a wee question for you all

There are two main foci for my thoughts today:

Is the future bright?
Wee (or rather, my lack of)

Question that has bugged me before, but really irritated me just now while I sat staring at the hook on the back of the door and still failing to get anywhere. I didn’t realise that my own worst enemy [...]

what am i, a fucking pharmacy?

 
Oh, and don’t forget that first thing in the morning I also take Femodene so imagine (if you want to) a little tiny white pill in with all that lot as well. Seven days of these fucking stupid tablets - the little yellow and white ones four fucking times a day.
I am fucked off.

i have had enough of this

In the space of a matter of hours overnight, the bladder problem worsened. We’re talking real problem with weeing and when I do succeed (and believe me, succeed is the only word to use here), everything is pink because of blood. There’s also back pain. I am unable to sit for too long, unable [...]

0218 hours

I totally crashed out last night. My tummy and bladder problem was just hanging around all day, draining my energy which was good because there was so much nervous energy humming around me that I might have exploded without it. I met TBD for a drink but it waas cranberry all the way and I [...]

I stupidly read my horoscope this morning. Three different sources. All are bad:
Mixed messages can excite you one moment and then take the wind out of your sails the next. You may be led to believe that others will come to your aid only to discover that your needs may not coincide with theirs. If [...]

earthquake bollocks

I had a terrible night’s sleep last night. I was shattered when I hit the sack. I didn’t even bother drying my hair off after a hot bath, just collapsed under the covers and felt my heavy eyelids droop. But something woke me. And after that I was tossing and turning all night. I eventually [...]

together we can try to change the world

I know some of you wonder whether my supporting ladies who are coming to terms with precancerous changes and cervical cancer diagnoses is a wise idea.
Sometimes I wonder if I am indirectly doing myself harm by continuing to engage with Jo’s Trust and not making a clean break, drawing a line under what happened at [...]

odds and sods

Crammed into a Southern train carriage this morning, I noticed a man doing the sudoku puzzle in this morning’s edition of The Metro. Nothing unusual about that of course. I do wonder what ticking each completed line says about someone though? And when he finished the entire puzzle he put a big tick through the [...]

21 february

Today would be…
My 3 year anniversary with Beardy
My 8 year anniversary with First Love (isn’t that a little odd that I got together with two separate guys on the same day but 5 years apart?)
It is also The Mother’s birthday. She is in LA irritating Americans and leaving me in peace, hurrah!
It is also exactly [...]

mentally drained

My mobile rang this morning. A witheld number. I thought that it must be a recruitment consultant or someone calling about the PR work I am about to get involved with for Jo’s Trust, so I cheerfully answered.
The voice on the other end of the line cracked and wobbled tearfully. It was one of my [...]

poorly

I have spent today crippled by the worst pounding headache you ever knew. I haven’t been able to move from bed and have slept for most of the day, getting up to have a shower, but then returning to bed straight after.
I met with Fire Man last night for a few drinks though. I looked [...]

soupy shows a sweet side

There’s a low feeling in the office this afternoon. We’re never exactly climbing the walls with excitement or joy here, but usually people feel alright and there’s a fairly decent feel about the place. I like my peers at work. We are a good team. I don’t think the managers could manage their way out [...]

monday catch up

Sorry all, but I am not in the mood to blog today. I’m tired and stressed out and fed up as usual.
But briefly:

Had a great long weekend away from the stress and noise of London.
I am the most well-behaved pillion The Mechanic has ever known. He says it is a dream riding with me.

As I am a bit of a soup connaisseur (some might even say that I am The Last Word where soup is concerned), I thought I would share the following with you.
Although it looks like a bowl of vomit and diarrhoea, Covent Garden Toulouse Sausage and Puy Lentil soup is actually rather nice.

valentines day part 3: fire man’s effort

I know this will seem really mean and that I shouldn’t laugh about this, and I don’t want to appear ungrateful, but…

I had almost forgotten that he even exists! It does seem a little pathetic [...]

what is she wearing?!

I am not usually a bitchy person when it comes to petty things like a choice of outfit, but when I got to the bus stop this morning, I really had to do a double-take at this woman’s odd coat and hat combo. Just what was she thinking when she bought them? It looks like [...]

bloggers together: unite for Warchild

you don’t want to know

My camera phone has not done these bruises justice. This is two days later and they are deep blue and green. Just take my word for it that they hurt, and that when Polly went charging headfirst into my knee yesterday evening while having a mad half hour on my bed, I actually yelped out [...]

I am so tired. I am always tired. Do I need to go to the doctor about this? Constantly fatigued. Can’t be bothered to type.  But I have news, news that I want to share with you.
Over the weekend, things happened. Apart from me being tired.
