Bad day

Today has been a bad day. I started out late to work (because I needed to shovel the drive) and it kept going downhill from there. Work was boring beyond belief and I worked through breaks and lunches to make up the time for being late because I planned to go to knitting tonight. I [...]

Trying not to whine (too much)

Written this morning and not posted until evening: It hasn’t snowed properly for over a week, so obviously we’re now due for a big storm *sigh* It’s one of those annoying ones that was predicted yesterday morning as light snow, maybe 2cm, and is now being predicted as nearly a foot of snow and then [...]

Office move and other babbles

Will wonders never cease? My office move was actually fairly successful – for me. I’m hearing cries of “can’t get into any servers!” around me so obviously I was lucky. My boss insisted that it would be a smooth move, no problems at all, and for me it’s true. I appear to be almost the [...]

I aten’t dead

Last night I went out for Greek food with the knitters, which was fabulous fun with delicious food. Yay. At some stage in my life, I won’t be knitting blanket patches while I’m there. That will be awesome indeed.
Today my body dislikes me intensely, but I’m saying ‘neener neener’ to it and going out again [...]

Buttered eggs – help needed

I’ve been dipping into the Girls Own mailing list a bit lately and someone mentioned buttered eggs. It’s something that’s also mentioned in the Box of Delights: “Time and tide and buttered eggs wait for no man”.
As an aside, I love that book and the BBC adaptation. They’re perfect pre-Christmas reading or watching, although the [...]

That river in Egypt

The lurking headache is not turning into a migraine, no matter what nausea I have. Nu-uh. Because I have new episodes of BSG to watch tonight! An entire evening of BSG mania on Space!
So far my plan is:
1. Vacuum the house when I get in, so I don’t have to do it tomorrow.
2. Have long, [...]

Sea mist

This morning was incredibly cold. We’re talking so cold that I coughed every time I took a breath outside, that cold. I seem to be handling the cold better than the snow, though.
That’s not the point of the story.
It’s going to be a clear day and I’d forgotten just how beautiful the day can be [...]

Coming to England

I have just purchased my tickets – I will be flying into Heathrow on 18th Feb and leaving on 3rd March. Woo-hoo!
Redemption 09, here I come.
And look out London yarn stores.
Heh.
Now I need to book the time with work and all is sorted. Yay!

Two sock weather

It is Cold today. -14C with a windchill taking it to -25, a predicted high of -11C with the windchill keeping it at…-25. I have so many layers on. I even put on two pairs of socks to protect my tootsies. The second pair is now sitting in my desk drawer, ready to be put [...]

Ah, how I love doctors

Dear Doctor M,
I’m sure you’re a lovely person, really, and I can tell that you are probably a competant doctor. However, we need to talk about your records and filing.
You see, I gave you all the paperwork from my previous doctor which included my medication list complete with quantities. You even said that you’d log [...]
