As mentioned yesterday, today I ventured into a whole new career direction. Mildly terrified kind of describes how I felt. There wasn't that much to worry about though. Turns out, that I'll be the only one in my neck of the woods doing the work that I'm starting out on, so it's a little bit daunting. The Reason for this, is because the company I'm now working for is a new start up. I just hope that the current economic situation doesn't catch up to them before they can get off the ground, as I hate having to start over yet again.
Today, I was a bit of a lazy toerag and didn't do my walk as I had planned. Tsk, tsk! Tomorrow however, I'll probably end up walking my legs off, as that is part of my new role.
On another note, a former colleague of mine phoned me today to say that her company is now hiring and she wants me on her team, so she's passing my details onto her manager. So I could end up actually finding myself on another career change, sooner than I planned. That might not be a bad thing, as the company she works for is a well established household name, who have been going for decades. Far less chance of them falling over, I'm now just waiting on the call. I'll let you know what's happening there.
Anyhow, until next time, TTFN...

Distances
Today we went for another walk. Boring I know, but it's just a great way of doing exercise that gets us out of the house and burns those calories.
There are people in the world, who claim that no matter what they do, they can't lose weight. I know, I used to be one of them. I used to cut down what I ate, but I also used to cut down on my activity too and I have only just realised this incredible secret, if I INCREASE my activity level, I WILL lose my weight. It's not a revelation to many, I know. However, I used to think that going out and walking along would be boring as all hell, plus, I was always concerned that people would stare, make comments or just generally be nasty and negative. It all sounds like excuses and that's precisely what they were. The recent walks have been wonderful, bracing, due to the colder weather we've had recently, refreshing, because of the burn and, most of all, a great way of spending time with Boney.
The walk today was down a local bay, so we were right next to the sea, as the sun was setting with the wind in our faces, watching the seagulls wheeling about and the dogs running amok of their owners on the promenade. We have a certain walk we do down there. It goes from the parking spaces on the main road, down to a large sea defence and back again. We used to stroll it in the summer, taking about half an hour there and the same back again, today however, we got to the rocks in just under twelve minutes, rested for three minutes, then did the return in under thirteen minutes, so all told, it took us less than one way used to at a stroll. I've just worked that one out as I type this...lol...
Anyroads, on a completely different note, tomorrow, I start a new job. Looking forward to it, but so very nervous. Hope I can do well here.
I'll let you know, one way or the other, tomorrow.
Till then, dear reader, TTFN...

HSG Tomorrow
As I mentioned in the first post, Boney is going for an HSG tomorrow and she has been very nervous about the whole idea. We've asked questions of medical professionals, who have given both her and myself very good reassurances about the whole process. Boney has also been prescribed a decent medication for her nerves (though, as time draws closer, I think I could do with a dose myself...lol...), she took one tonight and is currently away with the fairies, hopefully it'll still be the same tomorrow when she takes the second one.
We've been a little fraught with each other over the past week or so, due in part to nerves and a fear of the unknown (we've no true idea of what to expect tomorrow) but also due to decorating issues too. That's all over and done with now for the time being, so hopefully after tomorrow, the nerves should settle somewhat.
I'll try and get back tomorrow to let you know how everything went...thanks for looking...
