Project: cross stitch - chart kitting [Status - awaiting quote]

I've emailed 123Stitch! asking about charts I'm interested in and whether they have a kitting service. A lady from the company replied to my email and is currently compiling a quote for the charts I want kitted.

These are the ones I'm going to do:


Heremia - Character Creations


Motion - Arabian and Swallow - Character Creations


Golden Ice - Kustom Krafts


Gentle Strength - Dimensions

I've chosen different fabrics for Heremia and Motion, which the lady is incorporating into the quote.

It really is so expensive to kit charts here, what with 8m of a single colour skein of thread costing R6 (that's US$0.78 - non-sale price of thread is apparently $0.30 each), bearing in mind that each chart uses anything from 30 colours to 89. Then you have to source fabric, which I would imagine is no easy task if you want a different colour/type fabric than the standard plain aida. The price of the thread alone is more than the price of the whole kit from overseas.

Saw in a crafts shop nearby a very crappy kit of (say for eg) a watering-can with flowers on a table. That was R700 (almost $100). It wasn't a BIG design either, not NEAR the standards of Warpony and the others I want to do. All 4 of the 'kits' I'm ordering shouldn't come to more than R1000, which works out to R250 each which *I*'d say is a FAR better deal than paying R700 for a kit I don't really like. A R250 kit here makes a tiny little design of about 15cm x 15cm.

I'm eagerly awaiting the quote on the cross-stitches!

I've also been working on Warpy, the right-hand half is SO nearly complete! Tonight G probably will have 'homework' to do (overtime) so I'll sit up late with him and STITCH!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAh I'm so impatient to go HOME!!

Tomorrow we're going to go see T, she's back in the land of R S of A (much to her depression and frustration!!).

Thursday is the carnival, so G and I, my sis and (her)G and M and J are going to go have FUN! Can't wait for that either!!

Then it's almost my birthday!

I have time!

Friday afternoon I phoned the (S)watch shop to find out about my watch that I'd sent away for them to check if they can fix it. They can't. Why? Because it's a 'sealed unit'. WTF? They offered me a 33.3% discount off any watch I buy from them up worth R799 (my watch's value). Like hell. I don't want to have ANOTHER dead watch 2 years later, thanks.

G and I went to the mall earlier, and after brunch we went straight to the (S)watch shop and I collected my watch. (Heard after we got home that it still TICKS fine, it just doesn't move. WTF?)

Went around looking in shop windows at watches. Checked out Fossil, and any other brands in jewellery shops. OMG they are SO EXPENSIVE! A Fossil watch is CHEAP compared to most of them in the jewellery shops! Then after "liking" a Fossil watch (more like the best of not a WONDERFUL selection), we went to a shop which sells a LOT of brands. It is exclusively a watch shop. Checked out their stuff... There was one that appealed to me. It wasn't as expensive as most of the other watches in the whole mall, but it was more than the Fossil. So we went back to the Fossil shop where I took another look at the watch, and then (with not a lot of ease) got one of the assistants to take the watch out for me to take a closer look. It was alright. Didn't blow me away. I had become more impressed with the *other* watch in the *other* shop before leaving that shop to come look at the Fossil, so we went back to the watch shop where I could take a longer look.

The assistant came to me and asked if I needed help (which was far better treatment than in the Fossil shop - although the ladies in the Fossil shop had offered us assistance at first, but they hadn't actually come around their counter to talk TO us, they just called out across the HUGE 5m shopfloor, this lady had). So I got to take a closer look at the nice watch in the nice shop with the nice shop assistants. I liked the nice watch. It became nicer and nicer as I handled it. It became more mine too. So I decided to keep it. No, I didn't steal it!

I'm now sitting at the pc with MY new LOVELY watch... it's pretty and matte and shiny in tiny bits and it's metal and it is blue and patterned in the face and it has glow in the dark bits but it has no gold-colour and it has no faux-bling diamante crap on it ANYwhere ;) (that was one of the turn-offs of the Fossil watch)

It's so cool!!

Oh, and apparently the ppl from (S)watch decided that it was more of a virtue for their watches to be innovatively waterproof than for them to be repairable, so although my watch is broken, it will never ever be damaged by water!

Damn it!

Damn everything!

Damn everything ever! Damn it!

