Not so much of a list done today but a great/funny day spent at mum's fixing the pc with Caliban. Then back home for sorting of lego (still not sure why I'm doing that) and playing the QI boardgame. If anyone understands how it's scored please let me know...

Score: 7/10... fun times are the next best thing to doing something new

My baby sister turned 19. Wow. I still remember her bouncing in the baby boucer attached to the door frame, and getting a school uniform for the first time. How odd it is to think she's now a grown up...

Went to Magic today. It was a standard tournament which means cards from only 5 particular series are allowed and I haven't made a deck that qualifies so used a shop made one. It was useless! and shameful. But I'm definately a better loser than I was even a year ago. I'd have had a paddy and never played again.

I also feel good because I got a complete to do list done. It's amazing how clear my head is when a list is completed. Then again I soon create more things to do. They even include friends sometimes rather than just chores as many assume. Today Nat appeared and collected a club t-shirt. Good to chat, though I reckon I still chat too much. 

 

Anyway off to sleep.  Maybe I'll play some magic with my own decks this week 

Score: 7/10, not much of the year left is there...

Another Thursday and another PTTLS course. It's getting close to 'performing my micro teach and I still havn't quite decided what it'll be. But I will need volunteers to be my practice audience.... Nose bleeds, slings, 999 calls, recovery position, choking etc got to pick something that can be taught in 15 minutes.

What else did I do today... Oh the interview. for a job I'd actually love. Library assistant at my old library of over ten years, the library where I started SBL,  with hours that would let me continue SBL, nd maybe even pick up my archery and red cross again. Also minutes from my mum's house and only two buses to get to in the mornings. But alas I did not get it though I did get to the final 4 so thats something and the person who called said she really liked my interview and another said they would like to work with me some time so who knows. 

Score: 6/10. Part of me wants to be in a bad mood but then part of me is like 'whats the point in that?'

Yawn... 1 present left to buy, one left to make, many left to wrap. It's really worth it giving people gifts especially those you really want to thank just for being great friends. Shouldn't really give presents because you think you have to though.

Also had a trip to ye old sweet shop at the top of the market. The only sweetshop I go to because they really know what customer service means, unlike some sweetshops that are expensive to boot.

Interview tomorrow, and with the feedback from the last my only worry is that I don’t limp too much. Maybe I need to go to the gym again or get back into a routine of stretches and exercise. I hope it’s (hip) poor ‘quality’ is simply down to not keeping up exercise everyday. Maybe I should watch more karate kid? Always inspires me to train…

Uuummm looking at this my mind is wandering in many directions. Time for sleep I think.

Score: 6/10 - took me seriously too long to walk around town.

hehe a silly day ending in a new lego construction. I cannot believe that it's taken me 27 years to eventually make a lego xmas tree! How better to decorate and cheer up the gloomy months as we discovered is one of the main reasons for decorations.

 

















Score: sleepy 6/10

A simple day of shopping until mums pc required fixing. A funny event and a nice sausage butty.

Score: 7/10 - a nice simple day

28: Sunday 4th December 2011

OK so the pain wasn't the usual pain. Suddenly I found myself back unable to walk just like the week after the op. 4 or 5 hours in A and E and they cannot determine whats wrong so referred me to my surgeon again but they rules out another blood clot so that's something.

Also realised just how dedicated Tom is. He actually sat through those horrible hours with me...

I kept myself entertained with the idea that Space Marines would come to Earth and make an agreement with the Governments thatsince they needed a high class of servants and skilled humans for their army they would ask for volunteers from the sick or injured. For one years service they would fix your ailment. Imagine a giant 7ft space marine walking around the Leicester Royal infirmary with a clipboard. 

Would you go? A year as an ambassador between space marines and earth or doing the jobs being so big makes impossible to fix my hips... where do I sign.

Also wanted to make a Lego Christmas tree but way too tired and sitting on the floor really wouldn't work. Heh funny the kind of brain that contains these two thoughts.

Score: 5/10 Ow!

and the decorations are up! I wonder why people decorate...?

and the answer is... tradition. Another illogical human trait that cannot be exactly traced. But it's far better than the village that still slaughters whales every year because they're related to vikings who did it. The vikings had a reason to. Food being the main one but these modern day decendants have no BLOODY need. Excuse the pun if you like. It's shameful. Tradition should not come before life or logic.

Rant over.

And on a happier note had a great evening with two friends (was in pain thanks to the wonderful hip of mine but hey whats new) it was a fun time playing games and talking geeky talk celebrating a birthday. 

Score: 7.5/10 - may have been an 8.5 except the pain really hurt...
