Wow your all so busy. Hope everyone gest better soon.
My excuse: the internet is being very temperamental, especailly during the week it won't work for longer than a minute or two before disconnecting until after about 10 or 11 pm. During the weekend it's better though. Plus my bro is back from uni so he's spending a lot of time on the computer. Oh and mum thinks there is somehting wrong with me. Although she does think it's just a medication side effect and although she's probably right I don't like going to the doctor, and I certainly don't want to go through switching medications. Although that is in between her accusing me of taking diet pills or something (I would if I could afford too but she doesn't need to know that). We'll see how it goes after Christmas then I may go to the doctor. Plus I need to job hunt, I'm getting worried that mum may actually chuck me out if I don't get a job soon because she keeps saying she will.

I'm planning on getting a new dresser/closet combo (I'm situated in the attic so space is a bit sparse) and getting rid of the shell of the old one. The drawers have been gone for a few weeks so I'm using the beams that held up the drawers to hang my clothes. It's a sad sight really.
I'm also in the process of writing my personal statement for grad schools. Very, very slowly[/i]. Anyone got any tips? It's such a drag.

Personal statement? Is that an essay or a motto or a mission statement?

That's all I need to write then, db. If that doesn't get them I don't know what will.
The personal statement is a bit of both. Trying to tell these schools why I want to go in the program (social work/mental health counseling) and what led me to said decision and why I might make an excellent candidate. I'm not very good and promoting myself, I'm afraid.

Db- Choco I remember that being a nightmare when I applied to uni. Good Luck. P.S. I love Seth. He's just so dreamy. Well done on creating his gorgousness Stacey.

Peopling rolling on the floor? Check. Laughing so hard they pull a facial muscle? Check. Mission accomplished. Moving along… Self-promotion can be a hard thing. Maybe you could try to think of nice compliments you've received that would apply? That way, you'd just be passing on references, only repackaged?

Well, I'm going to be quiet for a while, and not by choice or WoW.
Today at work I went to take a pic of a house's backyard. The patio looked normal for a rainy day. Yeah.
It was solid ice.
Went straight down and broke my fall with my right hand. That's why I'm typing this with just my left hand. And trying not to cry at work.

Do you think it might be more than your fall that was broken? Did you go for an X-ray? ~concerned~

Db- Choco I remember that being a nightmare when I applied to uni. Good Luck. P.S. I love Seth. He's just so dreamy. Well done on creating his gorgousness Stacey. Thanks. I quite like him too. And he's sort of based on my husband. And thank you all for the bits about my hand. Nothing's broken. Just a bad sprain. When I got home John had four Ibuprofen and a wrist brace waiting for me, and it hurt a lot putting the brace on (i.e. I cried like a baby) but it feels much better now. I'm actually typing this two-handed, although I probably shouldn't do this too much longer. I think the swelling's gone down, and the hand isn't freakishly cold like it was a couple of hours ago. It hurts a lot, but it's minor and should heal on its own in a few days. I've never broken a bone. Used to sprain my ankle a lot when I was a kid, though. First time spraining a wrist.
