I've succumbed to wonders of Twitter... http://twitter.com/bellebot
Also I've decided I'm definitely going to learn to ride, hopefully April, I'm pencilled in for my DAS along with Sephi pending theory and CBT go to plan. I imagine they will. I'm so excited. The motorcycle gear collection has already started.
- Bright pink leather jacket by Wolf, apparently custom made for Jodie Marsh before the boob op. It's epic! You'll see me coming a mile off.
- Leather trousers, AGV, fairly standard black and armoured, brand new and very cheap as a result of the Wyder group going into administration.
- Fly motocross boots, I'm aware I'm not actually going to be involved in motocross, but they look great and were only £18 second hand
- Black leather armoured gloves, my hands are notoriously odd, so finding a pair to fit wasn't an easy task, managed it in the end, think they're RSR Daytonas.
In other news, I'm recovering from what my mum reckons was flu. Except I didn't have the cold like symptoms as such, just the lethargy, aching, general zombie feeling, vomiting, nausea and apparently looking like death. Lasted around a week or so, most of it spent in bed trying to muster the energy to grab a bottle of lucozade. Not flu in my books, that is at least 2 weeks in bed.
Also to coincide with my bed ridden state, I fell down the stairs, bashing my back on most of them as I went down. Back pain and the snapping crunching noise and then swelling of my ankle definitely kept me in bed. Though they seemed to sort themselves out pretty quickly. It was enough to keep me off work. I don't like being off sick much; can't exactly afford it.
Overall I'm fairly chirpy. Ridiculously excited about learning to ride and getting all my gear. Especially as I get to do it at the same time as Sephi. I've wanted to ride ever since I was little as my Dad used to ride. Can't wait!
Though mainly, the dark days are over. I love winter, however my body doesn't so I get a bit dreary, lethargic and glum. I counteract it by pointing blue LEDs at my eyes in the morning. It works wonders, when I remember to switch my light box on that is!
March is here however, and just like every year, the sunny days and the financial struggles of januray and febuary are in the past, so I feel much happier. They joys of SAD, though I refuse to believe I'm depressed during winter, despite the fact my doctor, mother and boyfriend all say I come across as depressed, withdrawn and angsty. I just have a dip in self esteem and the chemicals in my brain don't work quite as well. Just one of those things in life, it happens, nothing to worry about really. I'm on the up now anyway, and soon I'll have a bright pink motorcycle jacket to match my mood! :-D
