Yes, I am still alive. Updatey stuff follows. by purplepineapple 2005-02-08 02:13:12
In no particular order:

I'm working back at the Archives at uni. They have happily asked me to stay there full time until uni starts, so no more job worries for me. I also know for sure that I'll be working at my normal session-time job in the library.

Employment is always, on the whole, a good thing.

Except that I'm not working in a borrowed office this month, and have absolutely no computer access. If I want to check email, let alone anything else, I have to wait for a spare spot in the lab upstairs during lunch time - and I'm trying to take short lunches, so I earn more.....and I can't maximise lunch time by eating at my desk and working, because the work I'm doing prevents eating by the work.

grumble. I'm being deprived of so much computer time...I miss hanging out here, and having time to read all my LJ friends, and everything else I spend my hours online doing....

But then I think of the news my mom just gave me and I feel so shallow for complaining about that.

Over the last 2 weeks my dad has had 2 problems with chest pain. I think I mentioned this last week on here.... He went in for an angiogram this afternoon. Turns out he has 3 almost total blockages in/around his heart (I don't know details), including 90% blockage of his stent (put in place in 1997).

So next Tuesday he goes in for by-pass surgery.

*sigh*

Prognosis is good, I am told. I'm planning which day to go visit - need to check visiting times, in case I need to arrange time off, since the hospital (a VERY good one) is about 1.5 hours away from me. My mom works across the road from the hospital, and we have friends in the suburb next door, so she'll likely stay there while he's in the hospital, so long as they can find someone to care for Zienna (the feline family member).

So.

Now I'm going to find dinner. I am **THIS** close to giving up on my no-wheat/egg/peanut diet because it's just adding stress and annoyance.....I have no idea what I can eat tonight.

Our internet is being insane (our modem is having over-heating issues, so keeps resetting) so I may or may not be back around in the next few hours.
