The unexpected is a very bumpy place to be sometimes...

Have you ever been faced with a situation when something you planned for wasn’t actually how it turned out? This week our bloggers share their own experiences. Let’s find out how they navigated through the change and how they dealt with it.
 
 
Hello my readers, for those who have been following along, this is new to my journey.
I have moved out of my parents’ house and moved about one hour and twenty three minutes from my family. it’s been a very emotional time. I was lucky to have my mum and dad to help me set up my kitchen, it actually looks like one now. Robert’s family helped us too!

It’s been a different feeling. For the first few nights we were sleeping on an air mattress. It doesn’t matter where we sleep for the first few nights.
I am looking forward time with my family and them coming to help paint my rooms. I also went on a adventure to the local shopping centre, I am lucky to still be in contact with my Umbrella family I cannot wait to share more of my journey with you love from Jess 
 
Two unexpected things recently happened to me, I was working at
Holy Moly and there were a group of stupid teenagers. They tried to steal the blue car that's in front of the shop. They tried to steal it in front of me but I scared them away.
 
One of them from the group came back and apologised and helped me put the car back. After that I went to the kitchen and made fourteen pizzas for a party. There were eight margarita's, four pepperonis and four hawaiian pizzas.
 
One of my friends from work told me to try this drink. So it was Pepsi but we mixed it with raspberry cordial. It was so good. I did a little bit of an experiment. I grabbed a Pepsi and I mixed it with vanilla. It was delicious. I told my friend to try this and she loved it too.
 
Thanks for reading. Stay safe, and don't be worried about unexpected changes or stupid teenagers. – Ryan
 
 
Hi friends, how are you? Today’s topic is unexpected changes and how you deal with it. My unexpected change was not having my best friend Jess around as much as before because she had just moved into her new house with her fiancée Rob.

This was unexpected for me because her and I are joined at the hip and we will not be doing Handmade together on a Monday anymore, but I will still see her on Tuesday nights at dinner with friends which is once a month.

Also, we will be able to work together on the radio. I am able to text her and see her on FaceTime which is great. This change was hard for me as it meant I was going to miss my good friend but I am happy for Jess as it’s an exciting time for her and I know our friendship will never end and continue to grow.

Since Jess has been gone she has been showing me her place on FaceTime and we have been texting each other every day.

Have you ever been in a similar situation and how did you deal with it.
Thank you for reading my blog.
Your very bubbly friend Bethany.
 
 
Hello friends, 
Don't you love it when you have plans, and they end up changing and it's completely out of your control. No, the correct answer is no. This has happened many times in my 31 years of life, and I would have thought by now I’d be used to these events happening. But when things are planned, and you have prepared yourself for those plans, it can take a minute to adjust to a new plan, or to the plans being up in the air and I want to say that I'm a go with the flow kind of person but I’m not. Shout out to my Neurodivergent brain and Anxiety.  
 
Planning isn’t one of my strengths, but I love it when I have a plan because I know what to expect and I can run the day around those plans. It feels like a good day when plans are organized and all goes to plan. However, life happens, plans change, and the world keeps turning. 
 
Most times when plans change or get cancelled for me, I have two reactions; one is relief in the beginning and the other is anxiety, always anxiety. I feel relief for a split second because I'm usually anxious about the plans and I get a little bit of a break from that until it has to be rescheduled, re-planned and re-thought.  
 
I am an overthinker and I will overthink about the change of plans, if I didn't overthink, I’d have a lot more time for myself and space in my brain. I would honestly need to get a new hobby. Any change will send me into a spin, but I have learnt to mask my reactions to this because I don't want people to feel bad or guilty about changing or cancelling the plans. Suprise, surprise I'm also a people pleaser.  
 
A change of plans or cancellation for me also means that I need help to organize the plans to be rescheduled and re-planned or it probably won't happen. I do get anxious about this because it is out of my hands and I can't control when this is done, don't get me wrong I completely trust the people who help with this. Anxiety just likes to take a hold and be a little bit annoying.  
 
While I haven't talked about a specific time when I've had an unexpected change of plan, it has been great to talk through everything that happens when this happens to me. A bit of a brain dump and my goodness writing is therapeutic.  
Thank you for joining me yet again,  
Your friend always,  
Shan.
 
 
 
 Hi my readers, today's blog is about an unexpected change and how I dealt with it.
 
Let me tell you about my Shein order and how it didn't go to plan.  So, I put an order in for a jumper, because I just love to order from Shein their clothes and other items. The delivery for the Shein orders takes about one to two weeks to arrive I always feel very impatient before my Shein orders comes in. I will track the orders so many times.
 
When I got the Shein order I tried the jumper on and it felt too small, I wanted it to be over sized, but it was not the right size, so I gave it to my neighbour's daughter. I felt annoyed and disappointed because I wanted to wear the jumper around the house or when I go out or to places.
 
So, for me when I have plans with my friends or any situation that comes with challenges or does not go to plan, I will tell my mum because she is the person that I talk to the most and she knows everything that I do with my friends.  She will always help me whenever I need her.
 
Have you ever had a situation where an unexpected challenge happens and your plans with your friends change on you, how did you feel about it?
 
Thank you for reading my blog this week, Alannah. 
 
 
 How do you deal with unexpected changes? I had to move to my grandma’s house, but I need to move to a new house soon, I mean a bigger house for me where I feel peace and happy of my life. I had to move quickly to my grandma’s house, but I still focus on the good things like my mates and my cooking and make my own stuff.
 
I think I am good at dealing with changes and some of the times I am happy with changes.  I have a good time with my mates no matter what and help with my mates so we can help each other. We make a good team, hangout with my friends always makes me happy and love, it makes me feel good for myself.
Thank for your crazy friend TJ
