doors
Today was one of those days I know i'll want to remember;
I haven't written anything about any of this because of a little voice in my head telling me not to jinx it, but recently my manager at Kurt Geiger has been talking about making me a supervisor. For weeks and weeks it's been playing on my mind that i could either be living in Birmingham and working for KG, or in London studying.
Nearing the end of those few weeks i realised it was a win win situation and i'm lucky to have such opportunities! I'd be lying if I said Carl wasn't a factor in this at all, but he's certainly not the reason I'd stay. I'm just so happy to find a company that appreciates what i do, recognises when i achieve something and has such lovely people working for them. And if I went i'd be at the heart of it all, in one of my favourite cities and it would most certainly be an experience.
So today I was called in to the office and told that the area manager, Liz, came yesterday and my manager, told her that if i couldn't get the supervisor position I would have to leave- to which she apparently responded by saying she can see what i've done in the shop, she has big plans for me and she'll do what it takes to keep me in the company.
None of it has really sunk in yet, and to be honest i'm still a little scared of jinxing this before i've signed my contract on Monday, but it looks like i'm staying and i'm very very happy!

weakness
Today Mum went in to hospital for a really minor operation. She'll be there for a week, and then will need looking after for a month or so.
I don't know whether it's because i'm the younger daughter or just how I am about blood and stuff, but everyone was pretty reluctant for me to go. I even think Mum told Carl to 'look after me' after i'd been to visit her, which at first I found a little patronising.
However, now that i've actually been to see her, i realise i've never seen her so vulnerable or in pain. With the exception of the occasional headache my mum is normally on top form, so i guess today was a little weird.
The silver lining is that Carl and I have the house to ourselves for a week! AND he finally got his passport back so Venice here we come :). It feels like there's a lot going on right now, so this post is a bit of a mess but there's a few other things that have happened;
It was my last day at Punky Fish on Wednesday (22nd)- I feel the biggest sense of relief to be rid of that place and those people!
I also haven't really been to Leicester for a month and I think it's starting to get to me a little- I'm missing Sandy, Molly, and Elliott a lot.
Anyway, i'll polish this later!

good fortune
That's where it gets you- thinking you have a choice.
Love finds you, you don't find love.
