12.02.99 - I'm moving on

I almost couldn't bring myself to write a journal entry because I am so excited and wound up about today's events but I guess I would have trouble sleeping anyway so I may as well be sitting here on the computer. I got a call from Peter this morning to say that we have been given the flat we wanted in Camden! I was really excited and even more so when he said about moving on this Sunday! I've done almost no work today as I have been phoning around places trying to arrange things... a van, the rent money, telephone connection, stuff to take, stuff I need to buy etc. My head is still spinning and as I have been sitting here I have just realised we'll need a TV licence too. Oh God... so much to think about. Hehe.

I've been getting really stressed about things and it was starting to get me down. The other day I forced myself to see things positively and it seemed to work. I felt a lot more confident and optimistic and then as if by magic, all this positive energy boomeranged back on me in one fell swoop. I got a call this morning too saying that I had been shortlisted for another job I had applied for and that they were holding interviews on Wednesday. It's working for the NHS again which does not really tickle my tits but hey, it's a job and it's decent money too. I have a busy week ahead now with one flat move and two interviews planned and I'm so excited I could just pee myself! At least when I have to take time off on Tuesday and Wednesday (I will be *ahem* sick most likely... it really honestly has nothing to do with the fact that I have no annual leave left. I really do believe that...err.. I will be ill. hehehe) I will have somewhere to stay and won't have to travel back and forth between here and London.

I can't believe that it's only mid February and that this Sunday I will really be leaving home for the first time. It's quite a momentous occasion and I don't think it will hit me until I am actually away from home fending for myself. Which reminds me... I need to get myself a cookery book too (Hehehe, yes I can't cook.... yet). My Mum will be very upset and I will probably be worried about her for some time until things settle down into a routine. This is the second of my goals reached and I only have one more to do by April 1st to make things perfect for 1999. The third goal is for me to get a new job so I can leave the hospital before the year end and avoid all the crappy work that they think I am going to do for them with very little appreciation and loads of stress. I think it will near kill me if I have to be there beyond April 1st. I'm getting close to finding another job though. Two interviews and one application in waiting is not bad right now. It's better than it was before when I had a job seeking binge.

All this means that I will most likely be too busy to do a journal entry so bear with me for a few days. I'm sure I will get some time in the week for at least one update though. I'll most likely be packing stuff up tomorrow and doing some shopping and bits and pieces so I am not sure if I will have time for another entry before I move. I am so excited I just can't think straight right now!
