The last time I had a cold the same thing happened as today...vertigo. I've been mucking about the apartment, cleaning, sorting, doing odd jobs and setting up the PS2 (I seem to have maxed out the A/V outputs on my tv - how is that possible?), etc. Every time I stand up or turn too suddenly, I get dizzy and wobbly. I'm annoyed - it's vertigo ( Read more... )

I've promised myself I will make more time to read more this year - call it a New Year's resolution if you like. Partly I want to clean out my "haven't read" shelf, and partly I want to pick up on the stuff I haven't had time for (I'm massively behind on so many series ( Read more... )

After the responses I've received from argh128 and his gf, I've suddenly realized a gaping hole in the knowledge base of my friends. I forget who's on LJ and who's on FB and who's only connected to me by telephone or telegraph or smoke signals ( Read more... )

I need a new frying pan. The big one I have is starting to let everything stick...yuck and argh. I do have two smaller ones that are OK, but the big one sees all the use. I can't complain - it was a free thing, a from-work thing for doing good and it's probably about 8 years old. It's kind of annoying to think of throwing it out though - ( Read more... )

I have got a massive headache, which I blame on this wretched cold that I got from Sara. She's now back at work in the north, and I was back to work today - coughing and sniffling. I think it's mostly run it's course, but today didn't help. Every time I go in to that office lately, there seems to be more questions and more bad blood. Don't get ( Read more... )

Today was quiet at work, and I got a lot accomplished. It's funny how I get "thank you" messages for small things (like booking reservations at a restaurant) but no one seems to notice when I completely re-work a spreadsheet. Not that I need the positive reinforcement, I just think it's odd the way people's priorities come out ( Read more... )
