Ex-city secretary and now a lone transcriber, slowly going mad at home - but who says insanity is a bad thing? Pretty sure my motivation was there when I got up this morning, but I don't think its feeling very well and its gone back to bed, leaving me kind of limp and lifeless. So I've slobbed. All day. Conserving energy for the Day of Misery tomorrow. http://www.brummieblogs.com#update4 ...that there's just so much to do and so little time to do it in? They say 'if you want something done, ask a busy person' - utter crap. If I'm asked to do one more thing I swear blood will be shed. But anyway, I've posted, but it doesn't go far enough to portray the sheer chaos that is currently my life, so try reading it in a really frantic sounding voice :-). http://www.brummieblogs.com#update3 I've been typing and writing and typing some more and writing some more (if you haven't read about Julie Walters as a ghostly granny yet, check out the NaNoWriMo link on my blog - I'd link it here but I don't know how, because like I'm old and decrepid and a bit thick). This week was a case of 'Oh no, it's Mon- Wow, Friday already!' I survived it, but only just. Now, Bring On The Weekend... yeeeeehaaaaaaa. http://www.brummieblogs.com#update2 ...I'm exhausted! If you haven't yet read the NaNoWriMo by Fastingers (moi), click here: http://www.brummieblogs.com/NaNoWriMo1. That probably won't work as a link (due to creeping decreptitude), in which case you'll have to copy and paste, iritating I know. Meanwhile, the Hubs is currently trying to get me to go out shopping in order to solve the Empty Cupboard/Starvation problem, and I'm fast running out of excuses (not being dressed at 11.30am on a Sunday morning won't wash for much longer). http://www.brummieblogs.com#update1 I am struck down by some horrible malady that Hubs brought home from work with him - I'd have much preferred chocolates to be honest. Illness is boring, and boredom causes you to do all kinds of strange things, like huddle up to an overheated laptop to keep warm and write a lot. Go have a look and give it to me straight... do I need medical treatment, or do I need therapy? http://www.brummieblogs.com ...which is why I've been busybusybusy, trying to earn enough dosh to pay my EXTORTIONATE utility bills. But I did managed to scrape enough pennies together to Do Lunch with Marmee and Sista, which was surreal, as always. http://www.brummieblogs.com#update7 It's good :-) http://www.brummieblogs.com#update6 ...which is a good job considering the sheer volume of work I've had this week. The dam of poverty has broken and I'm up to my eyelashes in audio - thank god! I also live in a house that contains a gun... not quite sure how I feel about that yet, depends how many bodies I find on my patio in the weeks to come as Hubs enthusiastically shoots vermin. slugs, and possibly next door's cats. http://www.brummieblogs.com#update5 Ooooh, where were we? Tap tap tap, this thing working? Hopefully I haven't broken the entire internet, but I'm a bit worried about all these feed link thingies I've got left over. http://www.brummieblogs.com But then, I was never very far from the edge of that particular slipperly slope anyway. There's been a lot of disappointment milling around this week, and its only Tuesday. One hopes that Things Can Only Get Better before physical restraint is required. [If all this sounds a bit freaky to you, let me know and I'll take more medication]. http://www.brummieblogs.com#update3 Poverty is something I'm well acquainted with, so it holds no fear for me. Oh no, been there, done that, bring it on. How much can you get for a spleen these days? http://www.brummieblogs.com#update2 It appears I have no work. NO WORK! This would be alarming had I not suffered the same agonies of worklessness before. I don't know what to do with myself, so I've pithered around on my blog and changed lots of things - it probably doesn't work at all now. Tsk, the vandalism of the chronically idle. Oh wait! Some work's arrived! Poverty and starvation narrowly averted (phew!) http://www.brummieblogs.com My God, that was a job and a half. All I've heard for almost a week is the constant rumbling of the washing machine (and the dog hacking his lungs up). But I've finally recovered from jet-lag, its like being reborn... I have energy and some vague idea of my name and stuff. S'great. Weather's crap though. http://www.brummieblogs.com#update2 The final part! With pics! And normal service can now be resumed... whatever 'normal' is. http://www.brummieblogs.com/AMERICAN%20ROAD%20TRIP#update3 Nuff said, go read... http://www.brummieblogs.com/AMERICAN%20ROAD%20TRIP#update2 It's here! I finally got my act together and started beating my indecipherable notes into a proper account of our 12 day road trip. Brace yerselves, there's LOADS more to come. http://www.brummieblogs.com/AMERICAN ROAD TRIP.htm ...just testing out the feed so you're not bombarded by spam again. Man, that was one hard sucker to get rid of! http://brummieblogs.com
