Hold on

I am rubbish at keeping up to date with writing blogs, I don't know why but I am falling out of the routine of writing something on here at least once a week but I hope to change that.

Well I am sat here now with lots of paperwork that needs going on a Excel spreadsheet so you could say work is getting busy here. Well it is, so much so that my dad is quitting his full time job on Friday and working full time with me. I don't know how I am going to cope with my dad being home a lot more now, it can possibly drive me round the bend because I like my space and I like to do what I want when I want and of course with him here I will have to adapt more of a proper routine.
We just have piles and piles of work to do and have more and more new clients which of course is a good thing. It's what my dad wanted so he could just do accountancy work full time. It's good, I'm earning more than I would do in a normal job and there are more benefits to it except I don't get holiday pay but I can't moan because I take time off when I want and get paid probably four times what I would in a normal 9-5 job but I am bloody good and quick at what I do.

I am meant to be finishing off my two ten point courses in the next couple of weeks and haven't done much on them so I need to get my act together because they are due in, in 5 weeks time but I have to have them finished before then because I am off to Amsterdam and when I get back Pete is coming up so there will be no time for finishing them so I hope to have them done in the next couple of weeks.
I am then starting a creative writing course which is a hard course according to what I've heard about it but it sounds interesting and I want to try something new and different and that is perfect for me, well I hope it is.

Been spending less time at the computer lately, well on the internet, and it's a really good thing. I am getting bored with countless hours on the internet wasting my time looking at the same things over and over again and with doing mainly computer work for my job I don't want to sit at the computer all evening. It just gets boring and I am sick of the all internet thing, my last 3 years it's been spent around the internet and I've had a good time and met some really good friends but I don't really enjoy the internet like I did. I guess I am just bored of it and wasting my time when I know there is a lot more to life than sitting at a computer. Yeah I like email and certain sites but I don't need to spend much time online to enjoy them. It's fun and it's a useful tool so I could never see my life without the internet but since starting running I've found that there is great things outside of the cyber world that I've been locked away from because of my internet addiction and where I was never as bad as some I have spent way too much of my life on the internet and it's time to enjoy things outside of the internet.
When I do go running I am way too tired to come on here anyway, I'm normally tired and in need of a shower and then spend a couple of hours watching a DVD. Before I'd skip the running and go on MSN but I am just bored with that. I want something new and exciting and there is only so much you can do on the net.

My house looks so different, well in this room, since we had a big move around and got rid of some stuff. It looks nice in here and how I pictured it to be in my head. I knew how I wanted it and imagined it to look how it does so when the room got moved around and new things got moved in here I was shocked how good it looked. I can't post a picture yet as it's a total mess in here but once I have tided it up and finished sorting it I will be posting some pictures as it does look pretty amazing in here now.

Passport!! Do I want one? Hell yeah but OMG you won't believe the trouble I am going through trying to get one. First of all I sent it off about three weeks ago now. Three days after I sent it they cashed my cheque and about three days after that I got a letter saying I'd forgotten to send my birth certificate. OMG!! So off I go in search of my birthday certificate, which I can't remember seeing since last year, in three places where it was most likely to be and I couldn't find it and I knew it wouldn't be anywhere else in the house. So after the weekend I had to go and get another one. I got the full one rather than the short one which everyone gets because the one I lost was the full one, I used to have two because when I was born my dad got me the short and long one. I burnt my short one in a teenage angst moment when I was 15 and had always kept the long one and have used it heaps of times over the years. It cost £7 for a new one which was cheap. I then went to the post office and sent it recorded delivery. Four days later I get another letter back saying that they can't see my eyes properly on the pictures (WTF?!!) and I needed to send another set. I then looked at the spare two I had and I could see my eyes clearly so they are clearly blind. So I went and had some taken yesterday and you can see my eyes very clearly in the pictures but OMG!! I don't like how I look in the pictures. The last set I had took I didn't either but in hind sight they look a lot better than the ones I had taken yesterday. Tomorrow I must send the pictures off, there is less than a month to go now so I won't be pleased if there is something else wrong with the application. I wish they would just tell me all the wrong things at once instead of wasting as much time as they possibly could.

Last Friday, not the one just got but the one before, I started to get toothache. It wasn't too bad but it was a pain that came on and off a couple of times during the day for around 5-10 minutes a time and each time it would be a lot more painful. Over the weekend it came and went a lot more and on the Monday it was a lot worse and I was so stressed out with the pain, it was agony and it was coming more and more and I was woken up during the night with it so many times that I barely slept. Tuesday was the worst day for me, it was just too painful and was hurting every 15 minutes for around 5 agonizing minutes and I felt like pulling all my teeth out. When it was throbbing I couldn't talk or do anything. It was taking over my life and being in so much pain wasn't a nice thing, it felt like someone was stabbing me in my gums over and over and over again. I got a appointment via NHS Direct for 3:15pm the next day and by 2am the pain had gone but I was going to go anyway because I didn't want it to come back.
I went to the dentist and he couldn't find which tooth was causing the pain because my gums were so inflamed so he prescribed a antibiotic and told me to use a mouthwash and if the pain comes back to ring NHS Direct again.
I gave my prescription to my dad who was going to pick it up from Boots on his way back from an appointment because they are open until midnight for prescriptions. He went to pick it up but they wouldn't let him have it because the dentist hadn't stamped it. So he went back to get it stamped and they were closed so he went back the next day and they were shut for lunch so he ha to wait. I eventually got them around 3pm that afternoon and took one straight away. By then I was getting some toothache but it wasn't too bad but carried on for a couple of days. Since yesterday I haven't had any pain so the antibiotics are working but I only have until Tuesday morning until they run out so I hope it doesn't return. The dentists and the prescription came to around £30 which I guess isn't too bad.

I should be out running very soon, the weather has been crappy on and off all day but it looks nice outside now so hopefully I will be going out sometime in the next hour for a run. It will be my third of the week. I want yesterday morning although I was shattered after staying on MSN later than planned. I struggled with my run and when I did get going Lucky would either get distracted and pull me off one way or he'd walk into me and knock me off my pace and I'd have to stop. I did around an hours run/walk and walked a lot more than I normally do but I did get some done.
I am looking forward to getting out there today, it will be nice. I've been in here all day so the fresh alone will be nice. I don't know how much I am going to do yet but at least an hour, I'd love to do around 90 minutes but I will have to see how things go. I know I need to strap both legs up as they are a little sore and strapping them up will enable me to run longer.
I finally got a Blackburn Road Runners long sleeve top and have worn it twice now, I really like it. It's a nice length and it's probably my favourite item of running clothing I own.
I got another pair of running trainers also, identical to the ones I have but a different colourway, they are nice and I've worn them twice. I like the brand and style and fit so I am going to stick with these ones and probably get another pair soon.

Anyway I think it's time for something to eat seen as I need some strength for my running. I shall try and update once a week from now on.
