12:34am: Still Sick
Feeling absolutely dreadful. Well bit better today, lost yesterday somehow. Have never slept for 14 hours plus before, very strange. Watched Event Horizon on dvd tonight, had forgotten how much I liked that film.

2:47am: Noooooooo
The slipstream bbs is dead. No more Argosy, no more Harperchondriacs and all my fiction feedback is gone. The worst thing is that one of my rps is missing in action. The other one is looking for a new home and I guess it will find one.

I also have an awful cold, the one that husband and son are both 'dying' from.

11:40pm: Life the Universe etc. etc.
Sick husband, hate it when men are not well, they are so pitiful. He won't go to the Doctor but I am going to make him go on Monday, even if I have to drive him there myself. If you only knew how much I a) hate driving and b) hate driving him, you would know what a major sacrifice that is.

Everything just feels wrong today for some reason. My hair is badly in need of being chopped off. I hate it longer than about an inch all over. My skin is bad. I fell asleep and burned the potatoes (LOL)well that was funny actually. Much running round and shouting of four letter words. The saucepan was so hot it burned the pan rest.

I just feel out of sorts, it's probably the fact that it's winter and it barely gets light here.

Son has a broken toe, he kicked a plastic bottle, missed and kicked the kerb instead. So we have had much drama with that, more so when he dropped a tin of tuna on it this morning whilst demonstrating his lack of juggling skill.

Oh well on the bright side, nice weekend away in Edinburgh, managed to see 'The Twin Towers' gotta love that Legolas, wish I was a few years younger LOL.

11:32pm: I Am Back

Whose Beka Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Well it's the first time I've tried posting one of these quiz thingies so we'll see if it works.

Back to normal today after all the festivities. Well what passes for normal in my little world anyway.

Back to work, weather really cold, roads really icy, would have much rather stayed in bed this morning when the alarm went of at 7am.

Had a good weekend in Edinburgh, got the see The Two Towers, throughly enjoyed it. Loved the battle scenes.

One consolation I suppose is that the days are getting slightly longer. Roll on the Spring.

11:25pm: Sigh
Haven't written anything public for a while. Life stinks at the moment. No money and mega rows with other half. On a 'I hate men' kick just now. To think I gave up a career in the Royal Navy for the buggar.

Oh well.

I don't even feel inspired to write slash, things must be bad LOL. Hasn't stopped me reading it though. Gotta get some fun from somewhere.

11:25pm: Busy, Busy
Spent many hours standing in the cold collecting for charity. Tins were pretty heavy so hopefully have done quite well.

Did very little else all day. Crocheting the world's biggest blanket, it's a stress busting thing. Just wish the cat didn't think it was his. It's double bed size now and I can't stop. Dunno what I'm going to do with it. Don't bother with the suggestions ;)

Waiting for some people to come on line to rp with. Just love rpg do far too many though.

1:15am: Slightly Better Day
Very marginally better day today, now if it would just stop raining and actually get light during the day things would be looking up.

On the plus side, interesting day at work. Also large helping of After Eight icecream after dinner.

Good episode of Stargate tonight and I have Odyssey 5 recorded for later viewing.

10:46pm: Work, Work, Work
Busy day at work today, as usual feel as though I haven't achieved very much. Data Protection Act 1998 must be one of the more boring aspects of my job. Of course it seems to be one of the things that has taken off. Just my luck.

No lift tomorrow so 2 hours on the bus in the morning and 2 hours back in the evening. Sigh, and it's always freezing in the morning, right up until it gets to just before where I get off, then it warms up.

Will read one of my Inspector Morse books.

Yahoo seems to be behaving a bit better tonight, last night was very slow. Am also annoyed that I can't get into my favourite Firefly site. My on line pals in the US can so I think it's just me.

Full of moans tonight, not having a good week, hell not having a good month, in fact the year as a whole has not been good. Someone reminded me how near we are to Christmas we are and you know I couldn't care less this year. No money and no inclination to celebrate.

1:27am: Baaad Day
Hateful day. I hate Capital One, they have totally messed up my credit card account and also given me the wrong advice. Complained bitterly but as you never speak to the same person twice it is probably to no avail.

Also feel sick and tired and totally fed up. Better not write any more, mood too black. Husband in foul mood because dinner not ready when he thought it should be. Thermostat on oven is totally f****d so how he expects anyone to cook in it is beyond me.

2:09am: Thank Goodness - Weekend
I have had an evil week at work. Late home again for the third time this week, got into the house at 10.30pm. Had a successful day though. Gave a presentation at a dental conference and they applauded me. I couldn't believe it, had a silly grin on my face for ages. Have never heard applause at a con before, well not that sort of con anyway.

3:55am: I Really Should be in Bed
I must stop staying up until the early hours. I get so involved in role playing that I forget what time it is. Also most of my on line pals are in the US, so evil time zones have an effect.

Thanks maryavatar for the avatar LOL. I have always liked that one.

12:20am: Home Again, Home Again
Bummer tried to update and it all got lost.

Just back from cold, cold Edinburgh. Had a good evening yesterday though. On the down side missed Farscape and Andromeda and needless to say no one thought to record them for me. On the up side had lovely sushi at Yo! and then went to the cinema to see "They". It was OK some genuinely scary moments but full of plot holes.

Long, dark journey home after meeting. Half my life seems to be spent travelling.

Nice news in my e-mail another of my fics has been nominated for the Affirming Flame awards. I don't care about winning, although that would be nice. I'm really happy that people like my writing enough to do that.

12:26am: Aww Nice
Thanks to everyone who sent me a welcome comment. So nice to get them. Been a funny old day as Arkwright used to say in 'Open All Hours'. British TV comedy for those who don't know.

Husband went nuts and bought chocolate coated peanuts, Swiss chocolate, triple choc chip cookies and pecan maple Danish. He can't eat any of it himself, he's diabetic. However, this didn't stop me from pigging out. Can almost hear the buttons popping on all my clothes.

Away to Edinburgh for work tomorrow, gonna skive off early and catch a film when I get there. Our cute little local cinema only has one screen and I've seen the film that's on this week.

I belong to loads of role playing groups. Have just joined one for Firefly, we don't even get it over here yet but I'm hooked LOL. Very yummy Captain. Harper will always be my first lust though. Mind you quite a few slashy chances on Firefly, 5 male and 3 female characters. Will have to wait and see if the muse bites or not.

5:01am: First Entry - Hello World
Thanks maryavatar for the code. I managed to create a journal without too much difficulty. Not sure if I'm gonna like the colour scheme, but can always play about with it.
