Yoink! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In a nutshell, life has changed again... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was made redundant in August, I knew I wasn't happy in my job but it still hit me like a tonne of bricks. I'd been working in the fashion industry for 15years, now the rug had been taken out from under me it gave me the fresh start I obviously needed. I was left with no work or home ties to London and so decided to relocate to the Midlands. I started to apply for jobs and found one that seemed perfect, a studio assistant role on minimum wage, I went for the interview and found out the next day I hadn't got that job, but the boss had wanted to employ me as her PA / Project developer, it was a dream job come true! All that organisation with creative bits thrown in! Huzzah! I've been working there a month and a half and I'm loving it, the people are lovely, the job is great, and the embroidery product is beautiful. Now I'm in a job I love again Positive Parker has started to reappear, I'm working on coming off my antidepressants and I generally just feel lighter. I've even started house hunting up here - watch this space!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Check out September's 1Second...</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zcKARxu9B44" width="320" youtube-src-id="zcKARxu9B44"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">π new job = new notebooks π Stock Take and trusting me with counting(!) π Socially Distanced Pilates π stocking up on the McDs! π Dr Martens factory shop = heaven on earth π online church - cant wait to get back to a real face to face service π mum giving me a guided tour around the roses in the garden π packing a mahoosive wholesale order - all hands on deck! π Covid masks need a tea flap π TD loving his yogurt pot π Team photo π Lilly & Lulu - pug invasion π First journey into London since March - it was so quiet π Pissheads reunite for birthday drinks and Proms π Meeting Apollo - the bestest lockdown puppy π STEPS are back baby! π behind the scenes Instagram Reel π melted jelly sweet mess π last BBQ of the year π McDs in the park catch up π new ink! π Love Island USA - whoop π being brave for a flu jab π Socially distanced gig π new nails who dis?! π temperature checks at work π BoJo's announcement to wfh if you can π house hunting π sunny morning walks before work π never get tired of seeing a rainbow π afternoon tea loveliness with the Ceroc ladies π TD not enjoying his walk! π pop into the office - need a temperature check π WWE - amazing ladder match! π proppa cuppa from dad while I work π Keeping my chin up when a house hunt didn't go to plan π chilling with a new embroidery from work - bliss π</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I also had a memory come up on FB of last year's 1Second...

I've not forgotten about you all, promise! I keep wanting to type something on here, to update you all, but I'm stumped... I've got nothing to say. Life just feels like a continuous Groundhog Day. Today was a real uni duvet day, it was rainy and grey outside so we all curled up on the sofa, read, watched tv and napped. Bliss. Wish I had more to say, but that's it really!<br />
<br />
Hope you're all staying safe!<br />

