It feels like it has been forever since I wrote a blog entry, so thought I would take some time in the wee small hours to get something written.  I have to be honest, things are good, I have nothing to complain about, all is going well. Health is good, mental health is good, weight is coming off, teeth are settling in, and so on.

I am still loving work so much, and as I get more confident, I am just enjoying it even more. I really feel a part of something special (which it really is), and get so much satisfaction from doing my job it is incredible. What’s not to love? Good people, great work place, and so so interesting and rewarding. Do I sound like a bit of a kiss up now? Haha.

Soooo, what else is going on. Well, the sun has finally shown its face, so cycling is back on the cards. Not that I have ever been a fair weather cyclist (til recently) but having not ridden through the winter this year, the acclimatisation to the cold has been missed, so it has been undesirable to get out there. But that has all changed now, and I am back clocking up the miles and slowly finding my fitness again. 

Speaking of fitness, I have dropped some weight and feel so much more comfortable now, every time I gain weight I get mad at myself and frustrated that I have done it again. But this time…. THIS time… Hopefully I can keep most of it off for longer, and maybe continue to lose a bit more, lets see. I am also trying to do some running to mix things up, and anything else I can to be flexible and healthy.

Oh, one thing of note, I thought of something in the end… A couple of years ago you may recall, while I was having my CBT, I was referred by my GP for ASD assessment. Well, that appeared to be the case, but during a recent conversation with my GP about another matter I enquired about the progress of the referral, having been two years. Much to my surprise (not) the GP said he could find no record of the referral having ever been made. A follow up to this from the practise confirmed the referral had never been submitted, but it had been put on now, and I should hear back shortly.

During my chat with the GP I said that if the referral was NOT already underway, then I was happy for it not to happen now, as things have changed for the better, and I no longer feel the desperate need to understand what is happening with me. Of course with any mental low that can all change quickly, so if it does still happen, I won’t be mad. However I appreciate the incredible load on the system these days.

I can’t really think of much more to say right now, other than I have some assessments for work coming up soon, and then my probation validations, which will hopefully go OK. Oh and that I am still really torn about booking a summer holiday… Mustn’t grumble eh.
