I'm too tired to write about it so maybe tomorrow or after christmas to spare you the grief (Or not? I'm very forgetful these days) but there are reasons I abandoned you all and I just want everyone to know it's me not you.

Because you guys are great and made a fantastic seven years of my life and it wouldn't feel right to just fade away without saying anything

Merry Christmas

PS I have Bell's palsy and it's not going away

Every part of me that was bad has gotten steadily worse. Apart from the gut issues which just magically up and resolved themselves one day. I feel to woozy and stressed all the time to gorge myself on food though, so it kind of evens out.

Also since the nights are at their longest about now, my SAD is seriously acting up. Death to whoever likes winter.

What have I missed?

Today I went to a trainee management all day interview. All the other applicants were black and at the icebreaker the two ladies (One of which was the most attractive girl I have ever seen) were paired up together. For the 'Things you have in common' question, one of them said 'Uhhh we both have black hair and uh, we're both black!' and started laughing raucously and I didn't know if it was okay for me to join in..

Two days ago I was running to the store to get some groceries. I was trying to catch a green light and managed to fall straight to the ground in the middle of the road. When I was undazed enough to look, the only thing I could understand was my laces were somehow tied together. Not wanted to put the poor motorists out (The light had already gone red) I literally crawled across the road.

When I got to the other side, I found out that the loop from my right shoelaces had caught on the...

This is what being horribly ill and basically confined to your room for a year does to you.

On the bright side, my wrists have been in a state of near RSI for the last six months, so at least I didn't go back on WoW or anything.

I should be hearing back from my doctor about the latest camera inside the body job within the week. If they've not found anything wrong with my small intestine either, I dunno what I...

I'm still ill.

I 'had' a colonoscopy sometime in July. Had is in inverted commas because to cut a long story very short it didn't go very well at all and was no fun for anyone involved. I had a tube stuck down my throat while I was having a nervous breakdown in the operation room since the doctor obviously didn't want to put the whole thing to waste. The ward's philosophy is 'Patient dignity' so go figure.

I'm going back for another one, probably on Friday. This time...

The condition of my right hand has gotten so bad that starting tomorrow I'm going to take a break from using my computer entirely for a few days to see if that helps

My right index finger is constantly numb and the wrist feels like it'll snap at any second. If I have got tendonitis then I'm only making it worse and worse by keeping this up

I'll probably get a support for both my hands. Just in case

Also in other news I actually quite badly need glasses...

WARNING BLOG MAY CONTAIN GROSSOUT

So for the past five months now I've had this nasty chronic gut condition. Basically, I feel fine throughout the day and then I eat dinner. What happens next amounts to about five hours worth of pain and suffering with sprinkles of nausea and occasional diarrhea.

I've been to the doctor pretty much every week during this time, and besides 'Oh it's IBS', there's not much they co do in the way of heping me about it. I've tried just about...

Holy shit Nate stop modding me while I sleep it's creepy.

Well, I say job. I have work now.

After seven months of looking for a job with no luck, the British Heart Foundation decided to open up a secondhand furniture and electrical store, like, ten minutes from my house. I volunteered and I now work there unpaid for twenty hours a week.

Work is fun and very fulfilling. Much better than sitting on my arse all day watching Annie May. The volunteers are a mixed bunch (Mostly young just out of secondary education, though there's...
