Had various episodes of ill health which has put my Roller Derby on hold for now. Mostly chest infections and a bout of tendonitis in my wrist triggered by a fall.
Started taking driving lessons again and passed my Theory Test on the 13th May, so far so good. My instructor has said I am ready to book my test, so long as I have at least 4 more lessons between now and the test date in order to perfect a few bits and pieces, inluding reverse parking into a parking bay. That is a lot harder than you would think, especially when there are no cars beside you to give you and idea where the space actually is.
Anyhoo, looking forward to it and fingers crossed I will pass this time around.
Saw my Psychologist again on Monday. He thinks I have the Rapid Cycle type of Bi Polar. I have been prescribed Zopiclone for my manic phases and he has suggested I have a long hard think about going on to Lithium to balance me out long term. I am not sure what to do about it.
I was in a Manic Phase until this morning when I was floored by a really bad chest infection. I now have to take 8 steroids a day for 5 days and 3 antibiotics a day for 7 days. I swear I rattle when I walk.
I know, it is all very boring in my life right now. I feel I should be doing something else, be someone else, but I don't know what or who.
A bit mixed up right now but trying to muddle through.
If anything happens, I will be sure to let you know. Again, I will promise to try and update a little more often.
Also, Steve is away to London this weekend. If you are free, give me a shout and we can hang out for a bit, yeah?

Pooooooopppppp!
Yeah, that is pretty much all I have been doing since Friday morning.
Morgan was off school because of it, I went to work thinking I was OK but had to be brought home by my manager at about 10am as I was progressively getting worse.
Fine now but, much to my dismay, I have missed my first live bout at Roller Derby. I was so looking forward to watching it, totally gutted. Steve took Morgan along anyway and Lee kept me company.
Sounds like I missed myself but thankfully Marri filled me in with all the gossip! 'Nough said about that for now as we are keeping schtum on what was said.
Aside from that, nothing to report back the now, just going to post random stuff if I can't think of anything decent as I am determined to keep this blog up to date.
Next week :
AGM on Tuesday
Roller Derby on Wednesday
Fear Factory gig on Thursday
I am pretty sure that is all that is happening of any interest. I shall report back on events at the end of the week.
Ta ta for now.
P.S.
Happy Valentines Day x

Zzzzzzz......
I am not just tired, I am completely fooked!
I have not really stopped or had a full nights sleep since Saturday night, just been worried about doing my Roller Derby exam and have had a lot, I mean a lot, of Union stuff to do.
Good news is that I passed the Roller Derby exam and get to graduate to the Wednesday night training with the actual team. Marri was also successful, so all is good!
Still got a floor meeting to do pre AGM, but that will be over and done with by tomorrow lunchtime. I have on going personal cases, but those have just been dealt with and will hopefully be quiet for a wee while, waiting for Capita reports etc.
Also got a huge spot on my chin in time for the floor meeting... Why is it you always get a plook, even if your skin is normally clear, right before you need to speak in public? As if you are not already self conscious enough!
Anyhoo, things should ease off after tomorrow though I will still be really busy with stuff. Next week is my last Tuesday for Roller Derby, Next Saturday is going to be the first bout I will have been to (not competing, of course) so really looking forward to that!
Ta ta for now :)

Yeah, well, hrummph...
Yeah, it is 2010 and the last time I thought to Blog was July 2009. So much for me trying to write every week.
Not a lot really been happening. Kids are healthy, Steve is fine as am I. We have two new additions to the family, Egon and Ray our fuzzy wee (not so wee now) kittens!
I have started a new sport which I have fallen in love with! Roller Derby. It Rocks!
My written exam is on Tuesday the 2nd Feb and the practical is over 2 practices, the 2nd and the 9th Feb. Fingers crossed I will pass both and move on to Wednesday night practice!
I am under no doubt that I won't be updating my blog until the 2nd when I know if I have passed or failed the written exam.
Anyhoo, I am sure I have other stuff I should be doing right now so, bye for now!
Fingers crossed for Tuesday :)

