Hi folks, another short-ish blog this week as not much to report.
Still lacking in the sleep department, although did have about 5 hours on Tuesday night and my legs weren't too bad last night after a bit of dancing around the house, leg stretches as instructed by the hubby and a soak in the bath before bed. I didn't sleep much for a different reason last night though and that's this rash that I have had the past few days - it seems to come and go but last night was rife, which led to crazy scratching for a majority of the night! I thought it may have been some kind of heat rash, although despite this fab humid weather I haven't felt too hot so not really sure. I've seen the doctor about it to be on the safe side and it's pregnancy related apparently so I've got some cream and antihistamine to take and also have got to go back for further blood tests for my liver etc as my haemoglobin levels are a bit low, although I'm sure nothing to worry about. I think I've passed the stage where I notice much bump growth now, so am replying on other peoples comments (yes even after last weeks rant!) and looking back at the weekly photos to check on the progress. She is certainly super active as usual, which always makes me smile. It just brings it home that there's a little person in there and all this suffering is microscopic in terms of how amazing it will be once she's here with us. As every Mum always says, it will be worth it and I'm totally with them on that. Can't wait!
Work has been pretty fun this week, getting to grips with working for our new creative client who is already super impressed with what we've achieved for him. Plus the work phone has been ringing off the hook over the last few days with enquiries for social media campaign management, proof reading and copywriting work as well as other businesses wanting to link up in some way. There has been a massive boost of followers on my business Twitter account @visionodyssey and lots of contact from people and companies on LinkedIn and Facebook too, so it's all certainly heading in the right direction. I believe that keeping positive and confident about what we're doing will bring us success and it's certainly not failing me yet! Who ever is listening to my wishes and dreams please keep it coming, as I'm ever so grateful! ;-)
Do you have dreams / goals / wishes?? I really hope so and if you do, do you write them down? For almost the last ten years I've been writing down my goals and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that every single one of them so far has been achieved, not always by the target dates but not usually far off. So, it's fair to say that I'm someone who gets what I want! I don't mean to sound arrogant by that, I just know what I want out of life and that only I am the one responsible to get it, whether it be material things or happiness it's all down to me. I also want you to know that YOU can have whatever you want too if you put your mind to it. If you haven't written goals down before, give it a go . . . just grab a bit of paper and a pen and list 10 things that you want (this can be absolutely anything, however big or small for example a new TV, a qualification of some kind or something as simple as to make someone smile everyday) and then beside each goal write down a date that you want to achieve this thing by or how often you want to achieve it. If you don't make goals measurable in some way like this then you will probably find that it's something you'll always aim for 'tomorrow' and we all know that 'tomorrow never comes' in this scenario, don't we! If any of you want help with your goals just let me know and I'll be happy to be a sounding ear for you. Equally if any of you want to share some of your goals with me and my readers then please do, as you'll be even more likely to achieve them if you tell people what it is you're aiming to do!
That's it for this week folks, as I've got a busy weekend planned (which starts today - Friday) with our friends Melissa and Kevs wedding in Reading, my Dad's birthday BBQ on Saturday in Herts and then after heading home that evening the next day we're off to Suffolk on our holiday for a week, which we're really looking forward to! I'll be doing a bit of work whilst I'm there but am going to try and force myself to chill a bit too, after all it might be a while until we get to do that again soon!! ;-)
Have a lovely weekend and look forward to hearing from you about your goals . . .
