Life is a bit mad at the moment, apologies for the less-often-than-usual rate of bloggage. We celebrated our one month anniversary yesterday (HD reckons it is therefore a luniversary - whoever would have thought I'd marry someone even more pedantic than me!) by going out for a curry - I think it's the first time that I've eaten at that particular restaurant where I've managed to finish the meal and not have to ask for a doggy bag. Twas very nice indeed.
Today I went to the hospital for a physio appointment. I haven't yet blogged about our honeymoon, but suffice to say I had a comedy fall during it and did some damage, and although I'm no longer walking like Herr Flick of the Gestapo, it's still not right and I have two appointments for next week as well. Hopefully they'll sort me out as it's starting to get very tiresome.
HD's job situation still isn't sorted out. We had some bad news about that today and so it is back to the drawing board yet again. I was meant to go to a Celtic Connections concert with some colleagues tonight, but I just came home instead because I was so wound up I wouldn't have enjoyed it. I just can't believe that we seem to be finding some really great jobs and then the employers turn out to be idiots.
My w*rk is manic. I am getting really stressed about my thesis and the fact that I'm giving a conference talk in March. I'm sure it will be alright on the night, but I can't think about any of it without stressing. Teaching restarted this week too, I wish I enjoyed that more. I have to do it, as that's how my PhD fees are paid, but I find myself really resenting the time it eats out of my PhD.
Oh yeah, and I think I'm coming down with Man Flu. Again.
However, on the plus side we'll have a new niece or nephew to get to know very very soon (imminently in fact), so that's cool.
