Four whole days with no posting. That's not like me. That sort of makes me feel like I should offer some sort of explanation. I've not had anything to say and for once I've managed to not say it.

( Stress at work, hand injury, shopping/hiking, sleep. Kinda rambly )

( Going to Lithuania and quite frightened )

( In which I cry and rant at the pain my body inflicts on me every month )

( Feeling very ill. Have eaten pasta. Will not be doing it ever again. )

Today, I have done a brilliant impression of a normal, chatty, sociable human being. I have had an in-depth discussion of teeth with two colleagues I don't generally chat to (is it unusual to bite polos? I thought that was the usual way to eat them) and with the accountant about pre-decimal coins and eccentric great-uncles (I have one. Not at the ( Read more... )

Oww...poor little lactose-intolerant tummy has sent me home for lunch half an hour early, not that I'm going to be eating much. From what very little reading I've done on the subject, humans are born with an enzyme to digest milk and as they grow up and cease to live on milk, their production of this enzyme slows down, so a degree of lactose- ( Read more... )

I have spent the afternoon watching Wonders of the Solar System while sick in bed. Or rather, dozing while it was on in the background.

I could leave it and hope it sorts itself out (it did eventually with the one that's now missing altogether on the right side - I had quite bad pains over the summer when I was 17 or 18 ( Read more... )

Today is a better day than yesterday, for two reasons which probably should't be but are equally important to me.

1) Following Sunday night's epic tooth pain, I woke up yesterday with a horrible miserable ache throughout the entire left side of my head. Never did work out whether it was in my jaw (and therefore caused by toothache), ear (and ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't shut up today. I am in fucking agony with the worst toothache I've ever had in my life. And yes, it is the broken one causing pain but it's also the intact and in-perfect-condition one directly above it, which is particularly irritating because there's no reason whatsoever for it to hurt! Occasionally, my teeth hurt but the pain ( Read more... )
