uh oh

it's not going to be a fun evening ahead.....

cards & knickers

spent the evening watching spooks and writing christmas cards - no mean feat as you have to concentrate quite hard on both elements. Posted them today (minus passport this time) and now have to venture into the room to find all my decorations.....

As well as sending the cards - I posted a pair of knickers to a random stranger too. All part of a "knicker chain" - bit like a chain letter but without vodoo curses if you bin it, and the hope/bonus that you might get 36 pairs back to you in the post(all clean one would hope). If you're a female mate/relative reading this then be prepared - there's probably a letter in the post for you as we speak! Blame Lizzie Nash/Tozer, it's her fault!

improvements

Ok I’ll stop whinging now and try and write something that people must not want to throw me out of windows for! Life got a bit depressing due to high workloads but I need to chill out today as I had to go back to the nurse for another blood pressure check yesterday and it was still high. I was hopeful that losing weight would make a difference but clearly not. Perhaps I’m just naturally a high blood pressure person – must be a redhead thing. I don’t shout, just get my blood boiling instead!

So onto happier things, well it’s Thursday, and I have Friday off which makes effectively Friday! I’m out tomorrow night celebrating a friends 40th – how scary is it that I have friends who are 40…..! Then on Sat I get to dress up as a Mexican and drink tequila – fabbo!

Christmas shopping is taking it’s toll. I may try and get some more done tomorrow but it’s all such hard work. But in a way the idea of buying things on the internet just doesn’t really work for me, it’s like you loose a bit of the Christmas vibe if you don’t get stressed in Boots, want to karate-chop the little old lady in the queue in front of you and run screaming through the streets wearing nothing but tinsel and reindeer deely boppers shouting “bah humbug”.

The other exciting thing is my living room is about to change colour. God I hope I like it, interior decoration was never really my forte, as those who saw the living room in my last house would agree!

brief respite

still fed up, but with occasional spouts of enjoying life.

Such as seeing The Incredibles on Sat.
..... and eating Yorkshire Pudding for my tea
....... and fitting into a pair of size 12 jeans for the first time in years
............ and getting a big hug off my man


but other than that I'm still fed up.

it's not getting better

Despite a small respite last night with curry, The Mummy Returns and the company of a nice man, I am back to my winter blues today.
Work is pants, weather is pants, life is pants,

pant pants elasticated pants.

blues

I've got the Tuesday evening blues. There's sod all on TV, I'm bored and I've not got the energy or motivation to (in the words of quality tv shows - ) "go and do something less boring instead". Oh to be motivated, oh to be inspired, oh to be on holiday again. Bugger.

dilemma...

well, back off my jolly's, with the merest hint of a suntan (4 more freckles) and covered in mosquito bites. I have an important meeting tomorrow of the recruitment kind - the dilemma I face is do I go there smelling of Anthisan or do I sit there scratching like I have fleas? Tough call.
