Not My Best Year, thus far.

I think it is important that I get back into blogging as it will give me the opportunity the let thing out and put my thoughts out there into the magical interwebz world, and who knows, perhaps it will be beneficial.  So I haven't done any blogging since back in September and I think there are a few reasons for that, mainly I got busy with a new job, and got very down about my life, and why blog if you feel as though you have nothing to share....

So what was missed in the last few months of 2013?
 Firstly, I got the Job at Ambius as a plant care specialist, and in time I have learned that it is in no way a job for me, it is boring and could be done by a monkey, but the pay is decent so I am trying to stick it out.  The rest of 2013 wasn't exciting, I spent it working Monday-Friday and not doing much else aside from working, I didnt really see anyone and ended up getting quite sick the week before Christmas.  And I guess the last part of 2013 was New Years Eve, which was quite possibly the most depressing New Years Eve I have had in my 22 years of life.....
I was hoping that I would not be abandoned on New Years, but sadly it happened...I had bought a really pretty new red dress with the intention of wearing it for new years, and I did put it on and I got dressed up and took a few shameless mirror selfies....and then I sat on the couch in my dress, eventually got cold and put my bathrobe on over the dress and moped on the couch with my Dad, eventually I gave up on even attempting to celebrate the New Year and Crawled into bed at about 10pm.  I spent my New years essentially alone in my bed, the fireworks at midnight let me know that the New Year had begun.
Why was I alone on New Years? I suppose it has to do with the fact that my friends have other friends, and jobs and significant others and I guess in all that some people get forgotten and I guess this New Years I was one of the forgotten people.....

So now it's the New Year and what can I say about 2014 so far.
I can say that I entered they year alone, and mildly depressed and things haven't really improved.  I picked up a weekend job so I would have something to force me out of bed on the weekends.  It's a job as a "Pet Detective" for Blue Buffalo pet food.  Essentially I hang out in a pet store in Surrey and talk to people about their pets and such.  I like the fact that at least I get to have some type of social interaction at my second job.
I can say that my mom left for Jamaica with Mike a little over a week ago so I am watching her house, cat and dog.  This has resulted in me spending more time alone as I am alone with only pets in my mom's house.
I can say that Tuesday Mornings seem to hate me.  Last Tuesday I fell down the stairs and this Tuesday I burnt the crap out of my hand...bad things happen in threes so I wonder what will happen next Tuesday......
I can say that I have gone from mildly depressed to quite depressed, it even reached a point where yesterday when I was at the doctor for my hand, I brought the issue up with my Doctor, and she made some recomendations:
    1. Exercise, at least 15 minutes a day
    2. Make plans with friends, at least two little plans a week
    3. Set Goals
    4. Take Omega-3's
    5. Talk to someone
So far I am taking Omega 3's, I have been walking my moms dog three times at day, and yesterday Kristy came over for Dinner, so I suppose I am making progress, but I am still not feeling awesome, I am still down...
I can say that due to the burns on my hand today is my second day not working and I am actually enjoying the break, my hand is feeling better but I don't know if I'm ready to lug watering cans with it yet...only time will tell.

I will try to keep better track of 2014, and hopefully things will begin to look up....
