So, my resolutions for this year have changed slightly.
Earlier this week, I was diagnosed with tenosynovitis in my right wrist. I'm very right hand dominant. In fact, even as I type this (I don't touch type, but I do a damned good job of typing fast none the less), my right hand is up to 5 times more active than my left. Thing is, treatment for tenosynovitis is rest, and a brace. I also have to take ibuprofen each day.
So, I'm revising the resolutions. Especially since it now seems I have approximately 6 months in which I can't work (would you take on someone who is wearing a wrist brace or bandage? I sure as Hell wouldn't).
And, that brings me to my resolutions.
Margaret is returning to day care. She starts not long after Katharine and Isabella go back to school. That gives me around 6 hours a day to clean the house and do Something Else.
And study it is.
I'll be doing two courses, both by distance education.
After 6 months, if my wrist is still a problem, I'll still be able to get a job in real estate. Even if it is as a trainee. I'll have shown some personal initiative, you see. Something that should far outweigh an injury.

I'll be doing two courses, both by distance education.
- First off, I'm enrolling in a Real Estate Course. I'm going to study to become a property sales manager and auctioneer - both live stock and real estate.
- Secondly, I'm going to learn another language. The choices offered at basic and intermediate levels are French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese. I'm thinking I may take French. I did it for 4 years at high school, so its more a case of revising that, and going from there.