One minute I'm ok, all Positive Parker, being a lockdown lady of leisure... the next I'm in a muddle, feeling totally overwhelmed and being a total Negative Nelly. It's exhausting. I know I'm not the only one feeling like this on an emotional rollercoaster but wow!<br />
<br />
Friday was a particularly bad one, I got the news I knew would be coming but was clinging onto a tiny (unrealistic) slither of hope that it would be ok, my trip to Berlin with 2 of my Frank Turner Fangirls was cancelled, first the flights, then Frank announced the 4day festival Lost Evenings was cancelled, then I had to sort my hotel cancellation. All 3 of us knew it was coming but it was a sad day, at least we're planning for Lost Evenings 5 to be one hell of a celebration, even if it's in Australia (side note - please don't be in Oz, I can't afford it!!). On top of this my Lewis Capaldi gig in July was cancelled as well as the Kasabian gig in June.<br />
<br />
As a busy social butterfly I'm finding it so hard to wake up every few days to the next thing being cancelled. There's nothing to look forward to at the moment because I don't know when things will start going ahead again. I've heard and read rumors that things might not get going until next year again but I'm doing my best to ignore this until it's officially announced, to think of no gigs, theatre or wrestling for the rest of the year makes me want to make a huge blanket fort, crawl in there and hibernate until it's all blown over.<br />
<br />
I'm well aware there are people far worse off in the world and that I should be very lucky, but sometimes I just need to vent. I'm sorry if this comes across as selfish. I'm so grateful to be able to see mum and dad everyday and cuddle Tommy-Dog when it all gets a bit too much, but this is my little spot, my little world, to share how I'm feeling, and just like everyone else I'm struggling and I have my off days.<br />
<br />
I just hope when this is over I never again take for granted grabbing a pint and having a giggle in Spoons, eating out, popping round for a cuppa, hugs, weddings, church, being able to go out for a full day, going on long drives, exploring new places, going on holiday, all three of us going out for long walks with Tommy instead of a rota of solitary walks, wandering around art galleries, walking down a busy high street and popping into shops to browse and try things on, standing in a queue and not having to think about how far away you are from the person in front of you, sitting in a theatre and getting engrossed in a play, cinemas, live wrestling - both watching on tv with a live crowd and physically being at the shows, hugs and handshakes from wrestlers, standing in a sweaty dark room jumping and shouting and singing along to music you love, and finally just being able to sit with my friends and see them IRL and not through a screen, I miss real people!<br />
<br />
Sending a social distancing hug to anyone who might need one right now. Also I know it's a cliche but just remember it's OK to not be OK.<br />
<br />
Stay Safe<br />
Take care<br />

Well we're in this lockdown for at least another 3 weeks so thought I'd try to look on the bright side of life (di dum di dum di dum di dum)... Here are my Things I Love Thursday.<br />
<br />
π waking up at 9am and not having to get up at 6:45am π time for Headspace π sunshine π opening my curtains to a stunning garden thanks to mum and dad π being able to hug mum and dad any time I want π lunch in the summerhouse with the sound of the waterfall going into the pond π Tommy cuddles π online quizes coming out of my ears π stopping off to watch tiny lambs in the fields for a moment π lots of Zoom catch ups π planning more Zoom catch ups π new projects and new challenges π getting back into puzzle books and colouring in π rocking my new lilac tracksuit loungewear π knowing it's Thursday thanks to Frank Turner doing his weekly live gig on Facebook (missing gigs and wrestling soooo much right now) π the "clap for carers" moment at 8pm every Thursday and seeing the whole street coming out to smile, wave at each other and applaud π being rich thanks to the house sale.... must. not. spend! π using a little bit of the money to treat myself and getting parcels π my 1 walk of the day π so many podcasts to chose from π and most importantly, lots and lots of tea π<br />
<br />
Must remember to do this every week, it's the little things.<br />
Stay safe<br />

Well first big news is.... the house sale completed yesterday!<br />
Was a bittersweet feeling but I know it's for the best. It sucked not being around to help Adam tidy the house and hand the keys over but in a way it probably made it slightly easier to distance myself from it all up here. I'm so thankful to have my little haven at my folks now more than ever, it's the only little spot I've got at the moment, I've got no official home and a nice amount of money in my bank account. Now just need to steer clear of ASOS!<br />
<br />
Work called me yesterday to say I've been furloughed for another 2 or 3 weeks at least so I'm glad to have a rough plan even though everything keeps changing and who knows how long it'll all last. I treated myself to a dot to dot mindfulness mandalas book and it's so addictive! I'm off to sit in the summerhouse, with the doors open wide, a rock night playlist blasting out, my dot to dot and a cuppa!<br />
<br />
Keep staying safe and have a good Good Friday<br />

