~forever-simplicity

I realise I've been a little inconsistent with journal updates this year.. okay, so not a little inconsistent, but really inconsistent. I promise to work on that.

On the homefront, everything's pretty peachy. My nana's coping well with the loss of my opa, we've all moved on with life-- I can't help but think of him a lot of the time though. I guess it's just normal- he's the first person close to me that I really lost. I'm losing friendships at the moment, too, I think. It's from lack of contact. I need to make more of an effort. Hobbit holes (aka my bedroom) aren't healthy.

I've been and had a broken wrist-- I did something to the distal radius, like it shunted into another one. But yea, that's gone and healed and I'm back at work in full strength. Speaking of work, I just want this year to be over. Working full time is getting tiresome and I just want to get back to study. I'm contacting the local primary school next week about getting some work experience in on my day off. Hopefully that'll get me some experience and a shoo-in to teacher's college. I never thought I'd say it, but I miss having something to get up for in the morning- I'm in a routine now with work and I have to say that life on auto pilot is pretty boring.

Regarding books you guys should read...
I'm reading one called The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein and while I originally bought it was because the cover was gorgeous (it's blue with a dog's face on the front, google it and you'll see what I mean), the book itself makes you think. It's told from the point of view of a dog and it's a quirky read and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

(I'm working on my spiel to sell it to customers at work. )


And I would just like to say that it's cold.
For the umpteenth time this winter.
