I would like to think that I have not blogged in TWO MONTHS because I have been jet setting around the world, or i've been in prison, or even, I've died and came back to life, but unfortunately nothing quite as exciting as that has held me back from blogging to the world (hmmm or the 2 or 3 people who read this!)  I generally update my blog whilst I'm at work and everytime i've gone to start typing a new post something distracts me and I don't get around to it.  BUT I'm MAKING the time to do it NOW!  I've got all types of news today!

Lets get the sad news out of the way...

The Singing Man
Unfortunately, U2's favourite groupie has not been seen nor heard of since Christmas.  I'm actually pretty gutted about it.  It's just a complete mystery as to where he's gone.  He definitely looked like he lived nearby as he was forever walking past with bread and milk, but alas, maybe he has moved away...or he's been issued with an asbo and is doing time in Saughton (Edinburgh's answer to Guatanamo!)  Oh how I miss his dulcet tones.  Incidentally - did you know that saying "I thought I heard your dulcet tones" is actually a compliment.  It wasn't after hearing it for years and saying it to others that I actually looked it up on Wiki (via Google!) that it's actually a compliment because 'dulcet' means gentle or lilty.  Anyway, randomness over; continue with original train of thought!

R has gone sick today so i'm having to man the phones and I swear if the phone goes one more time this morning I'm going to scream!  I hate answering the calls and the 8 lines are so busy all day!  Grrrr!

Here goes with the good news:

University
I have decided to go ahead and try to get on a nursing course and try to obtain a degree in nursing!  I've decided that that's what I want to do and I can't wait to apply to see if I can get on a course!  Woohoo!!  I'll keep you updated on what happens with that.

I've got an exciting latter part of the year coming up!  In June I've got a good friend's wedding to go to and then the next day at 7am (it's going to be either a sober wedding or a hungover flight!) I fly down to London to see Rage Against The Machine at Finsbury Park.  They promised to do a free gig in London if they won the Christmas No.1 with Killing in the Name of and they did and so now they are!!  I managed to get El Roostio and I two free tickets and so we're going down to the gig.  I really think it's going to be the gig of the year.  Those who have tickets for it have been able to vote for who we want to support RAGE and if the band is free that date then they are going to do it!  I've voted for System of a Down, Karnivool (an Australian band which RAWKS!) and Kings of Leon.  Think we're pushing it for System, but wow if they do it!

In September I'm going back down to London with my big sis to see Muse at the O2 Arena and that's guaranteed to be another jaw droppingly good gig! 


Okay, so I started writing this blog a week ago, then as per usual, I got distracted and it's sat as a draft since then.  I'll finish it up now.

I have been having issues with my right wrist recently.  I initially thought it was RSI from working with a PC all day every day, but as the weeks have gone by the true cause of the pain has started shining through (not the right phrase, I know).  I have been diagnosed as having damaged my Suprasinatus (I know, sounds like a dinosaur!).  It's basically the 4 muscles that sit round my shoulder.  So the pain is not just in one spot now, it's right down my arm to my fingers, right across the top of my back, right up the right side of my neck and round and under my shoulder.  I'm having to get physio on it, but until it's fixed, I have to have deep heat on it, i'm on really strong pain killers and I can't write/type (I know i'm typing just now but i'm fighting through the pain, ok!)

So that's my update - i'm sure there's more, but I can't focus enough today!

Rhona out.
