Today is not going well

I just threw a coffee at husband.
After I kicked bathroom fittings
and told him "I'm sick of you, get out of my sight"

12 weeks of effort for fuck all.

Updates ahoy

Well not updated here for ages but here goes:

1. Picked my management speciality for 3rd year, I took medical, that means for 13 weeks I'll be on a medical ward almost running on my own. Not the ward obviously, just me and my patients. Scary stuff.

2. Derby going well, sat an additional part of my minimums last night and now I get to skate with the big team twice a week, Wednesday AND a Sunday. For just now anyway. If y performance starts to falter I'm out!

3. Got new skates. And two new sets of wheels, and bearings, and toe guards. I am so in love with this skating its unreal. Looking forward to a bit drier weather and then I'll be skating outside too. Love the practice and can't wait til I'm officially "in" the team. Hopefully.

4. Weight loss going better. Have lost a stone in the past two weeks so thats sailing along nicely. Still got a good whack to go. Proving challenging to balance derby with a reduced calorie intake but I'll see how I go, as I go. Like I say challenging but not impossible at the moment.

5. Going to London for a big game in March. Very excited about this. Was thinking about the bootcamp they have there but dont think I'll have passed all my minimums by that point, and its also quite expensive. So I'll stick with the great girls at GRG and their training.

Thats it for now....

So. Looking for new wall art?

A friend of mines has recently taken his photography hobby up as a business. Now I know that I probably have vested personal interest in this as like to see my friends doing well and that, but, his work is actually really rather good.

Prints are available framed or unframed, and prices are quite reasonable. So have a wee gander at his website, and keep it in mind if you are looking for any wall prints for your house, or know anyone who is and steer them in his direction.

Pie! Critical mass!

POst Christmas, new year and birthday weigh in: 14st 13.5 lbs

Oh I cried.

Back on the diet train today - will keep you all updated. Also am going to OverEaters Anonymous meetings now (don't laugh) as I have a serious problem with food. I have issues I need to address and tackle on a psyche level.

I feel ashamed.

Movin' on up!

I passed my roller derby exams!

This means one more tuesday at rookie practice and then I move up to a wednesday.

There are areas I still need to work on, but by fuck I passed!

I don't feel any different to a few days ago in my skating technique, but I do feel proud of myself.

I was more nervous about my skating exam yesterday than the liver presentation we did for class.

We bought a new car!

DO NOT TELL MY MOTHER IN LAW YET. REPEAT. DO NOT TELL MY MOTHER IN LAW YET.

We bought: A BMW 3 series. Its huge.

And I've booked plane tickets and a hotel to that LONDON! Going to watch my derby team play against a london team, as well as a bout with the Texas Rollergirls. Only the ORIGINAL revival team circa 2002.

I have the excited.
