Well it’s been a while since I last blogged.
Lots has happened over the months and unfortunately one of the things was that I lost my dad. One minute you’re sat there with a yoghurt bowl watching TV and a couple of minutes later your phone goes and life turns upside down. Your world stops but the wider world carries on.
There’s surprisingly a lot to do when somebody dies and you’re the next of kin. Sometimes you have to turn off your emotions and get the thing done.
Anyway this blog post is about the aftermath of that. I had 3 weeks off work for the bereavement and 1 further for a holiday. I think that’s the longest time I’ve had off since my school days.
The first week back was difficult. Nothing quite seems so important anymore. Then step by step I kept adding bits of my routine back. Second after work was the gym again (this helped tremendously), then the week after my Italian lessons again. I’m feeling pretty good overall but there are still moments of sadness.
There’s still lots of his stuff in my garage that I need to sort through and I will, step by step!
Since that first week at work I’ve rekindled my work ethic and made tonnes of progress on the recipe app. I’ll have some more to share on that soon and lots of new technical things I’ve run through to get the thing working. I’ve also helped my partner with her new shopify store. That was a new experience and what a great platform!
Thanks for reading
