My Week
I haven't written in almost a week but I've been quite busy and struggling a little. I love doing lots of things but its very difficult for me and its also difficult to do nothing so that's a challenge. I didn't get up to very much over the first few days so I will sum up quickly:
Thursday was very quiet as my partner had an appointment and then we relaxed for the rest of the day.
On Friday, I went out for breakfast with my partner and his mum and brother. It was really lovely and there was fantastic food. Then, yet another appointment for my partner.
Saturday my partners mum cleared out her bedroom and it turns out I had a lot of stuff stored in there from when I first moved here. I have absolutely no recollection of putting anything in there but apparently I must have. It was exhausting but also quite fun going through everything and seeing what I hadn't come across in literally years. I threw away a lot of old clothes which I would love to wear now but unfortunately wouldn't fit anymore. It was fun to remember the good times though. One of the bags of clothes I didn't recognize but as soon as I opened the bag, I could smell my mum. If you didn't know, my mum passed away when I was 9 years old. The only thing I own that still vaguely smells like her is her jewellery box. But then I found these clothes. I'm not sure what to think and they are currently still in the bedroom.
Sunday I accomplished something amazing, I finally finishing my diamond art for my father. I have been working on it for many months but I struggle with motivation and it took a lot longer than I thought it would. But I finally did it. I knew that I would be seeing him on the Monday so I tried my best to get it done and I succeeded. I'm really chuffed and I'm glad he liked it.
Yesterday my partner had a phone interview. I won't go much into it though because that's his own business but things aren't going exactly to plan in that department. I know that he's trying really hard and we will both be in work one day I'm sure, it just make take a little longer than we thought. In happier news however, I went to see the Downton Abbey Film with my stepmum at a gorgeous community centre. I am absolutely obsessed with Downton Abbey. Along with Game of Thrones, it is my favourite series of all time. When I heard they were releasing a film, I had to watch it. I have not spent time alone with my stepmum for years and years. She is an absolutely sensational lady and a true inspiration to me. We had the loveliest time. After that, we met my dad and brother for a delicious meal at a pub nearby and my brother drove me home. I hadn't seen them for a long time so it was wonderful to catch up. It is my stepmums birthday the day after Halloween so we are in the process of planning a Halloween/Birthday Party to celebrate. My dad is rather poorly these days and struggling so I am going to try my best to make more of an effort to see him and see if there's anything I can do to help. I really hope there is.
I've nearly finished rambling, don't worry.
Today after my partners appointment, we headed on over to his dads house for dinner. This is something we do every week but he usually cooks. This time, it was our turn. It is his birthday on Thursday so we decided to cook him a lovely birthday meal. My partner made toad in the hole, mash and peas and then he had a 3 course dessert. My partners brother made homemade chocolate mouse, another family member made the birthday cake and I made maltesers fudge. We did lots of quizes and had lots of fun. I'm really glad he had a great night.
Tomorrow I have planned a date for me and my partner. I have never been taken on a proper date. This is not me getting at him, I promise. But even before him, I was just never asked. I'd love to go on one. So I have planned a night for us tomorrow and he is going to plan the next one. I am having a slightly better patch at the moment and my mental health isn't too bad. I haven't had nightmares for almost a week now and I'm feeling a little better. However, me and my partner have had a few disagreements lately. I think I've said it before but due to us almost being forced together at this point (being stuck in a tiny bedroom), its affecting us. I think we need some space but also to do fun things outside of the house when we are together. So hopefully these dates will help. I will let you know how tomorrow goes.
Not much about mental health I'm afraid but it may be nice to read one with a few updates and something that's a little more uplifting than the usual? I hope so anyway.
I hope you're all having a great week.
