I had a wonderful holiday in Myanmar - more about this on my separate blog.
I've also had my last day in the office which was the day after I returned from my holiday. I was so unwell I had to drag myself up and it took twice as long to get dressed and out. I hadn't eaten much the day before and didn't fancy anything as the travelling had really upset my digestive system :-(
So I was a little bit in a trance in my last day in. They did a coffee and cake do for three of us leaving.,we each had a cake to cut and take home with us which was lovely. One of the senior leaders did a little talk for each of us. I managed to keep my emotions in check but did shed a tear as I drove off site. It was probably just as well that I was unwell and in a trance like state otherwise I probably would have been in floods of tears - or maybe not and it was absolutely the right decision?
I was disappointed that the three recordings of my new radio show had not been played whilst I was away - I put all that time in to prep and record the shows - apparently it was a technical issue and they wouldn't play :-( of course my lack of confidence in me made me think the producer didn't want to play them......
Anyhow I recorded a Christmas Eve show which went out. I had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the girls and their boyfriends. I went as I have done for the last couple of years to see my friends partner play with his boys at a pub for the evening. They were wonderful as usual but the pub which was different and further away lacked the atmosphere of the other one.
Christmas Day was spent with just my daughters so was much quieter. Their dad came over for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I still find it hard to talk to him, I think as I don't want him to discuss anything we talk about with HER.
I was fortunate to get lovely Christmas presents but what I enjoy more is seeing others opening and enjoying their presents :-)
Boxing Day was the saddest I think I have ever had. I was pretty much alone day and really didn't know what to do apart from eating rubbish - the diet starts again next week! I feel rough but when the food is there it is so hard not to eat it which is why I just don't buy it normally.
I am planning to sign up to the gym next week. I'll have more time now so thought I'd give it a go - more for the classes etc, but may try the gym to tone up, plus I'm going to get back to my walking :-)
I've cancelled and deleted all accounts with online dating sites - I really can't be bothered with the effort. I am still talking to two guys, but I expect they will fizzle out soon.
Who knows what next year will bring - but I hope it'll be fun stuff that keeps me smiling. The money side of things I'll have to figure out in the first few months and then decide what to do.
