Just finished Ender's Game, which is a pretty good book. Now I can't see anything on my bookshelves that I want to re-read again yet - I've been hitting my book collection quite hard lately, partly due to simple boredom, but largely for escapism purposes, and I've worked through all the good stuff at least once, two or three times in some cases.
I now feel quite miserable - escapism withdrawal. Letters from lawyer that I opened this morning hasn't really helped - the wranglings drag on, and I'm in one of those moods where I can see the many potential endings where I get totally fucked over a lot more convincingly than the ones where I actually get some sort of justice out of the whole thing.
Money is not going well at all... I'm into borrowing against my credit cards again now, which is a losing game but I don't have any other options. I'm very concerned about trying to find work - I know there are more skilled people out there than me who've been looking for long months, and that's pretty scary. I've been living in the middle of a huge framework of debts for years now, and it's not standing up well to the sudden withdrawal of my income - let alone to the possibility that I might not be able to reclaim all of what I've lost through this accident.
I've run out of steam here - I've just sat staring at the cursor blinking for the last ten minutes or so - so I might as well hit 'update' and go back to investigating the bookshelf. Must be somewhere on there that I can escape to...
