What a week!
Well, I'm at the end of my first full week back in the Elgin area. And WOW! what a week!
My new job is hectic, and that's putting it mildly! I'm really going to have my work cut out for me and I'm not ashamed to admit that on Monday, having left work for a lunch break, I was a complete panicking mess. In all honesty I really didn't want to go back - I sat in the car with my Mum and sobbed, convinced that I'd made a horrible mistake. Thankfully Mum was there to calm me down - usually it's Mike's job but with him being so far away I'm just grateful that I've got such a wonderful Mum to help me through these wobbly moments. I did go back and that afternoon was slightly better. Over the course of this last week I really feel that I've grounded myself in the job. It's very busy, there are long hours (I've worked over 44 this week!) and my boss couldn't organise her way out of a wet paperbag, bless her; but I really feel that I've got the basics to start from. From here on in it'll be a chance to really make the job mine and get to grips with it all.
I'm missing Mike desperately. It's so strange being so far away. I'm missing his cuddles the most... the way he can just wrap his arms around me and make everything feel so much better. Mike isn't much of a talker and he keeps his emotions pretty well wrapped up. But he just has this way of looking at me with those lovely big blue eyes of his and silently telling me that everything is fine. Sounds daft I know - but it's true.
I miss Milo and Smudge too. Strange how used to get to having an animal around. My two babies are as much a part of our wee family as anyone else and I'm missing having them around. I keep wondering what's missing when I wake up and then I suddenly realise it's the weight of Milo lying at the end of the bed that isn't there. Or the sound of Smudge purring.
I'm keeping in touch with Fee by text and through the computer. I'm terrible at phoning mind you - but that'll probably be a relief eh Fee... don't think you're one for blethering away on the phone anyway are you? Thanks for what you said in your blog by the way - oh, and anyone who hasn't checked out Fiona's blog... the link is over there on the right! :o) Missing you like mad honey - but I'll see you next weekend. We can have a good catch up then eh?
Anyway - the week has flown by. Hopefully the other weeks will move along just as quick and I can be with Mike again.