I'm so lucky that I get to be with my folks and Tommy, but there's only so much of their tv choices and music I can listen to before I find myself moping on the sofa scrolling through Instagram. Now my tv is all set up and I have Netflix in my bedroom I need to start taking myself up there to watch my "trash" programs and catching up on YouTube bits, Jenna Marbles I miss you! I also need to make more use of the summer house for podcasts, reading and letter writing. I've got it in my head that I don't like my own company so I need to be around everyone all the time, but maybe I don't, maybe I do need "me time" every now and then. <div><br></div><div>Right the sun's out, I've got my book, Grazia and a cuppa, I'm off to chill.<div>Ttfn x</div></div>ktplandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13348712734340870716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10255755.post-34667119196957337782020-04-02T09:36:00.003+00:002020-04-02T09:36:47.640+00:00Meh<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Feeling weird today. Woke up today with that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. The past week has kind of felt like I was just on holiday and that everything would be back to normal in a week or so. I feel like it's just hit me again that we have no idea how long this will go on for and although I have my folks around me and friends online I just feel so very very lonely and isolated. Lots of people are happy staying in and relaxing but I'm missing my gigs, the wrestling, eating out, going to the pub and seeing lots of different people along the way. I've had some video chats, Houseparty games, Zoom silliness and phone calls but they're just not the same. I know there's nothing I can do about it and I just sound like a Moaning Minnie but I just needed to get it off my chest. Bleugh.<br />

I feel like I've made a bit of peace with this whole situation now, I've stopped being the stroppy "life's not fair" teenager. Ok I'm not seeing my mates, I'm single, I'm not in London, I can't go to my gigs / wrestling / pub... but I do get to hang out with my folks and have family time, which I wouldn't normally get with my busy 24/7-must-do-as-much-as-possible social life. Thankfully I get on so well with them (even though dad and I know how to wind each other up in seconds!) and it's actually quite nice being with them, and it's 10000000000000000000 times better than being on my own and stuck in a room in a flatshare in London.<br />
<br />
I've managed to make my old bedroom feel more like my space, all that's left to do is paint my walls pink, the ceiling blue, put up all my old Steps posters and hang CDs from the ceiling and we're sorted!<br />
<br />
The other big thing I've done is set myself a little weekly planner. I've realised I can't cope with nothing planned! Today's jobs include:<br />
- move clocks forward 1hour<br />
- 2pm zoom meeting with Progress Wrestling<br />
- Read in the Summer House (might make this my little den too!)<br />
- take off chipped nail varnish<br />
- write this blog<br />
<br />
Right better go, this To-Do List won't tick itself!<br />

Wednesday sucked, there's nothing else to say about that matter. Mum and I drove down to pack up my life, most to go into storage, some to come back with me. The bigger bits we've had to leave there for the new people, we'd hoped to sell bits or take other bits to the tip but due to the lockdown we can't do either. Even though it took over 8 hours it still felt rushed trying to pack up 4 years of living in that house. It hurt more than anything saying bye to the house and Adam and knowing I won't get to be there on moving day, for Adam and I to support each other through it, or be able to put my own stuff into storage when they come tomorrow. After 1.5 years of everything dragging on, the end of it has just felt horribly rushed and abrupt.<br />
<br />
As of today I woke up to the news that the government have advised house moves go on hold. We're still pushing and hoping that it'll continue, but they have said that if anyone in the chain shows signs of the virus we have to halt the process. We just need to keep it all on track for another 13days...<br />
<br />
I've never wanted a date to hurry up as much as this, but to also not happen for fear of the unknown and what the future brings.<br />
<br />
Hope you're all staying safe<br />

...you wait almost 2 years for a post, then 2 come along at the same time.<br />
<br />
Well after BoJo's statement last night of STAY AT HOME.... I stayed at home... and cried.<br />
<br />
I'm still at my parents but don't have enough clothes (cue a miserable time on ASOS, who knew I'd ever not enjoy online shopping?!), didn't have enough meds to stay up here indefinitely and also wasn't sure if the move was still happening, "just a little bump in the road", not sure how many more little bumps I can take tbh.<br />
<br />
This morning, after not much sleep, things are a bit clearer. The Drs are sending me a prescription to a local pharmacy, the removal men are still scheduled to come Saturday and the move is still going ahead for 9th April it seems.<br />
<br />
Now just the hurdle of packing my stuff up. I think tomorrow Dad and I are going to have to drive down and spend the day packing boxes for storage and bags to take back to my folks. The family that I was planning to rent my room from have said I can't move in because of the lockdown so I'm going to have to come back up to the Midlands until this has all blown over. Who knows how long that will be.<br />
<br />
It's really upsetting to know that when I shut the door of the house tomorrow evening, after a rushed day of packing, that'll be the last time I see it. No last night sleeping in the house and no moving out gradually and doing a last double check of everything.<br />
<br />
I knew getting a divorce and selling our house would be a stressful and upsetting time, but I would have preferred to go through it without Brexit delays and a Global Pandemic. I know one day I'll look back at this and laugh.... just not for a long long time yet.<br />

