Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. Here is an update on "the state of the me".
Eye -
Following the whole stitch plucking/trimming debarkle, my eye is doing much better. As of yesterday, I'm officially on no more medication for it (even though I should have been off it 2 weeks ago). I am slightly aware of that awkward stitch that had to be trimmed, but not anywhere near enough to be concerned about. I had a scheduled trip to the eye department on Tuesday and a look through my notes made by the surgeon revealed a "VERY thin sclera". This is the white part of your eye. Basically this means that this particular stitch doesn't have a whole lot to cling on to, and thus is nearer to the surface than is really ideal.
There is still redness in the eye, but I am noticing that that is slowly starting to clear. The eyelid is still somewhat droopy, but hopefully that is also something that will improve in time.
Job -
Nothing really to report on that front. Still unemployed but there are applications in the works and I have emailed my agency just this morning with regard to giving them a kick up the backside on the "finding me some temp work" front. Also, they've stopped running their own PAYE scheme, so I've had to register with an umbrella company to pay me. That has been a hassle and has taken up valuable brain-space. But on the plus side, they pay mileage and a daily lunch allowance of between £5 and £10 depending on how long I am out of the house.
Edit: Well, well. Within a couple of hours of emailing, I receive a text asking what my availability is for next week. What a surprise eh?
Hair -
As you may remember, I got my hair cut super-short about 6 weeks ago. At the time the hairdresser said "you'll need to come back in about 5 weeks to keep it looking neat". I mentally went "pfff. whatevs, see you in 2 months at the earliest!" Only now it's 6 weeks, and it perfectworld really needed doing last week... I take back my words. I'm starting to work a shaggy dog look.
NaNoWriMo -
Is it that time already?
Typically I think about it on and off most of the year, but certainly from about July onwards. For AGES I thought I had my plot sorted. Until I had an idea that was much better! I'm really looking forward to writing it and hopefully being a winner for the 3rd time. :)
That's pretty much it. I hope you lot are all well and lovely. :) x
