Oh god here comes one of those journals..

Hey friends! Hope you are all well. Unfortunately I am not so well.

My back is absolutely shot. It's been bad for a few months, it started off as just achey, then went to a painful twinge, and now on a bad day I can't get out of bed, I can't sit down properly, can't walk, sleep, can barely use the toilet, and I'm struggling to do my training. I'm hoping to book in for physio this week because it's getting ridiculous, I'm 23 and currently have the mobility of an 85 year old, and I'm in constant pain, doing the smallest things is agony.

On top of that, I've just got a really hectic month. This is the final week of my Dog grooming course (And of course my back goes now, great timing) I've got my driving theory on Wednesday, and my coursework is overdue for the course. So that's 5 days of training, my car theory, and a big fat file full of coursework that goes towards my final grade.

I'm also shamefully behind on two commissions I owe from MONTHS ago, Which is really getting me down because I sort of pride myself on fast turn around times, a few days to a week or so at the most, but I've just not been able to find time at all. I hate making people wait, And I'd hate for anyone to think I'm taking the piss out of them by turning out work so slow.

However! Once this hellish week is over, I will have finished the practical side of my Dog grooming course, and will be free to just do commissions again full time! Which I honestly can't wait for, I love working to my own schedule and being able to produce commissions at a fast pace. I will eventually have to look for a groomers job, but I think I will take a month's break before I do that and just do commissions like I use to.

Anyways, just needed a good whinge really. Thank you also for all your support and kind messages about my Rat passing away! I appreciate them all. Hope you are all well! I'll be properly active again once this awful week is over.
