The Successes

• Take better care of myself - A complete success! Although I did fail somewhat at cooking all my own food (Bunni won't let me cook because I'm a disaster zone), I have got into the regular habit of going to bed around 11pm, and I now brush my teeth every single night. Oh, and my sleep is excellent because my PC is now in a separate room, so I don't have to worry about leaving it on.

Good lord... I feel like i'm just starting to come out of a very long tunnel. For the last 8 months I tried to cope without anti-depressants and I thought I was coping well, but in reality I was just sliding downwards so slowly that I didn't notice the decline.

Just got back from Centerparcs, and I'm glad to say that I had a pretty good time! Me and Alex opted for a restful sort of holiday as opposed to a busy activity-based one and it worked well.

Last friday I finally managed to get my paws on the 240 litre tank, CO2 addition systems, external filter, and plants, and now every day I seem to spend hours reading around the subject...

Being the lifetime student that I am, I spent the last week revising like crazy and worrying tons about the driving theory test I took at 3pm today. I guess the crux of my woes was that they changed the standards expected only two days ago and asked I sit 15 more questions in the MCQ part of the test.

Anyway, I need not have worried... I passed the exam with a mark of 100%. LOL!
