I realised that in writing my "Getting To Know You" meme this morning, I hadn't actually done a proper update in ages .... so, for those who were wondering - here is some scribbles!!

Job

I am still job hunting - 6 months now.  In that time I've had 8 interviews, so I can be positive in that there is something on my CV that is working - the right job is out there, and in applying for numerous assortments, one day all the boxes will tick in my favour.

Still positve!

Breathing

The Physio has been great - I think one of the good things was finding out that I damaged my diaphragm 20+ years ago ... so all the problems and odd breathlessness I have had have been for an actual reason.

I still listen to James in the car - as requested ... to listen to breathing patterns while talking.  I come from a county where 1/2 of us speak very quickly.  Add poor breathing and you have a problem, so James is helping!  The other half of that is that I have to read aloud every day.  Well when I read my Bible in the morning I read the Psalm aloud, so that's good - and it's true that doing that makes you actually focus on the words.

Writing

As I said I wrote a Drabble this morning - but I'm also 1/2 way through another chapter of my "First Date" fic .... poor [livejournal.com profile] mabel_marsters  

Swimming

Yesterday I commented to [livejournal.com profile] spikereader that since giving up riding I was noticing a weird side-effect ... my jeans were shrinking!

So, I've started swimming again.  This morning I swum about 1/2 mile ... not bad for someone who is actually petrified of water.

~~

Oh well, there isn't any news - but thought I would just say "Hi" and catch you up with the "nothing".

My real news today was, as I said in my last post, I had washing on - hung it up ... was just on my way back in ... when ... the line broke!  I almost hadn't bothered hangign out as it won't actually dry - just thought it was nice fro things to be a bit out in the fresh air.

Reading your post makes me realize that I also haven't had an update in quite some time. Must do it tonight.

Good that you get interviews for jobs. There is the perfect one out there, just waiting for you.

Listening to James as an exercise for physio, what a hard task to do. Reading aloud is a good way to understand the words better I think.

I am waiting anxious on the next chapter. Love Tara's voice.

Your a real trooper with the swimming even afraid.

The right job is absolutely out there for you. I firmly believe that it's all a matter of timing.


And, I love the smell of aired laundry, too!

I'm always amazed at how fast some people talk. I never realized how much of a Southern drawl I have till I left Texas. Guess sometimes it pays to speak with a twang. It helps you breath better.

Jobs are hard to come by around here as well. We get so many applications, but often they are so limited that we don't bother even interviewing them. They want weekends off or only day shifts. Some will say they are open, but soon as they are hired they start in trying to change what they will work.

Isn't it too cold to swim? It was very warm here today, but on Thursday it is going to drop to the forties. Brrr!

Thanks for the update. I haven't updated my journal since early October, I think.
