working on it

Have spent much of today asleep -( Am cutting this, 'cos I seem to have gone on a bit about health and general anxieties and stuff too dull to inflict without a cut - enter ye at your peril )

I've been burning discs, just need to work out how to send them, I don't have any cases, I guess they'll be okay lose in a padded envelope or something. I will see what I can find. :)

Ooh - should have checked my oil and water I suppose - by which I mean I should have looked pitifully at my father and asked him to 'show me how to do it' again... I'm a pathetic excuse for womanhood. But I like my Dad looking after me.

Ah well, I shall go an take my anxieties to bed. :)

I have been so up and down today. Incredibly low this morning. Felt kinda helpless, which I don't really understand. Definitely just going through the motions at work (I didn't actually see anyone, just shuffled paper). The only thing I enjoyed was gate-keeping reports. I was a bit clumsy too, which is crap. However G brought me in a slice of his birthday cake so that was cool. Home made carrot cake.

Mum came round and did my washing up - that was good. Oh and I had pancakes which were lovely (told my friend - she sent me numerous texts reminding me how unhealthy and fattening they were. I know this.)

---

Scrubs was on - the episode where Carla and Turk are having marital probs. One tiny section - Carla goes to visit her mother's grave. Low key. Not a big dramatic moment - but I started crying - and I mean proper sobby type crying, not just pretty watery eyes. Odd. Bloody hormones. I never used to do PMT like this - not for years. I get bad pains, and am grumpy on the first cple of days related to the pain, but these last two months I have been crap beforehand. Bah

---

However - I have gotten some fabulous feedback for my fic - so I was beaming when I came home from work! Wasn't sure whether to post even (PMT insecurity plus unbeta'd) but went for it this morning - glad I did now. I know FB isn't the be all and end all, but it doesn't hurt!
Will respond individually tomorrow.

( this is the picture I was gazing at when I wrote it! )

The new girl at work seems to have decided I am great. (Which is an entirely logical conclusion.) Her discovery of this however means that she keeps coming in to my office to talk to me. Regular visitors to my brain will know that I am not overtly sociable... She 'popped in' 8 times today! 8. I guess I am too helpful. I caught her cheating though! She was supposed to write a paper without accessing my report to do so - but she cheated and didn't realise the computer would tell me. Tee hee.

---

That's it!

Heh - my boss spent some time today telling me all about a hotel she stays, where the decor is very "homoerotic", with lots of images of young men in trunks (a la 1940s/1950s Burt Lancaster From Here to Eternity style bathing costumes) and draped around! Heh! I wanna go. She describes the wing as very Cape Cod, and shabbily genteel. Sounds fab - somewhere 'Up North' apparantly!

The training I was supposed to go to in Witham next week has so far today been cancelled, been reinstated, been cancelled, been relocated to Mildenhall and is now 'on hold.' As it's a four day training course I kinda need to know to arrange care for cats, travel and to wean myself off teh internet (I def need a laptop!)

Hee - I was doing some background reading today prior to writing a report (putting it off, 'cos it's a really manky report and I'm struggling) and the research was around internet paedophile/sex offences - there was a questionnaire included that is apparantly used in some assessments - some of the questions were clear and logical as to the route/reasons for inclusion. Others were less conclusive ie "Have you ever spent more than 3 hours in one go connected to the internet" or "Have you made friends onthe internet who share your interests" (and these aren't specific SO questions at this stage). And then there are the truly obscure - such as "Can you remember speaking with someone who wears glasses" and "Have you ever been for a drive in a car" - I mean what the hell?
None of it helped in the writing of the report though,I spent best part of the day finding other things to do, walking aimlessly round the building, or staring blankly at the screen not wanting to start. bleurgh.

Um. Anything else?

PAH

Really crappy day. got worse. (insert lots of whinging here, really can't even be bothered to type it all). Came home.

I thought I'd cheer myself up with next dose of S&H. Can't go wrong... So which episode am I up to?

Starsky's Woman.

That worked then.

(yes, I know it was stunning, PMG broke my heart. That's the point!

Now I'm looking at old newspaper cuttings instead...
( Lookee.. Starsky with a beard and he's more beautiful than ever )

Think I'll go back to lydia_petze post now and read some of the porn!Fic she was recommended. That might cheer me up!

I lay awake till gone 4 last night - then kept waking up for the remaining few hours before I had to get up. Consequently I am very very tired, and consequently very emotional.
vis: I cried when the postman came and didn't bring me the Starsky & Hutch dvd!!!
In my defence, I had my day planned around this - I am painting my bathroom, and had S&H planned for lunch break and then later as a reward for completion. Yes I am Sad. Yes I am obsessive and slightly odd. What of it? I did get a letter telling me I will be getting a pay rise of almost 5k! Which was nice. And My Borstal Boy book arrived - So I have something to read now I have worked my way through the Neil Gaiman books I bought. But even so.

Also naarmamo us finishing today and this is sad. I do not have bannerish thoughts/ideas either yet.

I have to go and paint some more bathroom now -I am peeved as the white is gonna need a second coat and I'd hoped I could get away with just slapping on the one. Thanks Goodness it's such a small room.

Whinge over (for the minute)

I came home today to find a dead rat in my sitting room. One of the perils of cat ownership combined with cat flappery. It's not the first creature I've found, and this one had the bonus (from my perspective of course) of being dead and therefore not flying/running/hopping about the house squealing and shedding feathers and shit. Not quite sure then, why the sight of this creature reduced me to hysterical tears. hmm. -My dad is a sweetheart tho, instead of me stoically gathering the corpse for a dustpan disposal as normal, I phoned Mum - she told dad, and even before she'd twigged that I was aweeping and awailing he was on his way round to rescue me. -(He was a bit shocked therefore when I opened the door tearstained and sobbing, but dealt with the additional crisis admirably!)

After this storm had passed:
I took my injured chum to Kessingland to the opening of a new gallery and on to somerleyton for a party - abandoned her there tho and went on to a bbq held by another friend. Now I'm going to have a scone and clotted cream, and a nice cup of coffee. then bed.

oh and I'll cut the rest, cos other people's dreams not really interesting:-
( Read more... )

I have the attention span of a gnat at the moment.
I think my nephew infected me with more than a cold last week - At work I have a trillion things to do, a pile of which MUST be completed by tomorrow - yet I type a paragraph, then sit and stare at the wall - it appears in fact, that staring at the wall is possibly the only thing that doesn't bore me at the moment.

I am reading voraciously, getting through D&P books at the rate of 2 every 3 days, and this is all I can focus on.

I can't be bothered to watch tv or any of the many many unwatched dvds, I'm ignoring Big Brother and haven't turned proper telly on for days - since Thursday when I watched the going in BB.

I even got bored waiting for the water to boil today!(mind you that's so much better since we got our anti-social kettle).

blahdeblug.

I 'booked' my central heating today - that's £5k gone in a flash, but at least this winter I won't be huddled in front of the puta with 7 different layers on. I can't decide whether to get a nice new gas fire (one that looks stylish and warm and homey, nothing mank) to go with, or whether I just won't need it? there's something kinda psychological about seeing flames in winter.. I don't know.

pooh - have only just realised that Dalziel & Pascoe dvd isn't actually out till Spetember. poo.

Also, my freeview box is really crap at the mioment and gives me less channels than proper tv - do the aerial booster things help with freeview signals?

All these silly puzzles.

I will send my sweepstake thing Friday by the way..

I could sit here now just hitting the keyboard with random letters, but probably not very productive. I think I will go and have some malt loaf instead.
