(Mar 26, 2007)
At 8am today, it became One Of Those Days.
You know how lots of mobile phones have calendar functions now? Well, when I got mine a few months ago, I went mad adding people's birthdays, my appointments, anything I could be bothered adding. And then quickly got bored and forgot all about it.
Only, at the time of buying said phone, there was a man in my life. And, of course, I added his birthday. Which, as I discovered when my alarm went off this morning, just happens to be today.
Bum.
So of course, now I can remember his birthday, along with all the other things I forced myself to forget about when he turned out to be not as nice as I'd once thought he was.
Going to have a DVD marathon tonight, I think. Apparently Torchwood Volume 3 is out today, and I just happen to go past WHSmith on my way home. And I REALLY need it for therapeutic reasons today! (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)

Happy anniversary!
(Mar 12, 2007)
To, erm, me.
Yesterday it was a whole year since I smoked my last cigarette. So big raspberries to all those people who said I couldn't do it. I don't even WANT a fag anymore.

Flu
(Feb 26, 2007)
Haven't had it in nine years, and certainly the first time I've had it without someone around to look after me (and Madam, who is thankfully very understanding for her age). However, my impeccable sense of timing, which I hated when I was at school, led me to only get ill outside of term time.
Still had to do the Tesco run, so did a HUGE shop with the help of a taxi (£3.50 for what would normally be walking distance!!!) giving me the opportunity to stay home for a long time if necessary - my friend who had it assured me he didn't leave his bed for a fortnight when he had it. Must've been man flu.
I regained the ability to sleep after a couple of days, at which point I felt fine, until the blasted cough started. I actually pulled muscles doing it, and had to bend over and/or pull my legs up to my chest whenever I started coughing. I'm still coughing a little bit, but it doesn't hurt anymore.
Just waiting for my voice to come back now. It's almost back already, at the moment I can talk but I can't sing. Last week I tried to pay my water bill at the Post Office which was difficult. If I lose my voice again, I'll be sure to write little notes for the various things I have to do.
Anyway, I was ill, and now I'm not. It was kind of a disappointment really.

Bloody holidays
(Feb 12, 2007)
Almost had a panic last night. I was looking at my Radio Times and discovered CBBC and CBeebies had switched times on BBC2 - a good indicator of school holidays. (Seriously, do toddlers get up earlier at half-term?!)
Nobody at college the previous week had mentioned half term. I thought I'd phone the college and find out, but the switchboard doesn't open until after I get off my train at the other end, and round about the time I get the bus. So I had to do my usual getting-up-an-hour-earlier routine, not knowing if there was any point in doing so, hoping to call the college from the bus stop.
You've probably figured out by now that the college is open, because I'm here typing this.
THANK YOUR CHOSEN DEITY, the train was full of schoolkids and students (wow, never thought I'd say that!). Turns out this is one of the holidays we have a week later than everyone else.

One week later...
(Feb 5, 2007)
Much the same, except it's Richard Hammond this week. He looks a bit older since the crash. Better, IMO  .
