Hi all, been a while, uneventful time until this week, it's like buses, none for ages and all come at once!!
I haven't been feeling well for a while now, physically and mentally a mess, so finally went to the dr who did bloods and X-rays, turns out my thyroid is out of whack (didn't get the numbers but will do) so my meds have been doubled for 3 days a week and normal dose on the rest, feeling better already but know it takes a while for it to adjust.
The past few weeks at work have been hard going - not helped by me being extremely fatigued and mentally exhausted, I know now that my thyroid has a lot to do with it, but it's also not the best job in the world. Anywhoo, on Tuesday I resigned, I have saved well and can survive, my manager was shocked and sad about my decision, later that day he came to me, he had spoken to the owners and they wanted to offer me a new position with a pay rise (it put me on more than the duty managers!) I thought about it over night and decided that the role really wasn't what I wanted so shocked them all again by saying thank you but no. Today they came back to me asking me to train my replacement who starts tomorrow and would I consider staying on until mid Jan running a team in the stockroom for the higher pay rate, giving them time to find something else for me .......ur, yep I will, easier job for more money, thank you kindly haha.
Then this evening h rang me out of the blue. He has not rang me for 2 yrs, has always been occasional emails, he spoke to me for longer than he did at the wedding (which was about 10mins!). He started off about s21 and his latest idiotic plan and did I know about it and were we on the same page how to procede. I listened to him, said a few things but generally let him talk as i don't think he actually wanted my opinion, especially if it is opposite to his. He then asked how I am and how work is going - so I told him about work and how I just negotiated a pay rise and I am doing ok. I asked him how he is; he said good, his job is great and he told me about it, life is good, busy and always doing something, ugh lol I said "that's good" and 35mins later he said he had to go as he was giving a driving lesson to a friends daughter (he is a qualified driving instructor and saved many a parent/child relationship lol)
The most odd conversation. He could have written it in an email or really not at all, we haven't really co parented for a very long time. He chatted to me like we talk all the time, free and easy, most bizarre lol. Why is it that just when you let go of them and start to move on with life and they are not so much in your thoughts do they reappear and for the oddest of reasons. Bizarre.
Spoke to s21 about the issue, but made sure I did not mention his dad had just spoken to me about it, s21 mentioned that his dad is a bit up and down on him, but thinks it's because his dad is no longer seeing ow2 that it's over so all his attention is on s21 and not anyone else at the moment ..... Until the next one comes along ......
So that's really been it for the life of Lou, just doing my thing and plodding along, no real plans just seeing what comes my way and make decisions as and when I need to.
