Knighthood

it's gone!

Over the past few weeks as you may know I've become rather fond of knighthood ... but about an hour ago it disappeared ... it's gone

I've heard cold turkey is bad ... now we get to see ... as if I've not got enough withdraw already!

luckily there is support group , well it's a start.

Flashback

Not near the eggs!

girls weekend

I'm having a girly weekend in, two girls coming down, dvd's and takeaway menus at the ready ...

cool.

also have completed Mr F film quiz thing which is fun (I'm in the process of checking the ones I didn't get!)

I'm going to try ... first have to choose 15 films, may have to do a few ... possible a chick flick one first ... what do you think?

door frames = evil

It has often been commented that "door frames are my natural predator" which is, unfortunately, harsh but fair.

I went out for lunch yesterday where the internal environment conspired against me.

I was attacked by a table, which grabbed my spasming foot sending me backwards, on my chair, into the door frame, door went nowhere, and was therefore just there to spite me, waiting to pounce!

one small lump came from the edge of the frame, however the door had glass panels, which I missed by not much, so not all bad.

next, and this is where the big bump comes from, fall sideways, in to the bobble near the base, on the top of the skirting board, ow!

Being unconscious at the time I have no actual evidence that it was a fiendish plot, but I'm sure they had blue prints and everything! Furniture being well known for it's vicious tendencies.

did scare the living daylights out of the little old ladies ... so not all bad!

still have a headache though, rubbish

missing phone

I lost my phone, found it again so all is well.

How ever my trip from the bedroom (upstairs), to the kitchen (downstairs) was a little to exciting for my liking ... as outlined below

1) get up from seat on bed, loose balance, sit back on bed.

2) get up again this time using chest of drawers for balance

3) scrap arm on aforementioned chest of drawers, check for blood, is none.

4) step forward, loose balance, bounce into door, then from door bounce in to door frame, still no blood

5) take a deep breath, step to the top of the stars, have a think, step back, send Ulrick down first.

6) back to top of stairs, brace arms, on on wall, one on ceiling

5) start to step, checking location of feet

6) get to bottom of stairs, take another big breath

7) walk towards kitchen, feeling still a bit dizzy so use wall for support

8) open the back door for an over excited Ulrick

9) forget what you were looking for that made you come downstairs

10) turn round to go back upstairs, see phone on the side near the pumpkins

easy! (& no major damage)

as an aside the reason I'm up is the new alarm clock, pricey but effective

Raptors

I've been on yet more medication, the whole cocktail of physcoactivity in not doing as well as I might have hoped.

Also I find my self not catching on to emb's scams fast enough, I think I may have just told him he can get a Harris's Hawk ... or at least do the falconry course, opps!

New alarm clock

I have a new alarm clock, it works! (Thanks to Da Josaphine.)

Unfortunatly I had a bad fit yesterday, slept very badly and feel rubbish.

More sleep needed

Five tree rings

Be woken up at late but not to late o’clock with a cup of peppermint tea (my fav morning drink) by my much beloved emb. Chat, open cards, and be generally sickening.

Then got a phone call saying you didn’t get the job you applied for (optional). (On the plus side they told me when they said they would, and I got good feedback). Have friends phone and be congratulary on anniversary, and positive about interview.

Eat light breakfast, have shower, drink more tea, have suggested you should dry your hair properly as it is cold and you might catch a chill. Get dressed in girl clothes, including tights I managed not to put my hand through. Strangely I didn’t feel silly.

Go for Carvery; eat fantastic veggies and a small Yorkshire pudding. We forgot the veggie gravy, but they had some and it was really nice (not salty). Then I had a vanilla ice cream swimming in butterscotch sauce, I eat all most all the butterscotch and about half the ice cream. EMB had turkey, veggies, a huge Yorkshire but no ice cream. Drink sparkling water, still no none medication caffeine this year!

Go home, play with excessively over excited puppy, more peppermint tea and then retire for a nap, get woken a bit later with more peppermint tea, more phone calls, and then a view out the window at what could have been mistaken for the start of Ragnarök, horizontal snow and all.

Chat to family, good wishes and discussions of the weather. Discuss food, feed puppy, and start to cook. Snuggle down to watch pre-decided appropriate film while eating, with a break for more tea, and “rainy snow”. Watch film, with out comments having discovered EMB had never seen the end! More tea, more chat, type up day, go to sleep happy …
