So this week there has been some progress. I decided that I need to do at least one thing every monday that I have been putting off for a long time, For example.........I hate paper work and I don't mean I hate doing it but I actually cant do it, my brain just goes blank and starts flipping out. So I decided to get a grip on that. I went down to my bank and finally set up a current account, I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but I have been forcefully been putting it off for about 2 years.
Lar 1 - demons 0!!!
Next on the line, Went for a meeting with my community business development officer. He was blown away by the business proposal! I couldn't believe how much he was digging the idea, When I walked in he thought I was just another punk kid, But after a few jokes and then some serious figures he advised me to forget small fish like community development and Go straight to the I.D.A!!! WOW.......... That was a mega confidence booster, And to be honest I really needed it, Like I really believe in the company but to hear it form a pro was great assurance.
Ok so the set back are next
Well I got some bad news yesterday :(
My little cousin has been brought into hospital for tests for cystic fibrosis, he's only like 6 or so and Im very close to his mam and dad. The whole family is distraught! This had a knock on effect on my nanny who has taken very ill and needs hospital attention, but im going to explain a little about my nan so you understand why this is really bad.
My nanny A.K.A Carmel (Were not allowed call her nanny cause it makes her feel old) Is a very proud woman, She is one of them old skool people where you could fuck a kettle of scalding water in her face and she would still get up and go to work the next day. Like she is supposed to take morphine tablets for her various sickness's but refuses! Hard bitch or what!!!
She still works in a factory, she works 12 hour shifts and any overtime she can, she loves work. She also still goes out clubbing and the likes with all my family and her daughters. She is more like My close friend than just some old bag that gives ye tea and biscuits every sunday. I have worked beside her since I was 16 and before that I would be in her house for my dinner every second day of my childhood, Not to mention going away with her every summer holidays for 3 months down to our holiday home. So this woman means a lot to me.
So anyway, She is really sick, She wont go to the hospital and the family are all going mad. My mam is a real hippyish kinda mellow person that the family look up to for advice, So she was called in last night to get some sense into carmel, She Is still down there now. I was left to babysit, Missing Joe-breakers party, Missing going down to the red enemy house and Missing poker!
But I suppose some things are more important than drinking and gambling............... And realizing that makes me feel like I have reached a real turning point.
Family is what really matters!
