I was recently telling a friend something that had happened to me and she said that my life was hilarious and that I should write a book. I decided not to head down the Joe Pesci Goodfellas’ route and instead agreed that some aspects of my life were funny.
I thought why not and then it seemed like a lot of work and actually it probably wouldn’t be very interesting to anyone who didn’t know me.
I then thought that I would look at doing a Blog. Now, for many years I have spoken about blogs knowledgeably to my peers but in reality, I haven’t got a clue what they involve. I’m pretty sure that people had advised me to listen to one while I was doing my ten thousand steps. The issue there is that I don’t have any headphones (don’t like those tiny bud things sticking in your ears) and I don’t do 10,000 steps. Then I thought, hang on how does that work, does the person writing the blog have to read it out somewhere. At that point I realise that the speaky ones are called pod casts. I don’t have a pod, so I decided to stick to writing and try and work out how I put it somewhere for someone other than my cat to read.
I worked it out (thank you Google) and here it is:
These will be the random musings of someone who has hit a period in life where they have become a geriatric mother at 47 (now feel like a very geriatric mother as he has hit 5 and I’m in my 50s!!), jacked in their career of 25 years to train in software engineering (initially because I felt it might be a job where I wouldn’t need to talk to anyone), moved to a rural village in a county they have never lived in and also hit the menopause. I mentioned this to my sister and she told me that everyone was doing menopause so I suggested that maybe I could jump on board the bandwagon except I’ll probably miss with the brain fog I am currently experiencing.
This will also be a diary for my son so I don’t have to remember things when I get dementia and he suddenly finds out that he forgot to ask me anything.
P.S. If anyone wants it as a podcast, I can come round and read it to you as long as we are sitting down.
P.P.S. My husband just read this and asked how it was going to help me pass the software course