Well it's been a while hasn't it... wonder if anyone will even read this?! Hellooooooooo out there!<br />
<br />
I never thought that when I'd dust off this old blog it would be in such different circumstances. Since my last post in 2018 my life has totally flipped upside down.<br />
<br />
To cut a mega long story short....<br />
- Adam and I have split up, we're still really good mates and there for each other but just not as husband and wife. It was such a heart-breaking decision but it's the right one.<br />
- We put our house up for sale about a year and a half ago and thanks to Brexit (anyone remember when that was all anyone spoke about?!) and muppets trying to get mortgages they couldn't afford we had 4 sales fall through... we're currently on our 5th sale which (touch wood) is completing April 9th (virus permitting).<br />
- Tommy has gone to live with my folks, it was such a hard decision to know what to do but at least we know he's being well looked after (read totally spoilt), we know where he is, I can see him whenever I go home and Adam gets to see him when he has sleepovers with Lilly Pug.<br />
- I'm still working at the same place but currently classed as a "Furloughed Worker" thanks to Covid-19 Coronavirus. I'm at home, social distancing with no work to do. It's a weird feeling.<br />
<br />
To be honest, life has generally been tough (an understatement). I'm currently on antidepressants and trying my 3rd lot of counselling. I've been finding everything totally overwhelming. I have lost a lot of friends but also gained some. People who I thought would always be there for me aren't anymore, so now I'm trying to build new friendships, not always easy when you have no confidence in yourself and have lost most of your positive thinking.<br />
<br />
April 6th I move into my new room. I've found a family who are looking for a new lodger, they seemed really lovely and most importantly have a puppy! So I get to play with a puppy with none of the responsibility! Win win! I've also planned for the rest of my stuff to go into storage on April 2nd. Obviously who knows what's around the corner with this virus but I'm hoping and praying everything still goes ahead as planned but will need to just wait and see.<br />
<br />
If there's one thing I'm working on it's to just focus on everything I can control and to not worry about the stuff I can't, sounds way easier than it is, but I am trying! Honest!<br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll be back more often now I've broken all the news I've been putting off writing.<br />
Hope you all are staying safe and washing those hands!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Howβve you been? Is anyone still out there?!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sorry for the radio silence, life and FOMO have run away with me again and Iβm getting back on track slowly but surely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Am I allowed to say FOMO?! Is there an age limit on the term FOMO?! Am I now one of those un-cool older people who say FOMO and the younger ones roll their eyes?! Probably.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">To be honest Iβm a bit stumped with my blog at the moment....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Since Photobucket changed and I canβt use them to host my photos Iβve kind of lost the spark for posting little updates and theyβre not the same without a little photo...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Also I keep meaning to upload my One Second Everyday monthly posts but time slips away from me.... donβt fret Iβll be jumping back on it & uploading the previous months soon (yay I hear you say! :P)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2017βs been a bit of a weird year for me β ups and downs (quite a few downs actually) and struggling to stay motivated but Iβm hoping 2018 is going to be a better yearβ¦<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Lots in the pipeline⦠hopefully resulting in a happier KtP⦠cryptic I know!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyway, itβs just a little update to say Iβm still hereβ¦<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Iβve not forgotten my little blog (canβt believe Iβve been keeping a blog for 13years in Jan!)β¦<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Roll on happier times & more updates<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" original_font_attr="-1" original_line_height_attr="">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thanks for sticking with meβ¦<o:p></o:p></span></div>
