Ah, sheeeeeet...

My back has rebelled, and in a big way. Cue sizable intake of medication, and a reduced desire to blog, amongst other things. So much for my brave (!) attempt to "get regular" again - and this could really mess up my remaining summer plans, including going to see GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

Dammit.

UPDATE: This...



I feel better

My wounded ankle is bothering me, as the weather takes a turn, so I decided to look up the spot where it happened (hope this works):

Meanwhile... Grrrr. The Redskins dropped ( Read more... )

Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson has Alzheimer's

Ah, damn it all to hell. This is probably my greatest living hero we're talking about here, and that wonderful mind is being eaten away by this disease. There IS no God.

I really don't want to dwell on the bedroom train-wreck - okay, maybe it's not that bad (or at least I really hope it isn't...), but every time you think you've got any leakages addressed...

I really ought to just shut up, sometimes. Things in the bedroom are a LOT worse than I imagined. The carpet is wet, ( Read more... )

Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.

Sleeping downstairs. I very much hope this is a one-off. In fact, I will insist on it.

Today started a good deal earlier than I planned with one of those early wake-ups. I decided, rather than lie awake and wait for the day to catch up with me, I was going to try and get some writing in.

Every time I try to get properly settled here - here being "The New Place" - something seems to come along to get me riled, and unsettled. I found traces of "unwelcome lodgers" - vermin, basically - somewhere I hadn't encountered it before. I had so hoped to have this behind me after my previous apparent success, and now that the attic woodworm has ( Read more... )
