Salright, I’ve been worse!
Really nice weekend, which comprised: doing nothing, gardening, doing nothing, small glass of wine, doing nothing, sleeping, gardening, baking bread, sleeping, going for a walk, snuggling with Mal, reading the Milennium Trilogy again, doing nothing, staring into space and planting tomatoes.
Slept well, woke rested and two hours into the day feel feverish, sweaty and blurry-eyed, despite it being a cool 12 degrees out. Maybe I have malaria.
In other news the swallows came back yesterday, I am wearing a nice dress from Monsoon in green with a feathery pattern in pink and white and black, with black leggings. I am feeling positive. I am feeling solvent. Heck, I am solvent. And I have reason to believe I will remain solvent until the end of the month, even better. The boss is out all day which enables me to get through the teetering pile of crap on my desk. I have split out all the massive command and infrastructure tasks that have been hanging round my neck like multiple pairs of skates and ahve put them in a box till the last week of the Easter Hols, whereupon I will be in ehre when it’s quiet, sorting out some shit.
*funny story*
My bro is a doctor, and he, his girlfriend and another intern were working as a triage team over the weekend at a very well-known London hospital. My bro is insanely, immensly tall, well over 7 feet, but his girlfriend is only 5 foot and a smidge. They went mob-handed into a cubicle to be met by a seated older lady, who graciously assented to their request to take her blood pressure. Job done, they exited, whereupon the girlf doubled up in a fit of giggles. What she’d noticed, and what the tallies hadn’t was that said lady was sat not upon a chair but a commode. They apologised. Well, you’d have to, wouldn’t you?
Weekend sounds lovely (although, frankly, you still pack in far more than I ever manage to of a weekend) and the dress sounds gorgeous.
Excellent news on the solvency front. I myself am skint, as usual, til pay day on Friday. Whereupon I shall have oodles of cash for, oh, about a nanosecond – until all the direct debits go out. *sigh*
LMFAO about the old lady. Poor old dear.
Just catching up, Piereth – so sorry you’ve been having a shit of a time. Great news re solvency, because money stress is THE pits, I hate it. If it’s any consolation whatsoever when next you are feeling the pinch, I have earned $400 this year.
Love that you have bucked up, buttercup. The word ‘buttercup’ always makes me think of something delicious, which I hope your Easter delivers. xx