"Been a while..."
Yeah.
So nothing much has been going on recently for me. Two of my frends have passed their driving tests, congrats to them! My weight has been hovering beween 10 and 10.5 stone so will be hitting the Atkins diet again this weeks.
Kids are going to Spain on holiday with the inlaws. This will give me time to get the house squared up before we have to move out and give me some time to myself, for a change.
Only things to look farward to at the moment is a few pub trips and a trip to Dundee to see my friend Siobhan who I have not seen in proper ages. Really looking forward to the break!
Steve was meant to be going to London that weekend to go to some con, but don't know if he is going or not now. I would prefer it if he did, at least that way he is getting to do something he enjoys while I am away.
Only other thing I have on this month is my wee cousins wedding. Hoping to be at target weight for that so I don't feel like a fat pig in my dress. Going to include more exercise whilst on the diet this time, hoping for a bit more waist definition as have not lost many inches even though my weightloss to date has been close to 2 stone. That and my thighs are still huge!
More updates during the week.

Going to that place again.
I am sinking again. Have spent all day lying on the sofa, occasionally crying for no reason, screaming at the kids for fighting and wreaking the place.
I don't want to go back on any pills, though I promised the doctor I would, if I got like this again. Don't want to do anything except sleep. I need to get myself picked up and shook down. I can't go on like this anymore. I am making things difficult for everyone around me. My moods are effecting the kid, I think this is one of the reasons why the misbehave so badly just now. I can't afford to take anymore time off work, it is probably for the best, I think it would make me worse if I was just kicking about the house.
I need to isolate what is causing the problem or aggravating it and remove it. It is the only way now, I will just get worse and worse until I do something stupid. It needs to be dealt with, now.
I can't live like this anymore. This is not living.

President, Conference, Comrades,
Unfortunately suffering from post conference blues. Kind of like the downer you get after coming home from a nice holiday. Meh.
Anyhoo, had a fab time down in Brighton. I got to move a motion at Group (my first time!) after getting it top of the agenda of the guillotined section. The section before my motions section over ran, so mine never got heard when it should have. Due to my amazing powers of persuation (and my talent for convincing the SOC that my motion was far more important than any others which didn't get heard because of the guillotine falling!) I finally got to move the motion (insert poop joke here). It was carried unanamously. Dead proud of myself, and boy, what an adrenaline rush!
Went to several Socials during the week including the Left Unity Social, the GWAC Social, The Scottish Social and the National Conference Social. I managed (god knows how) to win second prize at the GWAC talent show by singing an acapela version of Bohemian Rapsody (with air guitar and piano and some head bangging!) with one of the GEC peeps! You really needed to have been there :)
Got to hang out with my friend Hamish from Dundee, has been ages since I saw him last so it was really nice. We had a superb time at the Scottish night, lots of rowdy sing songs of old TU stuff, The Fields of Athenry, Avanti Popolo, Jarama Vally and various other great songs. The only down side was the hotel was charging £9.50 for two pints of beer, yes, just two pints!
National was good too. Mark Serwotka did some very good speaches on behalf of the NEC as well as a rousing speach of his own. Sir John O'Donnal was highly entertaining yet again, slagging off the MPs and their expenses claim. Floating duck? I still have not got a clue!
Anyway, feeling a bit sad and lonely tonight. Post conference blues, kids acting up, mum bitching, Steve being in London and general unsettledness in myself. My life feels wrong. Not sure how to sort it out since I don't know what is wrong with it or in it, or perhaps, missing from it. I have an appointment with the psychiatrist next Thursday, so I might figure it out then. Not much point dwelling on it just now anyway.
Actually lost weight at conference. Down to 10st 2lbs. Nearly there, going to try really hard to get the last 10-12lbs off. I figure I can do it in 4 weeks if I can behave myself with carbs.
Anyhoo, Kat Fletcher, Battlestar East Kilbride signing off.
