suzyscottdotcomWell, it’s been quite a while since my last non-server/web or transport/book post – just a few lines here and there.
State of the Suzy
Pills – I’m now completely off the Duphaston, and have had a number of feelings in the last few days and weeks. This could (probably) have been just “time of month” related feelings, as well as upset, insecurity, the usual. Not justified, but inevitable perhaps. We’ve both been feeling a little worse than usual this past week – and being stuck indoors with the weather didn’t help. Also, inbetween packs of my usual Estradiol Valarate - Progynova, I tried some of C’s Climival. Now, the only difference that I could see was that Progy are sugar-coated, but maybe my body missed one of the non-active ingredients. Or maybe things were just so bad, that it didn’t help.
So, the short of it is that I’ve managed to edge myself off this discontinued product, with no noticeable changes to the way I look, or long-term feelings. Now, lets see what happens over coming weeks and months…
Study – yes, indeed. This is to happen from the end of September, and I’ve signed up for two 30-point Open University courses, M150 and T175. These will take me to the end of June 2009 – by this time, I will be sure if I want to continue and go for a more advanced Computing qualification, or if I want to mix it in with some other units, and make a combined degree. To work with this, I’ve just purchased a new laptop running Vista. Lots of updates required, think I’ve got them all. I didn’t know my boss was an Open Uni graduate herself. Speaking of work…
Work – continues, as required now and then. I will be coming back to it around the start of my studies. The complete Helpline Independent Evaluation report that I mentioned before, is now on the web.
Moving/Caroline & the rest – was intending to be up north from next week, to start getting packed up. But, C is intending to go visit a former colleague in Berkshire next weekend… so, I’ve (somehow) managed to talk her into making it into a weekend away for the two of us – after all, C’s birthday is just a week away, and bank holidays aren’t really a good time to travel, if you can avoid it – but I will be in Scotland again soon enough.
Overall – feeling about the same as ever, some bad days, some good days. Made some significant progress over the last few days and weeks. (Admittedly, a few days did seem like I could not continue, but those were just a few…!)
