Lots of things going on here. I'm still getting over being ill. I also almost lost my voice teaching dance aerobics - guess it may take a while to recover from the surgery.
I started working at a very busy office that reminds me of the girl's job in the Devil Wears Prada - except without the snooty boss. I'm actually enjoying it a great deal, and it's *such* a relief to see my bank balance starting to become reliable again! I'm hoping to somehow get this as a permanent gig. It's a tough old world out there and I am lucky to have found a job at all in my situation. The next visa I have to apply for may be trickier.
I sent in an audition form; we'll see how that pans out. Speaking of auditions, the play auditions are Monday! I am looking forward to that, although I'm exhausted.
A trick I recently learned: if you have microwave butter popcorn and no microwave, tear open the bag and put it into a wok with some olive oil on the bottom. Cover it and start shaking the wok when it begins to pop - AMAZING. Of course, you can do this with regular kernel corn as well, but it's particularly good with the microwave butter type.
I am going back into weightlifting, as part of my dedication to being more fit. There is a competition Oct 31st and I am going to enter. That should be interesting!
Otherwise have had a lot of fun at various pubs (only drank 1 night out of the last 16), listening to ceilidh music and teaching a bartender how to make absinthe properly. Once all of this is in place, I will begin to focus on my language learning and publishing my book again.
I am hoping that I won't remain sick too much longer.
