Yes I am alive...
After dropping off the edge of the earth for a few days weeks, I come home to find the number of pets in my house has increased....
There is now an extra kitten, Manny (Black Books eat your heart out...), and my brother has also got himself a blue-tounged-lizard, who he wishes to call Erwin (after the late Steve).
Ain't he cute! But again I have been barred from touching him... just because Sybil likes me more than she does Mum... and Llew is similar, so was Borris..... and Buster... and Basil.... Hmm.... A pattern maybe?
I'm getting the "Why arn't you ever at home" lectures again, but thats because I'm out working and they would hardly see me anyway even if I did come home between times... Lab work is getting tedious... but it requires just enough concentration that I can't tune out without making mistakes....
But work is work, and money is money... but I'm only working 12-20 hours a week till April, dropping off to 9 after that, which is much better than the 24+ hours I was doing all last year on top of Uni...
So all and all everything appears to be looking up, hopefully I wont get into any states like I did through parts of last year...
