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.

The Greenshed – Part The First
So today I had a cheerfully productive day. I went for a walk, got and fitted a new headlamp bulb to the Prius*. The old one appears to have been a posh xenon blue bulb, the new one was, of course, a bog-standard one. Hopefully I won’t notice too much in the way of dimming,…

Thoughts about the NHS
So as the Con/Dems continue their march towards entirely privatising the NHS whilst proclaiming loudly that having private companies run big chunks of the NHS is entirely different to privatisation, because it’s still free at the point of use (leaving ‘at the moment’ left distinctly unsaid), I was struck by a brief thought. When people…

Just call me Doors, Kate Doors.
Uh, okay, so that doesn’t have quite such a good ring to it. I’ve never worked out what it is that means that some days I get up with the energy of a thousand suns, burn through activities and feel totally positive and able to do anything; and why some days I get up and,…

Not only is the coat tree up: It’s flowering! Sorry. What can I say. We’re also trying to pick a white for the trim… What’s that you say? Just paint the damn thing white? But which white…? Anyhow. We had the weekend off and headed down to old London town, which it turned out was…

It’s not actually progress but it feels good
Thanks to yesterday’s awesome run of cleaning today has been a very pleasant and unstressful meander through errands and things that are not-exactly-errands-but-nice-to-do. We’ve pottered out and done our shopping and it was one of those days where all the shopkeepers, most of whom know us, were chatty and in a good mood too…thus enabling…

Meh (again)
Despite: – Third of four coats of paint applied to final section of red trim – Cleaned bedroom, changed bedding, reorganised boxes that are ‘temporarily’ in the bedroom whilst we have visitors coming (in April…) – Cleaned the bathroom – Started work on finding my mum’s birthday prezzie – Finally understanding why Plex is playing…

Getting in early
So, a week or two ago I noticed a job offer. In a hospital in the place I want to work…in about 6-9 months or so. Only I’ve never seen any ER jobs offered there when I’ve looked, especially not a 0.6 FTE job. Which is what I work now, and what I’d quite like…

Just in case any one else is completely flummoxed
So there I was having got to a “Until Ubuntu fix the massive honking great bug, I don’t really need to footle with the media server” place. And I sat down with a book and said to the Squeezebox in the lounge, play this album. It went “Of course….No”. Not that it did it in…

Suggestions on a postcard
If anyone’s got any great ideas for overcoming insomnia, now would be good. I’ve woken up at ~2am for the past 4 days – after which I find it impossible to get back to sleep (sort of drift off for 20 minutes then *BANG* I’m awake). Which leaves me exhausted in the morning. And ill.…

Oh, of course
Of course Washington State Nurses Board would have different approved educational assessment companies for nurses out of the USA than the one I’ve used before. So instead of being something in the region of $50 and happening straight away, I instead need to: – Register with a new company – Pay lots of fees –…
