jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Default)

On Friday, I confidently declared that I would be back today, refreshed, re-caffeinated and ready for the week. In fact I am tired, in pain and waiting for my rather shortened day to finish. Best laid plans of mice and men etc etc.

There's so much I want to write about, from the trials and tribulations of thesis submission (keep track of those references, folks!) to the zoo to a wonderful meal by the river and a magical walk along the South Bank, but it's all going to have to wait until I am no longer buried under invoices and books and spreadsheets.

Hope y'all are well and had a nice weekend. I'll try to catch up on comments from last week tomorrow, when I don't want to curl up round a hot water bottle and cry.

Thanks. There are definitely times when I am convinced that my body hates me. Now I have proof.

Have been meaning to email you, btw. Sorry for dropping off the face of the planet - time to start brainstorming?

Neat. I'm hesitant to start before the weekend, as I'm being whisked away somewhere Saturday-Monday, so let's aim for mid/late next week? I think unless I put a date on it, you're going to be working on my 'it's three days to the deadline and I haven't written anything' timetable, and then I will have GUILT.

Er. Why are we whispering? ;)

oh wait.

Whatever works best for you is cool for me. But yeah, we probably should start soon...ish. I have a tendency to start flailing and shrieking about three days to the deadline ;)

*whistles innocently* That doesn't sound familiar. Even slightly. Honest.

Hokay, maybe I'll try to get you something in the next few days and we can maybe start putting words to it late next week. Or something.

...I just put 'small' in and the computer does it for me. Seriously, I know nothing...

Words? Who needs words? We can just project the epic tale of crack woe with our minds!

You mean like this? Geez, that's ridiculously easy. I've been doing it the hard way!

Oh I'm so going to regret asking this, but.... What's the hard way?

Seriously, it's me. You thought it was going to be complicated?


I KNOW WE COULD. TRUFAX. The only problem being that I'm not sure everyone else has the right kind of brain to interpret it ;)

The hard way requires knowing FONT SIZES. And knowing if you're counting up or down... this is much easier.

If they don't have the right kind of brain, then it's the WRONG kind of brain and--that made no sense. Moar coffee.

I hope you feel better soon. I got your card this weekend, and it was such a spirit-lifter!

Oh yay! That's not too bad on the posting-front. Manchester was a great city :)

I have a cup of tea, the laptop, a stuffed penguin and my husband making me dinner. I'll get there *hugs back*

Oy, coming back after a busy weekend is more busy, and it's not fair to have to deal with pain, too. ::gentle hugs::

Yeah, it was a bit O.O but I'm doing better now I'm home with tea, the computer and a stuffed penguin ;)

Thanks
