Recent Attempts and other Updates

My most recent attempts to be diurnal are meeting with mixed success.

My most recent attempts to be diligent and productive are meeting with even less success. I have, however, been making progress on the world building necessary to forge onwards with my writing.

My efforts to finish recovering from my flu/cold have plateaued. Hopefully I will not have a cough at my choral performance this Saturday. I am looking forward to it (the singing, not the coughing). I am practicing my wee titchy solo at random moments throughout the day, every day. I've also been faithfully plugging the performance, quite a feat for me since I'm usually too shy. But I mentioned it to a few people at church, told my whole weekend role playing group, announced it at International Cafe, and plan to announce it at GUGS tonight.

Ron and I's attempts to make any sort of definitive decisions about far flung future times such as oh say January are still meeting with dismal failure. As stated earlier, there is progress with his immigration proceedings. But not much.

Our attempts at a job search are meeting with mixed success in the applying part (and dismal failure in the getting a job part, but if that had happened there wouldn't be a job search any more, now would there?). Ron's applied for a number (all right, a fairly small number...sigh) of UK jobs. He is still volunteering at his old lab to keep his experience fresh but this of course takes time away from job hunting. This week's focus should be applying for US jobs though.

Recent attempts to deal with the usual theological crises that arise whenever I'm in Scotland are not going well. I miss BREAK@8. I miss BPC. I miss churches that light advent candles. I understand Sandyford Church's reasoning in not following an ecumenical calendar but you'd think they could make an exception for Christmas!
