There's a certain type of man who tells you you're rude when you decide not to talk. How dare a woman do such a thing. How dare she not give him the last word. ~~~ He will have the last word...
If anyone here has a problem with women speaking up about rape and sexual assault because boohoo it hurts men, please go away now. I have just banned someone on LJ for ranting to me about that....
Okay so now I'm seasoning my new Bialetti (stovetop espresso maker) and messing about with fish. I do need to get out into the yard at some point, but it won't be today because there's a chilly w...
My reading has slowed down a tiny bit, as the Giro d'Italia is on and I feel compelled to sit in front of the screen in order to mostly ignore it. I am watching through Eurosport - no other opt...
It's hard work, not being invisible. All you have to do is stop moving. Which is rotten, because sometimes moving is too hard. And starting again is even harder. How do you set boundaries whe...
One of those odd days of hilarity and horror. Rolling in the waves, breathing when I can. ~~~ I feel like I am going through some kind of important transformation and that I need to get a han...
The advocate came by today, really just to go through the assorted documents for the case conference for the forthcoming legal appeal about the NDIS. She will be coming here and bringing her wor...
I've hit that point that I hit when I have really not had enough sleep. That point where I know if I shut my eyes I will fall asleep very quickly, but that I will wake up later feeling awful and ...
It's a Monday, and I've been sitting here enjoying feeling like I have nothing to do. I'm pretty sure that this isn't really the case, but I'm going with it for now. This entry was originally p...
We might be building up to a thunderstorm today, I hope so. I am sitting under my aircon, it's on the 'dry' function which I like to imagine as a big set of squeezy rollers. Also, it's only O...
21. Ann Leckie, Ancillary Sword . 22. Ann Leckie, Ancillary Mercy . 23. Tove Jansson, The True Deceiver Guardian review. I don't think I would have known how to read this novel without the revi...
Those songs from years ago that you can't quite get nostalgic about, because you never managed to be quite there. Things were always happening just around the next corner, it seemed. This entr...
Hmm. I hope my goldfish don't eat themselves to death out there in the outside bath. Much mosquito larvae! I'll get some more fish fairly soon I think. Although I've also got the pump sorted, so...
Okay so I've done stuff. But not the freezer emptying. Ergh. It's like admitting I've made a horrible mistake. OTOH, if I don't face up to it I'm going to have quite a lot of stuff in there for...
I had a hellnight last night for no reason that I can fathom except that I had an unpleasant day, also for no reason that I can fathom. So I had gotten myself into one of those ruts where I am to...
Name the movie that contain these lines. 1. Oh...a leaf! (Hint: Eh, une feuille!) 2. That is not my dog. This entry was originally posted at http://splodgenoodles.dreamwidth.org/3008363.html ....
I saw the ortho surgeon today and he was really calm and laid back. Maybe I only got in so soon because there was just a last minute cancellation. He thinks it will get better by itself, he think...
No really. I am. Far too much crap this week. And oh, my left leg's going numb so I have to see an ortho next week. It's excruciatingly painful when I get up in the morning, and now I'm getting...
Today I am happy because my GP is sick. I know this makes me look bad, which is why I use a pseudonym. ~~~ I'm not really happy that she's sick, I am happy that she has cancelled all today's ...
17. Peter Carey, True History Of The Kelly Gang, available in any secondhand bookshop. I'm still thinking about this, for all the right reasons. He talks about towns and places not far to the ...
Heavens. I feel quite accomplished today and it's not yet 2PM. I haven't actually done much stuff myself, but I've done some great delegating and planning, also some dishes. ~~~ It is, incide...
My GP thinks I have diabetes. Type 2. Further tests for confirmation, and to see how bad it is. Although it's not impossible that I'm still at the pre-diabetic stage apparently. Although giv...
Little brain, little brain, let me come in! Not by the hair of my human's little chin! I have no idea why that popped up, my brain has gone a bit feral in this weather. ~~~ We've had a day of ...
Sshhhhhhh! I won't say this loudly because we know I jinx myself every time. But it's possible, maybe, that I'm not as sick this week as I was last week. Touchwood! Sshhhhhhh! ~~~~ I went shopp...
