Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Busy Busy Busy.
So, it’s been a frantic weekend. I’m on nights next week, then on ATNC. At the end of that week I’m picking up Sherry and Terry at the airport so we’re trying to get the house into a fit state, which isn’t easy because the builders are moving at the pace of dead sloaths. We…

Oikodomophobia
Although it’s not really a fear of builders, as such. Just a general dislike for those in that trade. I’ve met one builder (well, plasterer) that I truly felt did a good job and cared about his work. One. The rest of them? Shoddy, lazy, happy with poor quality workmanship, late… This group seem nice enough in a…

Productive but long day now behind us…
So, today we checked in with the ring people – they’ve sent us a new design, between it and the previous one IÂ think we’re 100% there. They just need to combine the mountains from the previous design; the roots and trunk of the previous design and the spread and foliage of the tree in the…

Where’d autumn come from?
So, yesterday, while being chilly it didn’t feel icy cold; today IÂ had to wipe the windows on the car before moving and it felt pretty darn nippy getting into ‘becca. The house, if you leave doors open has that cold-cold feeling, and I’ve actually turned the heating on (although this is no-doubt assisted by the…

Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam
Well, what do you expect. Overtired, ‘s me. IÂ can’t seem to get up to doing any work of any substance, but IÂ did do the Manual Handling Online Doojit for my agency work; and similarly effective work wise was organising the delivery of items from our wedding list (they’re coming!). My main problem, today, I feel…

This is your brain on no-sleep
So, ‘scuse the post spam, but IÂ thought IÂ should clarify that whilst I’m exhausted I am up and surviving the day. I don’t feel as attrociously awful as IÂ might – although my stomach is still churning away. Maybe microwave lasagne and microwave mushroom stroganoff is not the way to live. I’m sure it is possible to…

*sigh*
I’d forgotten how unutterably frustrating and upsetting it is not to be able to sleep. I’ve led in bed for 45 minutes with the only thoughts in my mind being how tired IÂ am and how physically tired IÂ feel and my brain trying to will me to sleep. IÂ get up now and feel the urge to…

Darn
It’s 3:06am, and I’m regretting the nap IÂ took yesterday afternoon, or perhaps the large latte (from Krispy Kreme, no less, IÂ had a moment of weakness that lasted approximately from the minute Kathryn rang saying she was at Tesco’s to the moment that IÂ got to the Krispy Kreme doughnuts place), or perhaps it was the crappy…

Dust Bunnies
Hey, and welcome to the new people on LJÂ who’ve friended me. If I’ve not friended you back, and you use the Cyrillic alphabet then, uh, sorry…Â While I’m sure you’re interesting people I’ve no idea what you’re saying – and attempting to translate your language using Google results in a journal that reads much like the…

Tired and partially accomplished.
So, this weekend’s been good; we’ve been down to see my mum, we’ve sorted out some of the mains wiring in the kitchen, there’s still some of the new fascias to go on, and the kitchen light is still in the wrong place; oh, and I remembered that we’re meant to be switching the old…
