I have my first day of work tomorrow evening! I decided not to fax the info I forgot, since it has so much info on it, I feel more comfortable dropping it off instead. Strangely I'm nervous about working, only because my hand is hurting already, and I'm afraid it'll cause a problem.

So, for tomorrow:
*Get up at a reasonable time
*shower
*check to see if Dr called in rx
*pick up rx (assuming it was called in)
*look for black shorts at Walmart or Kohls
*WORK!!!!

Sorry about the delay on the kitten photos, i'm using mobile broadband to upload and it sucks! it takes forever and a day to get stuff uploaded.

Ivy-you are up and about, that is good news :)
For me - Going to load the car up in prep for tomorrow, and try and have a relatively quiet day and not stress too much about tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone

Vixen, I love ALL accents...mostly because I don't have one. I've lived most of my life in the south, but have no southern accent. Though don't English people say that Americans have accents and they don't? I guess it depends on your perspective...
How long of a drive did you say you have tomorrow? Oh, and don't stress about tomorrow...just deal with it then! That's what I try to tell myself...deal with things only as they happen.

Ivy, I'm a bit worried...you haven't responded after taking a shower. Did your wings not go away and you accidentally flew away? If so, you should fly toward Georgia and visit! Oh, and no I don't have shorts I could dye. I can wear either khaki or black shorts or pants, I just don't want to wear any of the ones I have there since making pizza gets messy and they end up smelling foodish after a while. I'd rather buy a cheap pair and not worry about stains/wear...thus looking at Walmart first!

Choc-I understand. My computer needs to be replaced. It's so slow uploading/downloading anything. It's not my internet, just the computer, and it won't be replaced until I get a "real" job and pay off some debt! I look forward to seeing the kitties when you get them up!

I decided I'd like to keep the tentacles, actually: they're good for multitasking :-).

I understand about the shorts. Me, I'd be going for black too, as khaki would show stains so easily, and tomato is a horror to get out in the wash.

I'm sending you lots of good-luckish vibes for tomorrow, Becky and Vixen.

* shower and dress - yes
* tlc for legs, so I'm respectable for appointment - yes
* appointment - yes
* make shopping list - yes
* grab some basic groceries - yes. Actually got more than the basics, and did a proper shop, so that takes the pressure off for a few days.
* clear a few hotspots - a very few
* rest and read, as needed - yes


* ring someone - no need: people rang me :-)
* post letters - yes


I've realised I've got my priorities completely out of whack here, and that I'm not looking after myself properly. Getting lots done, yes, and that's good for the stress levels, but I'm not doing enough basics like exercise and eating properly and spirituality and social life. I'm going to have a think and see if I can rejig things, because what I'm doign may be productive, but it certainly isn't healthy.

Please don't stress about the uploading, Choc. Kitten photos would be nice, but it sounds as if it will be expensive and really aggravating for you, and I'd rather you be in funds and happy :-).

Ivy, off to do a bit more tidying, dishes etc.

Dont worry about it costing loads of money to upload stuff. I dont actually pay for it *cough* Just two new photos of the terrible twosome! My uploads keep failing, silly internet!
Posted 9/16/2010 9:33 AM (GMT 0)
Oooh! Chairs to climb! What fun :-).

Thanks so much for sharing those, Choc. They made me laugh :-).

Kittens are cute, aren't they?
Posted 9/16/2010 9:34 AM (GMT 0)
Tentacles might make it hard to make new friends, Ivy...or keep the ones you already have. I don't know many people who wouldn't run if I walked in a room with them. If you can figure out a way to remove/hide them, you might be ok though! ;)

As for the priorities, I agree. You definitely don't want to get more done just to feel worse. It's ok if you do it every once in a while, but all the time would wear you down and you'd continue to go down further and take longer to recover.

Choc-I miss when mine was a kitty...they're so cute when that little!
Posted 9/16/2010 1:23 PM (GMT 0)
Those kittens are gorgeous, Choc. More and more, I wish we could get a cat or a dog.

@Ivy - With regards to what you said about your priorities, you have my support 100% on that, for whatever it is worth. You go, girl :p ... Don't worry about not having a spotlessly clean home; obviously nobody wants to live in a tip, but a bit of dust never killed anyone.

*yawns* Crikey. The few replies I have made on HW today have worn me out and I haven't done anything yet <_<.