I hate work. I started enjoying it but it turns out it's shit. Bloody personal shit, like calling medical aid and getting stuff pre-authorised or finding out why they don't pay for something they did before. What the fuck does wifeykins do at home all day that SHE can't phone?! *I* have to phone MY medical aid when *I* have a query! It's MY medical aid MY problem. Damn it! Bosses' wives BLEH! Bloody lazy asses! Personal shit! Bugger it all!

I hate things damn it! I'm so FED UP with shit always. It's quiet at home. Routine and stable, the moment you have any interactions with anyone or anything, it turns shit. I'm tired from work shit. I can't deal with stuff like that now. I can't solve it. Problems I CAN'T SOLVE! Damn it, I'm not qualified to sort that out! There's nothing I can do to FIX things. I want to fix things. I can't fix anything. I can't do anything. She argues and goes off about things, I can't argue with her. She has a reason. I can't stop her having a reason. I can't FIX what she's angry about. I can't fix it.

I can't just BE, with you. Can't just, have a cup of coffee with you. We can't hang out together. It's always the same. I can't explain why, because it ends up that we argue the same way she and you argue. I can't talk to you because we would argue. I don't want to. But I can't just *be* with you, it exhausts me and drains me out completely. I want to. It's so simple. But it's too complicated, everything's too complicated that's why you can't ever just BE. I can't fix that. I can't. I can't be your self-esteem, I can't fix you.

I can't.

I want you to be fine. I can't fix it.

The LITTLE DUDE!!!

He isn't afraid of the camera which is EXCELLENT, but he was a bit shell-shocked after the flash went off.. poor little chap.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate you, you inconsiderate fucks

Yes, you, you loud ASSHOLES. You who had the TV on so loud that I heard all the news headlines from YUGOSLAVIA! And then you watched a sitcom and laughed LOUDLY too. As if I wouldn't already know when the funny bits are, since I can hear the studio-audience's laughter loud enough for it to sound as if they're in our lounge. Then, obviously, your show ended at 23:30, because you became quiet.

May I now go sleep?

Fuck you.

The Little Green Man

I read this blog post quite a while ago (around the time when we moved in together)and I still think it's very funny! Ok not so funny, but ... well... it struck a chord, cos we had to experience the same thing. Exactly the same thing. With G's flat, they wanted to redo the floors. They wanted to redo the bath. They wanted to do so many things but how on earth is a person supposed to just take time off work to go supervise? ANYway... nuff said.

Valentine's was a strange day. We were actually going to celebrate the 13 Feb rather, that being our 6 months anniversary, so we met up for lunch during the day, but in the evening we ended up doing laundry. Gave G goodies though.

For Valentine's, we didn't meet up for lunch or anything. I went out and got some extra goodies for G for the evening, some yummy chocolates for us to share. We didn't get much time to hang out after work, G had a short band practice to get to, so I caught a lift home with the intention to hang out with my mom and sis. But they were out *hmph!* hehe. So I went online and checked my mail and stuff.

G came and fetched me and we came home again, and we were so hungry that we scoffed some chips almost before putting his band stuff down! Then I went into the bedroom to put something down, and on the bed was a cute little green budgie in a little blue cage! A sleepy little chap, all fluffed up and ready for bed! It was the cutest thing!!! There was a ribbon on the cage and a lovely card G'd made. It was so ... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The little green man doesn't have a name yet, I have a feeling that "chappie" is going to turn into "Chappie" and become his name though! He's got a good place on my shelf in the lounge so he's able to watch TV with us and enjoy music and even watch the fishtank. He's too cute!

And the long story behind the surprise! Wow! So crafty!!!!!!!! When we went to G's parents' place to do laundry, he was apparently upstairs! Both times! And there was no short band practice, and G's parents weren't out (we were going to go fetch laundry that evening but couldn't because they 'were out'). Nor was S (W's S - all these initials are getting confusing HAHA) which was why I wouldn't have had fun at band. W played along with G's story of there being a short band practice that evening! G rushed around "during band" fetching the little chappie from his parents' place and taking him to our place and setting everything up and then rushing back to fetch me and driving back! HEEEHEHEHEHEHEH :D awww it's so wow!!!! :D Phew! Ingewikkelde tale!

This evening G and I are going toy-shopping! The little dude's cage is rather bare, so we're gonna see what all toys there are, and pick up a seed-bell and a cuttlefishbone or so. HE'S SO CUTE! He chirped this morning, as we were going out the door :D Awwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll take a pic later and post it asap.

