Wow, isn't it nice to be on holiday and to sit around writing exceptionally long blog posts?
Well, since then I've had my birthday and decided that I'm a grown-up now and should 'knuckle down' (which is such a grown-up thing to do, of course). This means studying every hour God sends and I tell you what, it's bloody knackering. (Did I mention I am doing a distance learning course funded by my work that I've so far shockingly neglected?)
Rather conveniently, I was also sent to another department as soon as I came back off holiday (doing a job that's a step up although not pay-wise) and so have a sandbox in which to exercise my new grown-up-ness. This involves studying before work and during lunch and not being seen dossing around on the internet.
Needless to say, I have fallen behind on many important internet duties. Ebay, paypal and blog.co.uk have all suffered. Not to mention I haven't even glimpsed Perez in days.
To be completely honest with you, I am dog tired at the moment. I can't believe it but my new work and trying to learn has left me run-ragged. I'm finding it really hard to find time to do things. Now for instance, I am blogging rather than doing the annoying virtual legal research skills practice I have scheduled myself...and I'm only blogging because I have left it for some long.
Anyway, time is slipping away from me these days and I can't keep up. That's what I wanted to say. You guys don't come here to hear about that so I'll leave it there.
After reading that, I hope you'll forgive me for being brief:
I lost 2lb at group last night. I was fairly disappointed (because that was after firstly being weighed with my shoes on) but decided my small loss was because I lost 5lb last week.
The group wasn't quite as heinously large this week. There were no people sitting on the floor!! My Foundation Crew, the cool kids, entertained the old-timers and I think we're starting to get along. I did actually LOL (and I mean the kind where laughter involuntarily and unexpectedly erupts out of you rather than a quiet 'oh haha, that's funny') a couple of times in group.
I have started to like Thai Chilli soup again, rather strangely. I have discovered that when it says 'Thai Chilli' what it really means is 'devoid of any chilli flavouring, add copious amounts of Tabasco if you want to stand any chance of tasting something remotely spicy'. I think the thing that really gets me excited about Thai Chilli soups is that they have those weird little chewy bits like in Pot Noodles. Dios Mio! Chewing something?!
Anyway, I really best be getting on. It's such a pain in the ass. My eyes are tired, my back aches, I can't concentrate. By the way, I doubt it's anything to do with Lighterlife in case you're putting two and two together. It hasn't been a problem so far. It's just a mixture of having really bad sleep lately (it didn't help, for instance, at 1.10am this morning when my mum woke me up to ask if I wanted to play with her sewing machine), trying really hard to study, getting up early and working hard. Oh yes, I'm a grown up alright.
Hopefully soon I will get the balance right. I mean well at least.

You can tell I'm tired, can't you - I haven't even given this post any tags. Oh shame on me.
I'm going to have a shower, watch Heroes and then sleep real good.
It's just a shame I can't knock myself out with booze.
I seriously considered it last night when my mum was sat on my bed using the sewing machine. I honestly couldn't believe it. Maybe she had been drinking?!
