Waiting for a call from the National Careers Service for help starting a new life in Consumer Advocacy. 33 years and I finally have an aspiration worth a damn. Currently, I'm working menial jobs as physio therepy to help me recover from a traffic accident some years ago. It allows me to stick headphones in and widen my knowledge base via audio books and headphones (just finished History of Rome, 10 out of 10, have already forgotten the beginning so will go again) while getting an enforced light workout.
But, I'm done with that now... Maybe not done with that, depending on if I can source on the job training or of I have to go back to school. I'm nervous about committing to a full time position; part time plus homemaking is still a bit of an ask for me, but I usually don't do things till I'm forced to so shrug. Commit and deal with it I guess.
Also, heading out to a tailor to get my trousers fitted for a wedding next week, so that's nice. But also dealing with landlord and letting agent issues so that's not nice. All in all, can't complain.