A LITTLE GREEN MAN :D

The day Google became Googe

Pulled Google up this morning and it being Valentine's day, they have prettied up their logo. Except it seems they made a spelling mistake:

My Name According To Spam

I can choose between the following:

"Delicata Andrew" and "Satish Sehgal".

I think I like Delicata, it feels right plus it's a female-sounding name.

Had a nice relaxed weekend. Friday night G and I caught up on the sleep we'd missed out on the previous night (see previous post), then Saturday morning we went to the mall. G got two CDs and we had brunch there. We went to the ATMs before having brunch and there was a queue for the two of my bank's ATMs but one guy left the one ATM and said something to the guy in front of me, who when I asked what was wrong (because he wasn't going to that ATM and he was next in the queue) said that the ATM had swallowed the other chap's card. "no big deal, if it's swallowed it, it's in the machine now and shouldn't cause trouble with my card" I reckoned, so I went to use the ATM. Tried to put my card in, it didn't go in, instead it spat the other chap's card out! Credit card too, so I took it and looked around for the guy but he was gone. G and I had a nice trek to find the nearest BRANCH of that bank, cos strangely they don't have one in the mall (silly, really). Felt really strange to be walking around with someone else's credit card in my pocket!!

Went to G's parents for a bit while he did washing, then went out with sis and "her" G and my G for supper to celebrate her birthday. Had a lekker supper and stayed over. Came home Sunday morning and just relaxed. Not often do we get a chance to just BLOB. Sit lazily on the couch, or lie in bed and blob. So we did that. Went to the shop first, got the vital groceries, but then had a nap afterwards - LOVELY! Read and blobbed, G tried to fix his record player but the elastic has broken. We were going to "copy" LPs onto the computer to put on CDs in case the LPs get scratched or the record player (mom's) breaks. We'll have to kidnap mom's record player for a bit.

Back at work now. Still haven't had a chance to try out the DMC cross stitch program that I got from W/S :D Can't wait! Gotta do a waterchange too, and iron some clothes. Eish gotta go to the laundry today. This is a very boring part of this blogpost :P

Back work. It's cold and I have allergies and the state of being cold and sneezy is exacerbated by the fact that the painters have hbbm's windows open and are painting with varnish - cold and stinky. LOL. Today is still "new" so it's gonna be a loooooonnnnnnnnnnnnng day.

Thoughtful...

Seems I'm most likely to blog when I am thinking a lot. I guess that is what blogs are about hey?

Was going through my cellphone phonebook, and saw someone's name in it. It's strange how a person can embody the concept of 'could have been'. We could have been great friends, we seemed to get on very well, or at least that's what I thought. She was just 'biding her time', "letting" me keep her company because it (to her) must have seemed to make me happy, regardless of whether she actually enjoyed it. That knowledge somehow completely nulls any enjoyment I actually got from her company.

Ok the stuff above I typed a while ago, but saved it as a draft.

Last night the asshole neighbours were playing music very loudly. I couldn't sleep. At 1:30am I logged onto the computer, downloaded antivirus and antispyware updates and ran those. I went to the lounge and tried to sleep on the couch at about 3am. I managed to doze off til about 4am. The lounge is the only place where their music doesn't penetrate as much, cos their front door/lounge is right by our bedroom window, and the kitchen/computer room gets the noise coming through their rooms through our kitchen. Earlier I'd gone outside enraged and went around to see where the noise was coming from and the fuckers had their lights off and their door WIDE OPEN so that the whole fucking city could enjoy their music. After sleeping on the couch for a while, I went back to bed but they were still playing music and talking very loudly. I fell asleep (passed out) at 4:30, and here I am at work now half-dead at 11am after getting up at 7. Thank you, FUCKERS, for 2,5 hours of sleep!!!!!!!!!!

I just phoned the rental agency, spoke to the woman there. She said she'd get hold of them. I also told her about the lovely couple upstairs who get drunk and then argue and fight and throw things around.

FUCK YOU ALL! BASTARDS!!! 4:30 in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I'm an undead. I'm so irritated already this week, this just TOPS IT OFF!!

Hbbm's gone out for meetings and hopefully to enjoy some golf, if the weather holds. Hold thumbs that the weather holds, I don't feel up for much work today. This morning I was having my breakfast oats and coffee at my desk, so he calls me to type up an email for him, IN THE MIDDLE of my eating. He KNOWS I was eating, he even commented on the fact that it looked like kid's/baby's cereal (mush). But it doesn't matter, the email can't WAIT 3minutes!

