1) tod: I am not writing a new Timetable of Doom for September! You know how happy this makes me, right? I decided that there wasn't really any point, and we should continue to run the summer timetable I recently wrote (as I'm quite proud of it and think it should run for longer) and the management team were totally fine with that, so yay, no new ToD right now! I'm just going to tweak the summer one a little, then probably do a whole new one at the end of the year instead. Whew =)

2) nose: Had a check-up at the hospital a couple of weeks ago where I expected (and I think they expected too) that I'd now get the all-clear on the nose operation being successful, but having poked around with a camera up there, they say it's still healing and I have to go back in another 6 weeks. I'm not worried though, it feels the best it ever has and I'm sure this time the operation worked.

3) anxiety: Am struggling a bit more with anxiety again, and I won't go into too much detail and bore those of you who don't know about it with the ins and outs of it all, but the mood swings that go with my anxiety are bothering me lately; very up for a few days, then very down for a few days, on top of all the anxiety stuff. It isn't fun. Pretty up right now, though that in itself bothers me as it feels false (which I know it is) and I know what comes next. So, will focus instead on happy things and stave off the downside as long as I can =)

4) flist cut: I always find flist cuts make me very anxious, and I've enough anxiety in my life as it is so this time, I'm not going to keep putting it off and I'm just going to get on with it. Then again, I'm equally pathetic about friending people too. Anyhow, will be doing a flist cut this weekend; some of us are following each other out of nothing more than habit now, which is a shame but that's life, I guess, and it isn't really a reason to be stay on anyone's flist; I like my flist manageable enough that I can read all the entries and for it to be interactive, which is why I keep it relatively small, and if we're not interacting and/or are not interested in what each other is saying, then what's the point, yeah? As always, no hard feelings whatsoever, we've just moved on from each other and I guess that's how it goes.

5) photos: A couple of old photos for you, as I no longer have a camera to offer you new ones:

One of Peter which I really like, taken about 3 weeks ago:

One of my friend Sam taken in my office at work months ago; she's showing you how to pose for a photos without anyone seeing you have a double chin. Crafty.

*love & hugs to you all* ♥

Hey hun. :)

Good news about the nose..*fingers crossed* it's worked.

I'm not sure how relevant this is (for you) re the anxiety and ups and downs but I think the very fact that you recognise it for what it is is positive. Without going into too much detail, a family member of mine suffers from just the thing but has taken to blaming it on everyone else, which in turn has created even more problems (for him and everyone around him).

So yeah - anxiety, highs and lows, depression, melancholy (something I've called it) can really stuff you around. I hope you can get through the lows and enjoys the highs. I've noticed that different things work for different people so I hope you find the thing that works best for you.

*hugs* and I hope I didn't just blab too much there.

<33

Well I'm hoping it's worked but I won't actually get the all-clear until next month; I'm fairly confident though =)

You know about my anxiety stuff from what I've filtered before, but no, I absolutely don't blame anyone else; this is my problem and I need to deal with it.

Thanks for your support lovely ♥

*hugs*
