I am, once again, the phantom of the night... I haven't written a blog for a while as I just haven't had arse-all to write about, and I also haven't done a night for a while. But here I am now, so I'm all yours.

There's not much new. I wish there was! I've started a counselling course, so I'm on my first step up since I became a manager, so that's cool. Work are paying for it, and I've been told that they will most likely be able to fund the next stop after this one. Hopefully I'll end up a fully qualified counsellor! I've been looking for a career direction for years, and this looks like it might finally be it.

My only problem is the amount of work I've now taken on. I'm doing my NVQ 3 in care, I've been registered to start my NVQ assessors award (no hurry with that one!!), I'm currently taking a distance learning medication course, and I've just started this counselling diploma. If you don't live in the UK, then I don't suppose NVQ will mean a lot, but it's an award that covers everything you should know in whichever area e.g. care. I have to do this one as I am a manager now, and then I have to do level 4, and then the NVQ in management... Lots of fun to look forward to!

Sometimes I just don't have the motivation... I feel like I did in my last year of my degree - no motivation to finish things. Actually, that's not totally true. I do want to finish, but I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to do all my work, plus do relaxing things! I'll hardly see my blokey this weekend because of work, and that really sucks the most. I should see him briefly tomorrow morning, but then I'll need to go to sleep, and he leaves for work around 11am... I'm on another night tomorrow, and I'll be leaving before he gets back! Same again the next morning, I should imagine... I wish I could put him in my pocket and take him to work. Or maybe I could get paid to cuddle him. That would be nice! Sorry : )

Anyway, I suppose I ought to go and see what I have to do tonight, and plan it around any good films that are on!!