I'm so tired of this place. Just when I thought things were going to be good and I'd have something worthwhile to do, it gets snatched away from me. I thought I was hbbm's PA, and I asked the accountant to confirm it (cos the job title is printed on my payslip), and she informed me that the bosses decided my job title is 'admin assistant'. What the fuck is an admin assistant???? Dogsbody? That's like even less of a job title than receptionist!!! How the hell will that look on my CV? "I have 4.5 years experience as a receptionist and x years as a ... well... um... I did PA duties but officially I was admin assistant..." Gosh, it's not allowed that someone actually feels proud and motivated in their job? "Heavens no! I mean, imagine, her actually liking her work? No, that's not on, by jove, she'll get a big head and think she's important and meaningful and appreciated *gasp*. Only us head honchos can get job satisfaction, you know. Along with our fat pay! Hehehe, go us!!!"

So anyway, I'm admin assistant, doing PA duties. It's so petty. I hate it. Just let me do work, and acknowledge it and allow me headroom to ENJOY IT and grow into it and feel motivated. To quote a graffiti: *fuckshitup!*

What is news. I miss my budgie. My fish (the congo tetras) are randy and lay eggs all the time.

I feel like a zombie. I want to curl up in bed and just sleep. It's cold and rainy too, so that is making me want to cuddle up too.

*yaaaaaaaaaaawnnnnnnnnnnnnns*

FINALLY ...

Pics of our place!!

I just stuck all of them here, so you can see the entire place. As well as G, unlocking the front door.

Love the place, but the neighbours are annoying. But love the place!!

When's payday?

Tomorrow. But as soon as my pay comes in, it goes straight out. I still owe my sis so much anyway, that whatever's left accumulates to be transferred to her = nothing left.

I'm irritated and I don't know why.

It's hot. I'm tired.

I hate weekends which don't let you relax. I hate ironing.

The fishtank is clean. The dishes are done, the flat is vacuumed. I'm not hungry, it's hot.

I'm tired of not earning money enough to HAVE any left. Medical aid "helps" but I have to submit things that I've already paid for and they sometimes don't cover those things and then it's paid for by me only.

I don't like shitty doctors. I don't like stupid people who don't give a shit about other people. Correction: I hate people like that.

I would like a budgie here but don't have the energy to even decide because there's always stuff to be done. I wish Warpony's first half was finished. I wish those damn cross-stitch company people hadn't fucked up and that I'd received the kits ages ago.

I want to sleep late and not go anywhere. For a month at least. I'm annoyed because my Indian truck t-shirt was messed up in the wash. Mom must have washed it with the rest of the clothes (in a hot wash) and the rubbery print on it melted and smudged in some places, and all over the front collar and stuff. It should have been handwashed, which is what I always do but it must have somehow crept into the wash with the other clothes. I can't go back to India to buy another one.

Friday was a write-off at work. The ITs and people helping them were there the entire day, sorting our machines out and working on the server/network. We now have domain profiles which is SO DAMN SLOW when you have to restart. There wasn't any way for the receptionist to get to the faxes that came in to the faxserver box, and hbbm was flitting around frazzled because the emails didn't work either. He tends to get in a tizzy very quickly about things like that. It's tiring because you have to placate him because there is NOTHING that you can do to FIX what is wrong because they're busy with it. Agh!

It's Monday tomorrow. Yuck.

Our adsl line is being subsidised, which is EXCELLENT! Saves us a bit of $ but that gets absorbed into other costs like electricity, groceries.

I'm still irritated. It's annoying when things just HAVE to be difficult. Like... agh I dunno, can't think of anything. When things HOOK on other things and prevent you getting them loose while you're busy doing something. Urrrrhhh!!

*sigh*

I hate that retard in the block of flats next door to us, he played LOUD bloody music this morning at 9:15. A SUNDAY MORNING, you SHIT! Fuck you!

I can't think of anything to write. I know this is a complainy whiny post but so what. I felt like saying it and I have so that's that. At least I don't phone you (reader) and rant on and on at you about it :P

Things we want to buy one day: stove/oven. Combo washmachine/tumbledryer. Couches. Those are the big things. Not fun things, necessary things. Can't think about "fun" things to buy now. Or spending money on things that aren't necessary.

