First Ever Blogger (Watch out!)

So this is my first time writing a blog, which I guess will be used when I have nothing to do and want to vent some frustration (what else do people use them for!?).

You may all ask why I have named my page "Here Comes The Sun". Its not because I am a Sunny person and have such a big head that I'm warning you that I'm about to brighten up your day. The reason I have chosen to call it this is because, as I look out at an extremely dark and dingy day, I like to be optimistic that both literally, and metaphorically, the sun is going to come out and life can always get better.

My name is Steph and I am 22 years old. My life is pretty normal, apart from a few anomalies, but whose life is completely smooth and picture perfect?

I have a job in admin, which even though can be stressful at times, I do love and throw myself at all the time. My partner Chris sometimes tells me I don't get paid enough, or I work with too much stress, and half the time I tend to agree, but on the whole, its a pretty good, stable job. At the moment though, I'm off on the sick, but i'll explain more of that later.

I have just moved into my lovely new home, and while the carpet in the living room needs changing and the tiles in the bathroom are chipped, i love it, and will never move house ever again (in part due to the stress of getting all of my stuff out of my parents house!)

As I said before, I'm off on the sick from work at the moment. This is due to a disability I have called Hemiplegia, which means that my left limbs are considerably weaker than my right ones, so in effect, and I can say this because its me, I'm a bit wonky. Last year I had to have my pelvis realigned because my left hip wasnt formed properly, which meant I had 6 months off, but this year I've had a bit of a tidy up of the hip, screws taken out etc and that's why I'm sat in my pj's writing this blog instead of just being home from work and starting to make the tea! As well as my leg being slightly wonky, I only have use of my thumb and index finger on my left hand, and so normal tasks people carry out, I have to find an easier one handed way of doing it. When I concentrate my arm also raises up which means anyone sat to the left of me gets a clonk on the head!!

The reason I'm giving you my whole medical history is because this is mainly what I will blog about, whether its daily because I'm bored, weekly updates from work or yearly because I completely forgot that I had a blog running.

Anyway, I'll stop boring you all now, have a great evening and I'll speak to you all in the near future.

See you real soon!
