Warmth
So i'm sitting here at 1.40 am, currently on my nightshift at the carehome.
I can here shuffling of feet upstairs, gentle snores and the sound of planes outside.
To care fills me with such a warmth that cannot be explained. Speaking to people asking how they got used to working in care, i can now understand why they do it. I can also understand why I want to do it. It may take me time to learn and get better, but I have never felt such a strong connection working in an industry like this.
Its 1.43am and sitting here thinking about why I love my job. I love it for the smiles and conversation you get from the people you care for. I love it because it gives me a purpose as a human being. I love it because it makes me appreciate people a whole lot more, and what a little bit of compassion can do.
I feel warmth inside of me, for helping others. I just wish more people on this earth cared and helped one another. It makes me realise how cruel some people can be and yet it also fills me with this fear of what if I get old and no-one cares?
I can't change the world, but I can do my best as a person, and as a Carer.

Time's tide will smother you
Its been a while since I've posted! And for that I apologise, so I'm gonna have a talk here about recent happenings and thoughts and just give an insight into my world in the meantime ^-^
Weightloss
Recently I've been a man on a mission, a mission of weightloss.
Long story short, I had to go for a pill check at the doctors. The past year I've been in severe denial about my weight and blood pressure and have pulled every trick in the book not to see a doctor and just get my prescription on repeat without a check. My fear was they wouldn't give me my medication!
So I gave myself that kick up the arse I finally needed and went on a detox diet. Aim? Loose a stone in weight and reduce my blood pressure. I went on the 'detox' for 10 days (The Lemon Detox) and managed about 4 days before getting bored shitless and exisiting entirely on Weightwatchers Soups!
Results :
Original Weight - 15st 0lbs
End Weight - 13st 12lbs
Orginal BP - 177/78
End BP - 140/77
So after 10 days, I'd dropped over a stone and my BP went back to a normal healty pressure, no longer on heart attack territory hurrah! So I've been super happy with that :)
Work
I've been looking for work recently and have been pretty disheartned having been rejected for jobs. However finally I recieved a job offer from a fantastic Care Home in Braintree which I'm super excited to be starting! Also I had an interview at Morrissons, buuuuut that care home seems more fun :D
Bodymods
Thursday marked an incredibly sad day for me :(
Sadly my microdermal had to be taken out because it never settled ;3; Managed to pull the bloody thing out about 3 times and finally came to the conclusion that it would never settle gah!
On a positive note though, I will be attending London Tattoo Convention on Friday 23rd September :D
Managed to acquire to fundings to get my arm finished by Elson hurrah! Pictures and blog entry to follow shortly ^-^
Life
My life as well has been good recently and things are finally looking up future wise :)
I recently enquired with my doctor about possible scar treatment and we're looking at the path of cosmetic surgery which is quite scary, however I'm hoping something comes from it! I also dyed my fringe purple, fancied a change hehe :3
Josh and I are good as well :) It'll be a year and a half together this month ^-^ We've been spending a lot of time recently with his family, especially his brother Chris and his wife Karina. Last weekend was spent getting high (Haven't smoked weed in over a year so it was pretty weird!) watching tv, drinking and just generally having a laugh. However the best fun is spent with Josh playing games, watching movies and cooking yummy food :3 I really am the luckiest girl on the planet, I love and adore him to bits and I can't wait to go to Berlin with him next year :3
The pets are good as well ^_^ Momo is in season and she's spraying and shedding her fur everywhere, stinky thing! And my Gerbils are good too and being very cheeky like usual ^-^
All in all, things are good in the life of Paige! I'll be posting more eventually on my Youtube and on here :3
P.s Heres an updated picture of me :3
