I know it’s been a long time since I last updated properly but I’ve sat several times with a page open, tried to type and nothing comprehendible comes to mind. I know poor excuse, but I have been trying to keep up to date with my FL even if it looks like I disappeared from the radar.

My Summer turned into me having the almost daily routine of: get up, mess around on the net for a bit/work on the dissertation, go to work, come home, have dinner, watch tv til late and bed. It just seems the friendships I had in high school (bar a few) have died, people have grown up and moved on, myself included. Uni changes people for good and for bad I guess. Speaking of uni, I move back in on the 26th, living downstairs now. I’m going to miss living with Duffy but I’m not going to miss the likes of Abby and Caz, they made summer term of last year unbearable for me at points. Now I’ll be living with James, who is my best friend there, it will be a welcome relief from the cattiness that was Flat 5.

At home things are kind-of in limbo still, I’m just trying to ignore it as best of possible though ignorance is not always bliss. After Aunty Katrina’s sudden death things have been a stress to sort out what was happening with her four kids. The eldest is living with my Aunty Jan at the moment til the council can sort of the house tenancy, as they are taking their time with it. The second eldest has Downs so everything is a bit confusing for her, we’re moving her into a special college for young adults with learning disabilities tomorrow. The third has been given a temporary flat in Chester til the tenancy is sorted, that was her own decision. Finally the youngest is in Foster Care til fulltime arrangement for her to live with Jan can be sorted. Then in my own home, Dad is still suspended from work, its been four weeks now. His whole team got suspended regarding a claim that they were basically skiving their jobs, but instead of a written or verbal warning they were straight out suspended and are unaware whether they’ll have jobs for a couple of weeks still. Meanwhile, I have to carry on working at the hospital, knowing who reported him and having to keep my mouth shut about it.

I guess I’ve tried to hide from all the drama, taking the ignorant route, hoping it would blow over and I am hoping that does come true. I just hope you understand now why I haven’t been around much of late, and I apologize to you guys for it.
