Essay day.
It's due tonight at 12am. Well, technically it's due 12pm, which was 7 minutes ago, but I'm milking the 'grace period'.
I hate that this is the second time I've left it til the DAY IT'S DUE. It's like Lincoln all over again. I'm such a shit student!! But oh well, I'm sure it WILL get done, so who really cares if it was written two weeks ago, or today? It's the same result, right? Right ;) Now I feel better.
Ugh... back to the writing.
I still can't walk. I can get around the house, to the bathroom, but it aches, it's hard to straighten up so I walk bent over and I doubt I could even walk up the street.
I'm a bit worried and sad about that.
We'll see.
Mood wise things are still fine. It's... strange. Like suddenly things were just fine. Either the med increase or the vitamins/cod liver oil/evening primrose oil. I'm worried it won't last but enjoying it while it's here.
The sun is... lovely. I wish I could go for a walk.
I sat in the garden and read a book yesterday. I felt peaceful, I caught myself smiling. Listening to the blackbird, feeling the warmth from the sun on my face. So lovely.
I want to start being a reader again. I love books. Recommend me any? Feel good books would be nice.
Got a leaflet through my door yesterday for a weight loss program in my town. Fair enough, I think it's like Weight Watchers.
But, I find their competition soooo irresponsible. What are they thinking?!?!?!
The comp is called "the biggest loser".
Join the Arriba Wellness Club Community Weight Loss Challenge and the biggest loser wins £300!
The person who loses the largest PERCENTAGE of body weight is the winner, so anybody can win! .
Prize money is 1st £300 2nd £200 & 3rd £100.
......
Am I being overly sensitive here or is this wrong? Encouraging people to compete to lose weight quicker than each other? I don't know about you but I imagine eating disorder or not I'd gladly starve myself in order to win £300. It's £300!! (think that's like $500 or $600 or something in that region).
It could trigger a relapse in someone or even encourage somebody to take their first steps into an eating disorder.
Losing weight shouldn't be a competition. Totally not good.
Hey, this entry is going to be a liiiitle different!! It's about MAKING MONEY!!
As you all know I'm jobless, and have been obsessing about money for a little while now. I've been joining various sites that offer money for various stuff (writing reviews, clicking ads etc).
Anyway I joined one called Swag Bucks, which is like google except when you search you occassionally get 'swag bucks' as a reward. These add up pretty quick and when you have 450 swag bucks you can redeem for a $5 amazon.com or amazon.ca gift certificate. Anyhow, I'm only about 60 points away from this, so points add up pretty quick. I think it works out that on average it'd take about 15 days but could be up to 20, not sure. You can also buy stuff in their store, obviously you have to save up more swag bucks but you can get anything from pens to an xbox. It's totally legit and everything, they even have a facebook page, twitter and a blog, with thousands of followers/fans.
Anyway the reason I'm going on about it is a) I find it amazing! and b) if any of you think they would find it amazing too, would love if you could sign up with my referral link - http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/leesahm .... if you do I get points when you get points (not forever, just until you've earned 1,000 I think). You could refer your friends then and also gain points that way.
So... if you like the sound of the site (read about it more on the site, I'm not good at explaining) and are considering joining, pleeeassseee I will love you forever if you join via me! I'm poor and want amazon vouchers! (I've asked if they can get a UK gift certificate added to the store, waiting to hear back!)
Thanks ladies.

Remember to go via this link ---- http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/leesahmNothing else.
Nothing personal against anyone, just for my own reasons.
I'll probably update about my assessment next week, though.
I hope everyone is doing okay and I'll speak to some of you soon.
Take care x
Eating is an issue but whatever, I'm sort of glad about it, I WANT to not eat a lot right now. I've got to go to the doctors tomorrow and he might weigh me so that's been on my mind the last couple days.

My routine right now is roughly 6am til 2pm (I don't work so I can get up as late as I want)
It's 5:43am right now and I don't know if I'm tired. But I should sleep. When I sleep I'm so tired and it's hard to get up. I do wake up several times though, but go back to sleep. I don't want to actually go to sleep beforehand.
It's annoyingggggggggg
I'm pissing myself off in livejournal lately.
I bought ice skates!!!!! I am so so so happy with them. It felt like Christmas, I swear. I kept the box next to me in the living room all night and wore them for about an hour as I watched TV. I even took photos (must upload here to brag). I bought them myself... which makes it less Christmassy, but I never never never buy myself things (I only babysit so ALL my money goes on the metro, food, rent and going out.. never material things that I can keep). I just kept looking at the box. Retail therapy, I fucking love it.
So today Enric took them to the ice rink... they have my skates right now :( I miss them... but they need sharpening. I won't get them back til Wednesday. But then next Fri me and Enric can go skating!! (did I mention I'm actually crap? but the idea is to learn, and buying my own skates was just to avoid spending money on skate hire every week)
And we've also googled places to go swimming here in Barcelona. There's one place which is 6:50 euros per day and you can use the jacuzzi and SAUNA as well. A sauna! I've never used one before, I googled all the health benefits and it's amazing for getting rid of toxins through sweating... so cool!
I still have marks/scars from where I cut my leg in a rage about, what, a month ago? More I think. They're just temp scars but bugger me when are they going to go? Luckily I have to get my swimming costume sent over from England so I have at least a little while longer for the scars to fade. Awkward.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend,
Lisa xx
edit: We also ordered online tonight and I bought only healthy food.
