Getting used to a new routine.

Sorry for not being around a lot lately. As you know, I’ve started a new part-time job while I look for occupational therapy ones in Oxfordshire. Despite being part-time, it still manages to exhaust me, but I guess that’s because I work afternoons/evenings, so it just speeds up the tiring process. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean I get to sleep in, as the Flan has to wake up at about 6am every morning. I work every Saturday and every other Sunday, so Thursdays and Fridays are my ‘weekend’. Sadly, these free mornings and odd days off aren’t the case for my friends, so I can’t enjoy my free time with the people I want to spend time with. However, on the plus side, this does give me plenty of productivity time, with exercise (Wii Fit), knitting (just got some new yarn), coding and studying.

Oddly enough, though, I’m about to go get on a bus for my workplace to pick up a few essential colder weather clothes that I ordered. It’ll be interesting being a customer on the other side of the desk.


Day 18: Whoosh.

Hello everyone. I went ice skating today! For free! Because I have an awesome placement that pays for activities like this done with the patients. I was going to go to the gym after work, but I decided the ice skating was enough, as I’m pretty knackered now. Plus, as usual, I have tons of work to do.

For anyone who’s interested, Flan sent me this link earlier today to a video about a free app for iPhones/Pods/Pads and Android phones. It’s called MyVoice and is a new communication aid for anyone with aphasia, autism, etc. I think it looks pretty awesome, but I’d have to look into it further.
