Doing my best to fix it

After not sleeping for almost a week, I decided I had to fix all the wrongdoing I did.

Thank you, God.

So yesterday morning, I emailed Sally.

"Hi Sally, I need to apologise about our meeting and for the things I said. Firstly, I didn't mean to offend you at all, I was just hoping you'd see how seriously I take my role and that I would never rip the company off on purpose. Also regarding my family - I am a liar and a fraud. My Dad is one of the best people ever and although he drives me nuts, he doesn't emotionally abuse me, he is not cruel or power-hungry and he does his best, God bless him. Please disregard anything I said about him in the meeting. I lied and I couldn't be sorrier about it. I hope one day to be as strong and as fierce as you are. With kind regards, Janet"

I hit send and put an empty archive box under my work desk so I could pack everything quickly once Sally's "you're fired" email arrived.

At least I could leave knowing I cleared Dad's name.

1 down. 3 to go.

I instant messaged Ima, telling her what I said to Paul and asking her forgiveness "Don't worry about it, Babe. I don't like him and don't care what he thinks of me. All good" she replied.

Thank you, Abba Father.

2 down. 2 to go.

I took some deep breaths and instant messaged Paul, telling him I had no right to speak on Ima's behalf and that I was mad at her so I wanted him to be mad, too and had made the situation worse when I should have reminded him he wasn't alone and that Ima was probably just really stressed out "No worries, don't stress" he responded.

Phew.

1 to go - The Jil/Tamara situation.

Okay, I wasn't sure how to go about fixing this so this is still undealt with.

But boy did I sleep that night! Hooray hooray hooray!

I'm feeling better about everything and just waiting to see if I get fired. I've seen Sally around the office but she's not said anything to me. I haven't had an email from her so I'm just biding my time until something happens, I guess.

10...and then 5 :)

Yeah I can tell Im getting better because even though things are tough right now and Im sad and a bit fed up and weary...I still have hope :) I cant help it, it's who I am. I got an email from "Sandy" today. I really care about her and I look up to her and will probably read her email again when im less tired from a long day and it will make more sense...but for now, what I think she was trying to say to me was to take a bit more ownership of my life and to stop asking God to fix it all...or something like that...and I want you to know, Sandy - Im taking ownership of it and doing it ALL myself...but I believe in God and I believe that he hears me and so Im taking EVERYTHING to Him and just asking for some direction on this. I'll email you personally about about that another day. Thanks for always being there for me. I keep trying and failing and falling, then getting excited about something new and getting back up. Im on a very strange path just now and although...

just not sure

If anyone were to ask if I was okay...I wouldn't know how to answer that. I mean, in theory, I'm fine. Absolutley fine. I go to the gym almost every day. I eat a lot healthier than I have in a long time. I still eat cookies and have the ocassional icecream but I'm doing a hellovalot better than I used to. I'm pretty proud of that. I try hard to be mindful - to be more 'in the moment' in my life. I notice I'm always 'rushing ahead' to the next thing - like if I'm in work, I'm rushing ahead in my mind to going home...then I get home and I'm rushing ahead to going to bed - ticking off in my mind all the things I need to do...all the things that need my attention between the time I sit on the sofa to watch TV and the time I'm pulling the blanket up over me and gratefully snuggling into bed. Even then, I'm rushing ahead to the next morning in my mind, planning what to wear for work, what to pack for lunch, what workout to do a...

and then, we move on...

Sometimes moving on can be so hard. I remember last year when I got "released" from hospital. The fear of leaving that safe trauma ward was awful. I hated thinking "oh God...now I'll be on my own and I still cant walk"...but you know what? we move on. We move on from petty fights with friends, from stupid family things, from broken hearts and crap days and we hope for better things. Im blessed because I'm experiencing those 'better things' right now, actually. Think about it, Im at work (so Im thankful for a job), I have the world's most amazing people as my friends (seriously, all my friends are worth their weight in gold) I have a safe home, lots of food and money... and I have an amazing boyfriend. Alun met up with me yesterday at the Royal on a sunny, warm Perth day. He had something in a huge shopping bag and held it out to me with an excited grin "OMG Janet - open it, you're gonna LOVE it!" and the smile on his face r...
