employed week 1

 so  10 weeks of unemployment.

I've been ill, depressed under medical supervision, on anti depressants and on watch for suicidal thoughts.

My CV went to 5 jobs and I got 5 interviews and 1 offer.   Techncally I started this week, but due to tech issues, I start after Easter next Tuesday.  I started today stomach churning and fearful, but after an hours indeuction and overview of the training course I feel fine.

Lets repeat that, I feel fine.  OK I'm being paid to sit on my arse without using holiday days, but I feel fine.  I don't know when I last felt like this.  I've been depressed, tired, worried, scraping by, manic, drunk.

Today, I did my induction session, did some more sorting out of the flat, talked to two friends, read, went accross Sheffield to buy fish and chips.

I have my l9fe in SHEFFILED COMING SLOWLY TOGETHER. I see bits of the future I certainly see this summer.and no holidays until after 11 weeks of training, but hey.  I'm content bordering on happy.  This is what I've aimed for and planned for.  I intend to enjoy every damn day I can.
