Fine whines...
Meh. Again. Having one of those Everything Going Wrong Days. Or indeed Weeks.
New car is lovely, took it for a spin to belfast t'other day and it is quite a lot of fun to drive, even for an automatic. Hurrah! It really does go VROOOOM when you want to ;)
On the downside, it appears that, strangely enough, going from not driving at all for several weeks to making a nearly 4 hour round trip to pay for the car in one go last friday was not such a good idea.
A combination of that and lower back going wonky has left me with sore back, sore hip and a non-broken leg full of achy, spasmy muscles.
Watching them twitch randomly is fun, but trying to find a comfortable way to sit to work (or idle online) or watch tv or sleep or... anything is not.
Walking - or rather hopping - any distance is out too. Getting up off the chair/sofa/bed is particularly challenging.
I even cunningly managed to fall over trying to get up the steps to the bedroom and land on the sore hip, which, although probably better than landing on a broken ankle, didn't help things. Tho thanks to sufficient padding, my dignity was much more hurt than anything else ;p
Internet connection keeps going wonky too, resulting in having to phone bt helpline [ETA because Thesme MADE me] before the laptop got thrown out the window. Although they were actually useful, despite having to explain repeatedly that no, I *couldn't* carry the laptop out to connect it to the wireless thingy with wires, so that was ok. I suppose.
On the plus side, as Mum has gone off to visit her sisters for the weekend, I have the house to myself to be as badtempered and grumpy as a I like, without having to worry about snapping at people or making the effort to be polite. An evening of wine and firefly may be in order. Possibly even popcorn, if I can figure out a way to get it from the kitchen to here.
For now tho, I should get some work done. Happy friday everyone!
