What a surprise – I am once again doing my WW on a Thursday… that’s just how I roll in these here parts. This week I’m changing things up a bit and doing it a bit differently – I’m going to give you some pretty crap things but change them into positives because it’s good for the mind y’know So… on with the wonderfuls!

• I was told at work today that I need to be available to work 5 days a week until my contract is up in October. I’m contracted to work 4 days a week for a reason. I am a student and, therefore, have summer assignments to complete and the odd class to go to. My boss told me we could, “Discuss it nearer the time” which means, “Don’t even think about it.”
  On the positive side… think of the extra £57/$89 per week I will earn, and how much this will benefit me when I have credit cards to pay back and student loans to pay.
• My friend’s aunty died the other day – she was in her mid 30s, very fit, yet died of a heart attack. She leaves behind 2 young children and her husband.
  On the positive side… she came to me first because I’ve been through this kind of shock in the past year and I’m her oldest friend. That made me feel incredibly happy that I could be there for her. And her husband is just an absolute inspiration to the children – obviously he’s grieving but everything he is doing is for their benefit. Honestly, it’s just amazing to see. I wish I’d had his strength a few months back.
• My parents are going away on holiday to Spain next week for 8 days. Yes, I should be happy to have the house to myself but when you’ve got mental health issues, like myself, it’s causes panic. I’m going to be alone in the house, I have to go to bed alone in the dark, and I have to make sure everything is locked and safe. That kind of stuff is enough to make me want to hide away until they get back. A “normal” person would be fine, but I think someone is going to break into the house and kill me – seriously. Like, really seriously. There are a lot of other things going on in my head but I won’t go into it because it’s not good for me, or you, to hear about it.
  On the positive side… My lovely besties are coming for a BBQ and are staying with me for a couple of days so I’ll feel better with them here – we’ll be drinking lots of wine, playing music very loudly, and eating absolute junk for the whole bank holiday weekend. I’m also working full time that week so that’ll take my mind off things too

And that is how you do a WW – I know there are only 3 things there but at the moment I don’t have time to think about anything else. I’m completely swamped with work because it’s one of the busiest weeks for UK universities and I just so happen to work in one of them. So excuse the lack of updates but my day consists of wake up… work… bed. Normal service will resume shortly.
