11

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:41 pm by livies

11 is the number of days left before I return to UL. I’ve managed to occupy time up until now a lot better than I usually do. An unnoficial new years resolution of mine is to stop saying no to everything. I usually miss out on things because I feel too lazy or just can’t be bothered, so, as of two weeks ago, i’ve forced myself to do more. I’ve been to Dublin and back twice in the last week. First time round was with Patrick for a trip to the Young Scientist. Second was with Sarah to visit some friends. Good weekend overall. I encountered a budda bag for the first time and now want one. I hope to eventually replace my bed with one. Comfy++.

My x-ray results arrived last week in the form of a wonderfully early call from the doctor. My lungs checked out ok. My diaphragm is however another story. There is a ‘quirk’ in it. Apparently meaning one side is reasonably higher than the other. So, in a week or two I have to get a CAT scan to check everything is ok. I was stupidly tired that morning and didn’t ask the doctor any questions whatsoever, so I have no idea what the possible implications could be, but thankfully i’m not in the least bit nervous. Yet.

My new non-broken version of my phone arrived the other day. \o/ I will hopefully manage to not break this one.

My aversion to smoking seems to have gotten worse recently. I really cannot stand it, at all. I have very little tolerance for people who do. And the excuse used by plenty of people lately is ‘I could be hit by a bus in the morning’. And what? Poisoning yourself is ok because you may or may not be alive tomorrow? Winners.

Goodbye 2007

Christmas went well enough. My Christmas routine is still going strong. Lounged around on the couch watching a countless number of films, cracked open the tin of roses and drank a stupid quantity of ginger ale. Even got a bit of snow, lasted a whole 5 minutes, but the thought made Christmas that bit nicer.

Met up with some friends I hadn’t seen in a quite a while which was really great. However, saying goodbye to them again was not.

The winter cold is making its rounds at the moment. I have yet to come across someone who isn’t suffering from it. I’ve had it verging on 3 weeks now. A few days ago I thought it waranted a trip to the doctor. Turns out yes. Had a chest x-ray later that day, apparently I wasn’t getting a lot of air into my left lung, so I shall see how that turns out. But for now i’m on antibiotics and enjoying an excuse to rest a lot. The weather is miserable enough that I wouldn’t want to go out regardless of the reason. It is however, messing up my mountain biking. I haven’t been on a cycle in two weeks now, and considering I’m only half way through my tablets, cycling tomorrow is probably out of the question. /me sighs.
