I've had a week full of smiles! As per usual. My weekly notifications on the things that have made me smile, must be pretty boring for some of you. But anyway, I'm not writing for an audience!
I've decided to create my own hashtag too. #SSS the title of the last two posts was a give away to this but just as a reference for any new readers. I thought I'd use something like the #FF on twitter. To try and raise the profile of my blog. Trying to get it around to more people for them to read. There are some great bloggers out there, so I thought it must be rather competitive, I might as well create a little hash tag to try and trend it on twitter and get it out to more and more people!
So, this week. It started off well with a lovely catch up with my old friend Rob, my pr2go brother! I hadn't seen Rob since my car crash last year, but I know we met up for a catch up here and there before it all happened. Also, we had been in touch, on social media, of course. But with my drowsy state of mind from all of the drugs I was taking, I wasn't my full self with him. It was almost like I was unsure who he was! I'm glad that horrible memory cloud has finally lifted from me now, since cutting back on my pain killers. It was a really nice catch up with him over a coffee in Birmingham town centre. We'll have to make it a more regular meet up too!
Tuesday was my last meeting with my OT Alex, she is off on maternity leave! I gave her a card and wished her all the best with her pregnancy and time off. I'll look forward to all of the photos when I see her again next year! I saw my OT Katie on Thursday, the little diamond has sorted my form out for the regional driving assessment! Hopefully I'll be hearing from them soon and in no time at all I will be back on the roads, I can't wait! It will be so good for me to just hop into my car and visit friends and family! Without having to rely on other people for transport. I can't wait to be driving again!!!!! [More safely of course ;)]
On Thursday, I went to an informal interview in Dudley, for a charity called Black Country Neurological Alliance, who should have a Facebook page, but they don't at the minute. They have a twitter account though, you can find them at @BCNA2013. Give them a follow if you like!
I'll hopefully be raising their profile and get them a bit more active online. It's not something I'm massively qualified in exactly, but I'm a little geek when it comes to marketing and social media, so fingers crossed I can use my skills to help this charity. At this meeting, I was given a list of what some of the people are dealing with neurologically. In that long list of various conditions, I ticked two of the boxes with my brain tumour as a child and my acquired brain injury from my car crash. If they are setting out to help people who have or are dealing with such things, I want to do my upmost to help and support them.
I am now their Social Media Manager and Newsletter Editor! Hopefully I will play these parts well and do them proud. I'm sure I will ;)
My writing course on Friday was good, although, I hadn't printed out my homework! I was suppose to have written a short piece, discussing my "light bulb moment". What inspired me to write. I thought I could just use my blog bio for this, so it won't be too difficult a task. I don't think I had a lightbulb moment really. It was more for a fact that I needed to write down what went on each week to support my short term memory loss. Then, with all of the positive feedback I had from this blog and all of the comments and chats I've had with various people on Twitter & Facebook, I thought I should keep writing! It was probably from this blog, that I decided I would write a book. A book that I'm fairly stumped with at the moment, so I could really do with some sort of lightbulb moment now!
On Saturday, I went to Blackpool with Anna, my brother Daniel, Grace and her mom Maureen, the kids Isabelle and James, and Daniels friend James. We all drove up to Blackpool for a little weekend trip to see the lights. I've never been before so it was interesting to say the least. The main point of the trip was to take little Isabelle to see all of the lights at night. We went for a meal at Frankie & Bennies, at which the wait was ridiculous! The food was alright though, so I can't complain too much. Then we strolled along the peer, taking in all of the illuminated scenery. On the Sunday, we went back to the pier for a breakfast and a little stroll. I had noticed a place for fortune telling along the peer on Saturday, I was intrigued by it, so we went back so I could pop in to see what she had to say. I thought it would be funny to hear what she said without me giving it away that I had a prosthetic leg. I thought my walk was pretty normal in short distances and she might not even notice! I wasn't wearing my face mask either! So honestly, I thought, it's a con and I just wanted to catch her out. She was a lovely old lady though, and she didn't seem too intrusive. She ended up telling me that I would meet "the one" next year, in April. His name would consist of the letter H, he would have something wrong with his hand. I would have 1 child, a daughter. And that was it. It wasn't very convincing, although I will be looking out for someone in April with a H in their name! She did say that if I didn't meet him, it would be my own fault. Which was a bit of a cop out! But we'll see, I'll let you all now at the end of April!
