State of the SB

[miss_s_b]

• Plus: I managed to get the article I have been panicking about to the dear friend who has been expecting it and (I suspect) madly making excuses for me, and I wasn't even two weeks past the deadline. This is a public apology to her for my Douglas Adams approach to deadlines. But, you know, will soon be a published author! In a proper book and everything! YAY!


• Minus: I keep promising to do things for the Pod Delusion and then failing to do them either due to pressure of other things or lack of confidence. I am also being rubbish at replying to comments and emails of late. Must stop commiting myself to do so much stuff.


• Plus: physically I am looking and feeling much better since starting the exercise regime. I have also been off the happy pills for over a month, and despite the exponential increase in stress I have gone through with one thing and another recently, I have not yet had a nervous breakdown or killed myself. Exercise works. Even though every time I get even slightly grumpy now either matgb or magister will just tell me to go to the gym...


• Minus: am still up shit creek financially, and things at work are... well, I don't see the financial situation improving any time soon. My "full time" job is still only 16 hours a week at the moment. Which is fun.

As you can see, it is all swings and roundabouts round here at the mo. But that just makes life interesting, right?

How are you guys?

Sorry if that's how it comes across. (Attempts innocent expression, but fails.)

Personal and financial circumstances have kept me away from the net for awhile; sorry to see from a quick view of recent posts that life is not all it could be for you.

Umm...

Midway through converting my mother's remains into our new kitchen; finding dry rot in the floor; panicking about the extra £1K to find, and the extra days with no proper cooker, no kitchen sink, dust everywhere, nowhere to put anything; surrounded by freaked out cats and general chaos, but otherwise fine. Just fine.
