good through the haze

I’ve been really sick this week. I got a virus that’s had me on bed rest for a week. I haven’t been this unwell in about 10 years.

This really isn’t great when you’ve not even been at your new job a month (it’s a month today). I went in on Thursday and they sent me home straight away. You know you’re sick when people look shocked when they look at you.

But there have been good things this week too. The design business had it’s best month yet. And as it’s end of financial year tomorrow, it’s also had an amazing first full financial year. compared with last year (including the failing bag business) it looks amazing on paper. That’s something I need to stop and be proud of. I made that all myself from my hard work.

Another good thing, is that since I posted that post on Monday all that fear is gone. I don’t know if it was your comments, or just letting it out there in the ether, but I’m ok now. Sometimes just sharing it is what you need to let the worst of it go.

And also (lots of good this week) I reached the 10% mark for saving for the big move O/S and trip across the USA. Little by little I’m getting there. It’s great to have something awesome to work towards, it makes the hard days seem better.

Now I have to recover from this nasty flu so I can get to the 20% mark!

Hooray for little victories! How was your week?

Oh how awful! Sorry to hear you’ve been sick but it sounds like things are going pretty nicely otherwise. Congrats on inching closer and closer to the big goal!

Poo to the flu! Sending you healing vibes!

CONGRATS on the milestones. Enjoy them – you earned them!

I’m so glad you’re feeling better about the 27 thing. I agree, sometimes just putting it out there is the magic cure. I’m sure it won’t be gone totally, but at least now you know you’re not alone and that people will have your back.

You rock!

  Thanks Ange!!
  
  I’m feeling so much better about it, I wish I’d realised earlier that it would make things better. At least I’m sleeping a bit better.
  
  It’s awesome to know that I have people like you who have my back. I feel much safer.
  
  I hope you, hubby and Sam are doing ok with your colds and are much better very soon.
