09:42 pm - Hey there; long time no see!
Apparently, work (in its wisdom) has seen fit to give me back LJ. Thus, here I is. I realise I haven't posted in ages; so here's a big update. :)

General
Going back to Uni 21st July. Am absolutely petrified, but I'm sure I'll be okay. Have put in my resignation at work; they're happy to have me on as a casual over the holidays, yay!

Health/Fitness
Generally okay, apart from the permanent cold I have in winter. :P Taking iron supplements; apparently I was borderline anaemic (21 on a scale of 20-160), which doesn't help the chronic fatigue any. That particular blood test, I managed not to pass out, thanks to an anaesthetic patches on the draw site. Ha, take that, damsel-in-distress!
Have gone back to walking to work, having been okayed (again) by the physio, and feeling very unfit.! :( Continuing the exercises.

Love Life
No primary but plenty of people to fool around with. :P Happy as it is (simpler?).

Art/Writing
By the wayside at the moment, largely. Currently plotting a steampunk novel, featuring recognisable portraitures of varying friends/aquaintances as characters. :P
In the process of planning a couple of large paintings.

Costuming/Projects
If I haven't inflicted the piccies on you already... I finished both a Victorian dress and a Sharpe jacket.
I don't think many of you have seen the Victorian dress, though some of you saw the jacket at Zara's 21st. Here they are for those of you who haven't. I'm in the process of fixing the collar on the jacket so that it sits properly.
Next up on the costuming front: Catwoman catsuit for Scott's 'Villains' party, then an Edwardian outfit for the centenary of the Main Trunk Line (our MOTAT team has been working on L207, one of the key locomotives in the ceremony).

(I swear, I have to get a better picture of that jacket. I really do)

RP/LARP
No current tabletop RPs, but am planning on coming to the next St Wolfgang's game, having been persuaded by Lucy. I shall be a widowed lady who became a nun. :D

In other news: I hate Stagecoach. Second time in three weeks that the bus has just not appeared. *mutter* Laid a complaint and waited an hour for the next bus; thank god I'd planned to go early so that I could pop past Spotlight.
