still better than no muffins

[schneefink]

I finally had ideas for a post and maybe even Yuletide treats, but all that was ruined by the fact that my wrist is hurting again. Usually it's the right one, this time the left; every time I think this one should be easier because I'm right-handed, but I keep underestimating how much I use the left one and I'm not used to being as careful with it. Boo.

Tomorrow is my last day at this job, which is good (if I manage to find a new job quickly, but I'm trying optimism even though I hate looking for jobs. To do starting January, next to lots of classes and exams.) I wanted to bring a cake to the office, but I couldn't find the cake pan I wanted so I made muffins, and I looked away for five minutes and they're burnt on top. Again. Annoying.

Tomorrow afternoon my flatmate's mom comes to stay with us until Christmas, which is fine; I just hope she's not interested in my room because, uh, I did not get around to cleaning up most of it. (I had a few hours of unnecessary anxiety-induced not doing anything in the past few days.) I do now have a person-sized teddybear that I'm borrowing from LB while he's out of the country for three weeks, excellent for hugs. (Its name is Bärnd.)

Ugh, job searching. :( It's such a hassle! But you totally got this, I'm pretty sure January is a really good time to hunt! I'll be doing the same thing. :3

And I certainly hope that your flatmate's mom isn't interested in your bedroom! That would be weird. Do not enter, flatmate's mom!

Fingers crossed, and good luck to you too!

It's fine, she's very nice :)

Aww, it's great you get to borrow the bear!

[schneefink]

It is a great bear. (LB got it from his ex-gf and it's unclear if it was a loan or a gift, and I'm very much hoping for the latter so he can keep it.)

Oh, no: hurting wrists! I had my share of that experience when I started my apprenticeship and the radiologist had just mumbled something about surgery and ruptured tiny bones of the wrist, and I was like, "Wtf, man?" And went to a very nice osteopath who actually helped a lot. I'm glad these times are gone. I hope yours passes soon! Take care of yourself.

Also, what did you do with the muffins? Frosting of Despair or did you trash them?

Your flatmate's mom... had she been interested in your room before? :D

It will pass soon, and then a few weeks later it will come back. I really should try and get physical therapy.

Fortunately they were chocolate muffins so the black wasn't too noticeable and they tasted okay, so I just brought them as they were and people liked them. I clearly need more practice though.

I'm quite sure she doesn't care what my room looks like, she only looked before it was furnished more because of the flat layout, but I often feel guilty for not cleaning it up better so having a guest, even in another room, just makes that worse ;)

I hope your wrist is feeling better soon. Every time I hurt a finger, I always marvel at how much I used it.

Best of luck finding a new job in the new year! /fingers crossed/
