Progress...

dennyThree paragraphs into a discussion of how well life is going just now, and my PC crashes. Bah. *starts again*
So... I seem to be experiencing an unexpected but entirely welcome lessening of depression this last week, along with some long overdue enthusiasm for the idea of Getting Things Done™. This has resulted in me actually making my way to the bottom of my long-standing pile of unopened mail, and having dealt with every single item in it on the way through too. Those who've seen said pile will appreciate the magnitude of this accomplishment - there were something like six months of evaded problems in there.
I've also decided that my leg can damn well get better, now, thankyouverymuch. I'm fed up with it. To this end I've started carrying my cane around with me (in case of need) over the last two days, rather than using it to lean on at all times. I have to say, ouch... but the progress is gratifyingly noticeable already. I'm feeling quite confident of doing away with the thing in the reasonably near future now. I've found that I seem to limp less when I stride along at a fair pace, rather than taking it easy... I suppose that's what my muscles were used to before all this excitement.
In less brilliant news, I've just reached the end of another batch of rejections, with no outstanding applications left... still looking of course, but it's always disheartening when I hit these patches where everyone I've applied to lately has decided they don't want me. I suppose I should be glad that at least I'm getting plenty of interviews - I'll just have to hope that sooner or later (sooner, please!) I get interviewed by somewhere that decides I'm exactly what they're looking for.
In the course of doing the paperwork, I found out that my debts aren't quite as large as I thought they were, though still substantial - I'm up to just over 45k of debt, when I thought it was just over 55k. Interestingly, my house has almost exactly 45k of equity in it, so that's handy. Presuming my sister comes through on this purchase, I'll be back at square zero - not a bad position to be in once I find a job.
