25/5

Worth waiting for? Yes;
Finally, after five years,
A happy birthday.

Still pending...

Oh lordy, I'm so crap at this regular updating lark.  Has it really been 2 months? 

The house situation is progressing, in that we've found one, and are now awaiting the survey.  As that has starting moving again (having got caught on the hook of finance and communications part-way), my own situation has hit a snag.  What I took to be an arthritis flare-up when it started, or maybe RSI from overuse, may be neither; it seems like it could be related to a mash-up of hormones and stress (and the stress then affects the hormones, so it's a bit of a nasty cycle).  Given the stress levels in the past month or so, this would make sense.  It does highlight how I really need to be eating better and exercising, and just generally trying to do the whole mindfulness thing a bit more... mindfully?

Along with that plan, I've finally got round to investigating Buddhism a bit more thoroughly, starting with the info over at Free Buddhist Audio (having met a number of the Triratna Buddhists, they seem like a pretty sound bunch.)  A retreat this year is looking unlikely now with the impending move, but it's nice to fill in some of the gaps with a bit more structured stuff.  Just have to start meditating again now...
