On the 22nd of April I hurt my thumb. Colin was chasing me up the stairs trying to whoop me on the butt as you do and I went to defend myself and he accidentally bent back my thumb at a funny angle. My best bet at the time was that I had sprained it.
On the 23rd of April it was sore enough that he had to dress me… well you try doing up your fly without two opposable thumbs.
By the 24th of April I could dress myself but my thumb still hurt.
By the 30th it was sore at the extremes of mobility but not too much of a bother.

Unfortunately its stayed at that phase.

So now nearly a month after the injury I still haven’t regained full mobility… Is this a bad sign??

I’m young I’m supposed to heal faster than this!

Anyways its not an awful bother so I’ll put up with it but I’m going to be really cranky if it doesn’t get better soon. How am I supposed to play my Nintendo DS now!

This week is consulting week at uni otherwise known as STUVAC. So basically I have a week off uni to catch up on all of that stuff I should have been doing earlier. Generally for me this ends up being a bit of a holiday, generally spent watching tv, sleeping in and occasionally pretending to study and justifying why I can leave it until tomorrow.
So far this week (and yes I know there’s only been a day of it) I’ve been very busy, primarily cleaning the house but now that I can move around it without falling over and breaking my ankle I can get down to study which is what I intend to do today…

fun fun.

My blogger profile is now the first hit when you search Miriam Parkinson – with or without quotation marks on google.

Hooray for me!

I’ve decided I have bragging rights because

1. I used the internet for the first time in 1994 – When I was 7.
2. I’ve experienced the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in the order it was produced ie Radio series, book, tv series, movie.
3. I thought the HHGG radio series was the best thing since sliced bread when I was 5.

I have a feeling my dad brought me up to be a geek.

incidentally my first programming experience was at 11, writing a program in applescript which beeped incessantly at different volumes and then had a repeat program on the end and made it a startup item on my sisters computer. The computer couldn’t handle running the program and making it stop through the traditional method at the same time so it would always crash when she tried.
In the end I had to show her how to get rid of it.
