You're Gonna Be Sick Of Me Today...

Sorry... You've caught me mid-ramble (and mid-attack of tummy cramps) at some ghastly hour of the morning (it's not really just before midnight), so let me get this waffle out of the way and then I'll bugger off to bed with the cats and leave you blog-hoppers in peace!

Well, that's me back at work again... Thursday was spent down town in the afternoon doing a bit of shopping - bought myself a new pair of shoes for work (how come none of the ones in the actual sales fitted me, and I ended up having to pay £34 for a pair?), and then went to visit Dad, who was sleepy, so I didn't stay that long.

Home via the supermarket to get a loaf of bread - that somehow ended up costing me about £30... Never, never, NEVER go shopping when you're hungry and tired! Then I lit the fire, made tea (my first microwaved tea in weeks... yes, I'm actually cooking... and, yes, I'm surviving my cooking - tonight's stomach cramps have got nothing to do with it!) and sat down to watch some telly. Discovered the special episode of Green Wing, so I watched that... that programme is so funny!

As I said, I returned to work today... woke up at 22 minutes past 8, and made it to work about 3 minutes after 9am... Oops... so much for New Year, New Attitude!

Work wasn't too bad really, but that may have been more to do with the fact that I only had today and tomorrow before I get a day off again...

Visited Dad again tonight... another sleepy one, so I left after about an hour or so. Came home, made tea, lit the fire (and then sat watching it for a while waiting for it to die down because I'd done too good a job lighting it) and had a cuddle with Harriet - my moggy, in case you haven't wandered across my blog before!

Oh, and I'm in pain... I was idly picking cold wax from inside the lid of a candle jar where I'd poured it weeks ago, and I have managed to jab under the fingernail of not one, but both, index fingers... I guess they're damaged or a little infected now, because my fingertips and nails are bloody sore (yes, I know it's my own stupid fault... thanks for sharing that!).

I've not made any resolutions for 2007, nor am I starting some big health kick, but I have started taking one-a-day multivitamins with every mineral from A - Z in them, and bought a pot of "minimize the wrinkles, make your skin look fantastic" cream to try and preserve my youthful good looks - What do you mean I'd be better off wearing the paper bag the shopkeeper put it in? Cheeky peasants... Go on, bugger off...
