I have PME, so my mental health is being attacked by my menstrual cycle.  I'm having a hysterectomy and I'm so hoping it works. For the last 5 years I've been so unwell very regularly and it's had a huge impact on my family. I'm so grateful to them for sticking by me all this time as it's been hellish and I've lost friends along the way. So here's hoping things improve...I'm doing this for my family. And when I'm well, life is amazing so here's to more of that!
