Once again I’m not well. It’s not been a good few months as far as illness goes. I left work early today because I was feeling really tired and cold. People have been coming to work ill for the last few weeks so I’m not surprised it’s going around the office.

On a more positive note I’ve not had much time to sit down and write for the last week or so because I’ve started seeing someone. I met Janine on Facebook but we went to school together not that we knew one another really well back then but we just got talking on Facebook and it went from there. It’s going really well. There are a lot of new changes to adapt to. She has two kids from a previous relationship  and so things are a little less straight forward than I’m used to. I’m looking to the future but I’ve got a lot to learn. She’s a brilliant mum and the kids have taken to me pretty well. We’ve spent most of the last two weekends together and were very happy when we are together. I’ve had to start giving some thought to the future. It’s going to be a big change for me and there will be a lot I’ve got to sacrifice. I really think this is going to work out and I really don’t mind giving up the way of life I’ve become used to. I can’t wait to feel better so I can get back to Janine and the kids.

Time to get back to bed. I don’t know if I’ll be back at work tomorrow but I’ll see how I feel in the morning
