As with everyone out there, I have a few challenges that I need to face on either a daily basis, or quite regularly.

Firstly, upon my return from oversees, my hayfever has gone into overdrive. My eyes water constantly (24/7...no exaggeration), I sneeze uncontrollably at least 3 times a day and my eyes itch so badly, I've actually succeeded in damaging the soft skin around it a couple of times...rubbing it (a big no-no...I know.) Because of the fact that I have to wipe the tears away all the time, the skin has become a bit raw, and I try my hardest to keep my hands away from my eyes, washing it and disinfecting as much as I can...but it doesn't always help.

Okay, so apart from the hayfever, there's still the challenge of finding a job. It's been over a year, and I still haven't changed jobs. It's hard...really hard...financially and pscyhologically.

And I'm still single.

But here's the clincher. My spirit is much lighter than it has been in quite some time. Why? God.

Not much has changed on the hayfever front, but I've landed more interviews in the past couple of weeks...and I'm still single, but my moments of happiness seem to last longer.

The one thought, in all of this, keeps my head up high: God knows me, He knows my heart, He knows my passions, and He knows the plans He has for me. He wants me to prosper in every single aspect of my life.

And you know what? I trust Him completely. He'll never let me down...I just know it!

A small testimony: We started advertising for the production we'll be doing at our church, and I started with the dance rehearsals this past Monday. Last week Thursday 3 people showed up for the info evening. On Monday we ended up being a total of 11 people at the rehearsal. Awesome!

Computer, Congestion, Choreography

Nothing messes up my day like techno-PMS!

Laptop; the big, fat operative word here is LAP, right? Created to be mobile, easy to use and move around. Well, mine seemed to have missed that memo. Even moving it ever so slightly, caused it to freeze up on me, making my temper flare up. After a while I decided to have it checked out. The verdict? Completely done for! Problems with the motherboard, and the only solution is to buy a new one. Which I did, but I decided I didn't need a laptop this time. Got myself a brand new PC with all the Office and Windows programs already loaded and registered. Nice! But for the next 3 months, I'm going to be flat broke. No Christmas shopping.

Want to hear a funny story? I'm allergic to my bedding! Ha! I finally saved up enough money to buy myself a lovely new duvet set...and it turns out I'm allergic to something in it. Great. I'm taking it back at the end of this week. Funny.

And I'm finally done with the choreography for the production we're doing this term. I'm pretty excited, because rehearsals start next Monday and I'm hoping it'll be loads of fun. Ahhh! I love dancing.

That's it from me. Signing off...blip.