I hate cockroaches and wish they'd all die now. I'm tired of spraying the hell out of them and them still running and hiding somewhere. I hate the way they peek out from under the drying rack and I can't spray them cos then I'd be poisoning us. Then they run around under the edge of the sink and I can't get them there either cos they disappear. And I may be hard-hearted but I don't like it when cats try to be cutesy and pushy and try to rub against you when you obviously don't feel like it. I don't want to encourage them, because any moment that we might slip up and leave the door/window open they'd get in and maybe eat stuff in the kitchen or kill my fish (or bird, when we get one).

It's 21:00 already. Time for bed to wake up early tomorrow. Oh and Tuesday morning I'm playing receptionist-dumbass again for the morning because the new lady is going to see someone at the college about studies etc etc blabla. At least hbbm is away but I have plenty of work to do before he comes back.

I wish my hair would grow quickly so that I don't have to fuss with these clips.

That's all for now, I think.

It's 1-FUCKING-AM!

I am at my computer.

You are playing your FUCKING music so FUCKING loud that I am FULLY awake! You're also all talking SO FUCKING LOUDLY I feel as though I'm at the party MYSELF, despite having been IN BED!

FUCK YOU!!

Don't know if it'll help even a tiny fucking bit but, come Monday morning, I will be phoning the landlords and complaining. About YOU, and about the pointless FUCKS upstairs.

al..... RIGHTY then!!!

Japanese potty training video

all one can say: al...RIGHTY then!!

It... is... HOT

Today the temperature outside was 41C. I didn't go outside at all, not only because I was on switchboard duty.

And it's still hot now. Apparently today's discomfort index was 45C!!

S (in USA) tried phoning the cross-stitch company I'd ordered GI and GS from... couldn't get through, he tried to email them, phoned them again and their mailbox is full. J his wife checked with people on her stitching forums and apparently the people who own that online shop are old and might be sickly. Anyway, the gist of it: we have to get the credit card company to refund us and follow it up with the site. Damn! I just want my kits :(

So now I'm looking online for them again.

I'm having a good time (so far) at work, I now have my own (hand-me-down) pc which although only a 256mb ram, 40gb hd, 751MHz processor, old one, is decent enough. The front USB ports aren't connected and there's a not-working floppy drive (also not connected). Problem with the back USB ports is they're on the same "block" as the keyboard and mouse plugs, and it's loose. So if I fiddle with a USB thing, the keyboard stops working and I have to restart. Bummer. Anyway, not often I'd need a flashstick I reckon.

According to secret sources we are probably getting a new TV. Source: G. CAN'T WAIT! Ok nothing much is on TV, but still! According to a friend of ours, the Simpsons is on EVERY DAY on Mnet open-time...!!!!! WE'RE MISSING THE SIMPSONS!??!?!

Oh and: the Simpsons movie? Definitely wanna see that! Saw Night at the Museum last week, it was EXCELLENT! Very sweet, funny, exciting movie hehe!

Still sad about Honey being put down. I so vividly remember the day we got her. Her breeders came from a long way away, and we met them at our Gran's place. Chose her from 2 they'd brought (they'd delivered all the others on the way). She was restless in the car on the way home, and finally found a spot and settled down in the footwell by my feet! Aww so cute! I remember it all hehe. That was over 16 years ago.

After this payday, my finances should be back on track... I'll be broke straight away after being paid cos it's paying things, but once that's done and I've got through the lean month to the following payday, I should be back to normal. YEAH!!!!!!!!! Ok still paying off to Sis, but that's ok. I should be a few hundred R wealthier after we get the money back from the credit card co.

*yawn* this week has been quite long. The days go quicker now cos I'm busier but it's more fun! I'm actually going to enjoy getting hbbm's office into ORDER!!!!! Untidiness! Pff!!!!! He's quite enjoying how it's working: he dictates an email, I type it, send it, print it, stick it in a file. Done! Hehe I like that too. So quite an up in the job-satisfaction level!

I hate cockroaches - we have quite a lot in the kitchen. Less than when we just moved in, but still. Only medium, small and tiny ones. The MASSIVE mofos probably can't get into the place and besides: they have a LOVELY portuguese restaurant to patronise!

Ooh, it's been a while since I did something on my blog... ok will do it tomorrow >;)

Erm

I'm back in the land of the living... this has been one WONKY mutha week hehe!

