  • Well at least I don’t feel so guilty

    So, I have this terrible guilt about days off. I hate taking time off, even when I’m sick. I always feel like I’m skiving; even when I’m ill enough that stairs seem like some kind of obstacle course and, as I have been, I’m spending all my time asleep.

    But I finally went to see the GP today, although I’m actually feeling more okay today. It’s probably a bacterial respiratory tract infection, which is why it’s taking such a long time for my body to fight it. And explains the 37.7 deg temperature I had last night. Apparently if it gets worse, and I get worse temperatures of chest pains or start coughing up anything that’s more interesting than yellow goo, then I’m to go back and have antibiotics, although I think she’d’ve preferred me to have them now.

    Unfortunately, sitting up to use the computer for more than a few minutes at a time makes me feel worse. So I’m going to stop, and go back to staring at mindnumbing daytime telly.

  • Quiesence

    ‘scuse the spelling of the title.

    So, the new heatsink arrived today. This is fortunate, because I’m very bored being at home and being ‘ill’. I declare myself ill, because this morning I was running a temperature of 37.4 deg, and feeling really quite unwell. Still a quick dose of paracetamol and I felt more human.

  • One word

    butterfly….

  • Silence is golden

    Except of course when it leads to a hideous misunderstanding between friends.

    I thought she was asleep…. so I didn’t say anything…. She thought I was pissed off and so didn’t say anything…. Bah.

    These LJs are dangerous things; on the other hand, if it weren’t for LJ we’d probably not have finally managed to communicate the fact that Lauren could actually hear my PC throughout the house; and I wasn’t understanding how grating she was finding it. I guess the fact that my hearing’s terrible is a bit unfortunate sometimes.

    Anyway, a new quiet harddisk and a heatsink with no fan is winging it’s way here, so hopefully in a couple of days my PC will be back in action, and somewhat quieter.

  • Lousy

    I feel lousy.

    Not, I’ll grant, anywhere near as bad as I did the last 3 days. But I still feel sicky (probably from the huge amounts of gunk my sinuses have produced and I’ve swallowed over the last couple of days – although you probably didn’t want to know that).

    I have in fact, felt like crap, for the last 3 days. Unfortunately, we’ve conducted our house move with me feeling like crap. We’ve still got a bunch of stuff over in the other house; all my tools, for example. My printer. Lots and lots of stuff.

    One set of draws… (more…)

  • Friday thru’ Sunday

    I am so tired. So very damn tired.

    My entire body and soul ache with the sheer effort of being sat upright. Every ounce of me is worn out. Why?

  • Bikes, Cars and uh, vintage tv.

    So, I got my car back today.

  • Things they haven’t done.

    So, I let the garage do the work on the basis that it’d be an easy job, quick retest, and thus I could have my car back this evening.

    Of course….

    Things they haven’t done:

    – Rung me, like they said they would.
    – Got the parts to fit.
    – Finished the job
    – Redone the MOT.

    Again, remind me why I ever let garages near my car? I’m forgetting.

  • She failed :(

    Poor braking efficency, osr wheel… They’re fixing that and the light which died between here and the test centre (rear numberplate bulb). Feh.

  • Concentration fading….

    …trying to work, but I rang to check I’d not left the immobiliser on and uh, found out my car was being tested at that moment. It’s now 45 minutes later. I still haven’t heard. I am going nuts!
