on love

Today I have had a steaming hangover and have felt particularly blobby, upset about the increasingly noticeable double-chin, and had a pounding headache.
And Fire Man came over.
Hmmm.
No, he really is lovely. And he does appear to like me - more than I like him. But I really appreciated that he didn’t mind that I was [...]

Oh, and they want me in soon for an MRI scan. What is going on? Can someone tell me?

i could just cry

EG is away on holiday this week and part of next.
Left us doing the report - weeks behind schedule.
The Boss threw all the stuff at me the other day and told me to coordinate design.
“Fine,” I thought. “No problem.”
Except EG didn’t leave the data for graphs and tables to be inserted into the report and [...]

The NHS, god love it, is indeed the biggest pile of wank ever. Brown and his swindling sychophants cream off a whole bundle of my hard earned cash every month and spend it on BOLLOCKS!
You can hear the NHS groaning and creaking like a dead train, decaying in a forgotten and overgrown railway siding, probably [...]

today, I have been mostly…

Seeing the doctor about The Procedure and getting a self certificate for afterwards.
Cutting myself on a sharp staple and bandaging up with a plaster, thinking “ah fuck, that’s a great start.”
Putting eyedrops in my eye, which is akin to dying. The only thing that should ever be in your eye socket is your eye.
Taking all [...]

Guys like you regular commenters who always pop up and say the right thing. Sometimes I wish I knew you in real life. (Although, bearing in mind the honesty that prevails on here much of the time, and the associated lunatic-status that, by rights, you ought to have labelled me with many times over, I [...]

I should not be in the office today. I feel like shite. I look like shite. On top of the general shiteness that goes with having a bit of a bug, add an eye infection (fuck knows what happened to me overnight), and all round puffiness from bawling into the wee small hours.

weekend whinge

I am blogging from bed. That is always a good thing. But I am not supposed to be in bed. I am supposed to be up on the South Bank meeting The Doctor for some sort of breakfast/brunch. He called last weekend to say that he would be in London today and tomorrow for a [...]

I am off work today guys, feeling pretty horrendous but had to set alarm to call in sick so was dragged from the deep slumber that offered some solace from my pounding headache, heavy muscles and stiff back and neck by the beeping of the clock.

I am as cranky as cranky gets today.  The only way through the throng of complete cretins that overran Victoria this morning was to tut with such force that the sound crashed through and created a gap for my passage. There were more than usual. All just getting in the bloody way, just milling around [...]

I know you want to know what happened. Here we go.
I think I was unduly harsh on Fire Man prior to The Date. His text messages, although very flirtatious, do seem to have been relatively harmless. I think. Or maybe he is just very good at playing at being a gentleman and is really a [...]

sick with worry

This is nothing to do with tomorrow (or rather, today). But I was lying in bed earlier and a thought occurred to me. A thought that worries me very much indeed. It is such a terrifying thought that I can’t bring myself to share it.

And I know you want to know more about The Date, but I don’t really know what to say… prompts please.

I think I have changed my mind about this “harmless” flirting. It’s an unwise idea.
Today I am nursing a pretty hefty hangover as well. I anticipated last night was going to be a reasonably quiet one (by my standards anyway) as money is incredibly tight at the moment and I had to drive to Little [...]

Stretches - calf muscles, hamstrings, quads, abductors, triceps, 8 seconds each muscle

Feel shit today. Really, really shit. In an effort to minimise the outward evidence of aforementioned shitness, have dressed in very pretty clothes. Hope the combination of pink top and swishy skirt will help me feel more, well, pretty.

time out

I did nothing yesterday. Nothing much. Most of the day was spent lying in bed. Not even watching telly. I had the girls running about, but even they grew bored and snuck to the end of the bed and went to sleep in a warm little muddle underneath The Duvet. Nanu told me that he [...]

the mundanity of a humdrum existence

I must have had about 3 hours sleep in the last few days. Managed to drop off in the early hours of this morning, although the clock read 4.41 when I last looked at it. Because I haven’t been thinking straight, I forgot to turn off the morning alarm, so what little sleep I did [...]