Ok went back on Thursday after being off sick on Tues and Wed, felt GHASTLY but survived, and Friday I had a very very sore tummy. Still felt a bit weak. Phoned "my" doc that morning (he'd said I should phone him if it wasn't right by Friday), left a msg. Phoned again in the afternoon, still no reply. So I phoned G's doctor's office, made an appointment with a doctor there. Had to arrange with the ppl at work for someone to take my place at the switchboard (!) because the receptionist had gone to register for part-time studies. Honestly I've done so much switchboard duty this 3-day week! Anyway, JUST as I'm like leaving, she comes back. Thank heavens... but anyway so I got to leave late because she has to like nag/ask me questions about "how do I" which is like DUH because surely she's had SOME computer training/anything. ANYWAY.

So we drive in a hurry but slowly cos of the shitty traffic to the doctor. I missed the appointment (the doctor'd left already!) but got to see another doctor after a wait. It was very strange cos the doctor had the window wide open and the electric fan on FULL power. It was rather windy in his office. Weird. Anyway, after going hmm and hmm a bit, he guessed it was probably constipation ("want to take a bet?") so I had an x-ray and saw him again and it was. Sigmoid colon. So damn sore, such a simple thing hehe. Anyway got some sachets of stuff to drink and the following morning my tummy wasn't sore anymore!

Oh yay, Monday morning I'm doing switchboard duty for however long because the receptionist is going to register because she didn't get to Friday. YAY!!

Tuesday the ITs are supposed to come and sort my computer setup out. I'm using the company's laptop and I don't want to do ANYthing on it like surft/msn.

This blog post is a little "deurmekaar" but that's how my mind is at the moment. It's like catching up after being away for a week hehe!

I've been tidying my stuff, going through my stuff, I have a whole STACK of things to sort through right next to me. I'm going to have to bring another bookshelf from home, and possibly buy some "inbox trays" hehe. I need to make shelves for this stuff: cords, manuals, chargers, etc etc LOL!

ANYWAY... bleh don't feel like sorting it all out now hehe. It's weekend.

Oh AND ABOUT WEEKEND!

These retard dumbass mofos in this block of flats (and the next door one) don't understand NIGHT TIME. They slam doors, talk/shout loudly (specially when walking past our bedroom window), at all hours of the night (morning). The people upstairs from us, omg! Domestic fights! And the previous night, it sounded like one of them was stuck trying to get out of an Oros-man suit... making squeaking thudding sounds all around the room above us! SERIOUSLY WEIRD! And then at like 9:30 this morning (sunday) someone next door to us decides to hammer a nail into the wall. WEIRD PEOPLE!

Ok anyway, I'm gonna try get stuck into at least SOME things here, so that when I'm back at work tomorrow I have at least achieved something.. OH DAMN, I have to do a waterchange!!!! Ok ciao Romano!!

Day 3 of being unwell

My tummy has stayed sore, and I have had headaches on and off... had eyeball pain most of the time. Haven't slept well, feeling very restless.

Phoned in to work today, got through to the accountant doing switchboard duty - that meant the receptionist was - dare I say it - LATE?! Omg that's... UNACCEPTABLE?!?! Whatever! She was late the first day I got there, she came about 15 mins late... reason? Taxis. Pfff!! That'll never hold anything for the bosses *sniggers* I've done my time being LATE because of METROFUCKINGFAIL and being crapped on for something that was beyond my bloody control............

Ok I'm breathing...........................

*breathes*

spent most of the day in bed, dozing fitfully as the maintenance guys sawed through burglar bars and drilled through stone etc. Ok they probably weren't doing that, but they were making a helluva lot of noise working on the vacant flat next door. I've been enjoying paint smell as they've taken off the burglar bars and repainted them.

Went to the doc, the doc says it might be a VERY mild case of tummy flu (which would be so mild I wouldn't puke), or IBS or something. So I have tabs to make me better :) Back to work tomorrow if I'm up for it. If not, it's back to the doc to get a doctor's certificate. I guess.

Mom and sis took our oldie dog to the vet today, to be put to sleep. Poor old stinky. Apparently she was having a good day and was all alert and bright. It's good that way, cos then her last day wasn't an uncomfortable, unhappy one. They had a 15:30 appointment but had to wait cos the vet was out with a horse with colic. They had a good wait though, a peaceful one cos Honey was alert and interested in her surroundings and when sis went around the corner to buy some cooldrink, she wanted to follow her. Sis waited in the waiting room, mom went in but came out before the vet did his thing. I agree with mom: I couldn't stand to see a dead Honey.

RIP doggiedog...

today

Today i started my new job. It's not fun really explaining your old job to someone new.

And I feel sick. Really sick. I'm going to bed with some Disprins to see if it helps. I feel a bit nauseous now... ugh.

bye ppls (for now)
