O hai blog!

It's been much longer than anticipated. I mentioned in the last post I'd just heard back about a job. Well it was all go from there. I started work the week before christmas. I had already booked tickets to see one of my long-standing favourite bands, Sonic Boom Six on a Sunday night. This meant I had to turn up to my first day of work with next to no sleep, which was extremely fun! I also went to see Tim Minchin after my second day; again, no sleep. Things really got exciting on the Friday. I should mention that this was the week when all the crazy snowfall hit the UK and we crumbled under it. I got back to my Nan's house after work to find she'd had a fall in the bedroom. In the end I had to get my Sister to come over and help me lift her (we were due to meet there for a gig anyway) and Mum was on her way home from work. The next thing I knew my Sis was talking to Mum on the phone. It turned out Mummy had to get off the bus a couple of stops away and she'd slipped over in the ice. I decided to head out and find Mum, running (yes, me actually moving faster than a walk!) around the corner to find her in a heap on the ground. Apparently the ambulance was going to take 3 hours! Anyway, to keep this brief Dad came and took Mum to hospital while my sister and I carried on and went to the gig (Madness, who were brilliant). So I ended up spending my second week at work staying at Nan's to look after her and waiting to find out when Mum would be home. Mum eventually came out of hospital at 1am on Christmas eve with her ankle broken on both sides; a pin holding one side and a plate in the other. This left me almost entirely in charge of the Christmas festivities, which I can now say went rather well.
I have pretty much spent the last couple of months juggling the new job with looking after Mummy and Nanny at Nan's house and with keeping things ticking over at home. Needless to say I haven't really had a lot of time to do anything for myself for a while and I haven't really been my usual self.
The good news is that Mummy is on the mend and now I feel like I can breath again. I'm actually managing to spend some more time at home and fitting in social activities again. I booked this week off work for a bit of a catch up (the housework has fallen grossly behind as it seems only I am trained in the art) and so far I haven't done nearly as much as I should. I seem to have accidentally started watching Dollhouse again which is proving distracting. Housework is boring. I must get on and do things though. I need to get focused on relaxing again!