TLCs:

*take some stuff down to the dump

Erm, that's about it :-/ I would think of more, but I had a terrible night last night (no rows this time...) and feel like I'm not up to being go-getting today.

Monkiray-No one thinks they have an accent until they move away for a while and then revisit somewhere. I never thought that i did until we visited where I grew up as a child I couldn't believe the accent and thought 'I don't talk like that, do I?" lol

Makes me laugh if we are watching a film with mostly american actors in it and then the odd english one pops up(like Hugh Grant) and again i find it incredulous to think that we sound like that :)

As for the driving, 4 hours each way, plus unloadingstuff from car into new accom and taking her to local supermarket to stock up on the heavier canned type foods(gonna be a long day!)

Choc, the kittens look fab, have thought about getting a cat and if I had a choice it would be a silver tabby but I think that deep down I am more a 'dog' type person.

Can someone do a 'poo'for me too as I could do with some tentacles!!

Ivy- Getting lots done isn't a priority, I am sure that you feel good in one way cause they are done but physically it may not leave you in a better place, my solution is to write everything down that needs doing(in a bid to mentally de clutter the head)-but  I guess that is what we do on these threads:) Just remember, anything done is an achievement!!

Posted 9/16/2010 4:13 PM (GMT 0)
Vixen-I'd be happy to wave my wand for you, but tentacles are just what Ivy got...you might get something different...like antlers. Those wouldn't help too much.
As for the accent, or lack thereof- I have lived most of my life in Georgia, some in Kansas, but my parents grew up in Ohio. Growing up we were corrected if we spoke with a southern accent or said words incorrectly. I use southern words now, but technically have a "midwest" accent (which generally means you have no accent). I notice people's accents a lot because truly, I don't have one. I get asked all the time where I'm from because I don't sound like a southern belle. Maybe to someone outside the US I might have an accent, but not here.

What gets me about actors is that they can learn to speak completely without accent that they've had all their lives...like House. If you hear him talk, he has one, but on the show, you would think he's American. Also, when singing, people lose their accent. I just don't get that at all.

Ok, knowing the drive time and everything, I can see why you dread tomorrow. That's a really long day. I hope it goes well!

Now, for me to vent. I wasn't able to sleep last night...rough night, and now I've been up for about 24 hours (how I hate insomnia). I have to work at 4:30 and I don't know what time I get off (it's based on how busy it is) so I'm going to start intaking coffee in about an hour and keep drinking until I drive home. I'll be so tired that I'll go to sleep right when I get home tonight!

* dishes - nearly done. only a couple of trays and a saucepan left to do
* not worry about my giro turning up - done cos it DID turn up!
* plan trip to leeds - kinda, not too sure about what i want do!
* go to post office to cash giro - done
* put money on our electricity and gas metres - done
* eaten more than yesterday - done
* uploaded kitten photos - done some but have LOADS more

It started out a slow day, but perked up once my giro arrived. I'm now really tired, so am streched out on the sofa with a bag of m&m's. Is anyone else like me, i eat them by color? seems to make the bag last longer!!

xx

OK, This is me checking out for the night. Hope you all have a productive pain free day tomorrow. I know for sure that within about two hours of driving my bum is going to be numb!!
Posted 9/16/2010 7:06 PM (GMT 0)
Be safe. I hope things go smoothly for you!
Posted 9/16/2010 7:29 PM (GMT 0)
Drive safe vixen!!
Posted 9/16/2010 10:40 PM (GMT 0)
I fufilled my one and only TLC... <_<. I did indeed make it to the dump and dropped off an ancient CRT monitor and some fluorescent tubes.

@vixen - Good luck for tomorrow! Safe and (relatively) stress-free driving :p
Posted 9/16/2010 10:43 PM (GMT 0)
All the best, Vixen. I hope it goes well.

Becky, what exactly will you be doing for your job? I assumed deliveries, but now I'm thinking that I may be wrong.

Choc, I'd love to know what you plan to do in Leeds, once you decide yourself.

People are forever asking me where I'm from. They keep telling me I have to be either British or French or South African or New Zealander and refuse to believe me when i say no, just ordinary Australian... Weird.

I'm still half-asleep - sensible post later, I hope.
Posted 9/16/2010 10:44 PM (GMT 0)
NCOT. Kudos to you. That's a job I need to do: the old computer has been sitting in the car for more than a week now, so well done.
Posted 9/17/2010 12:53 AM (GMT 0)
I only did it because the monitor had been in the boot of my dad's car for about 3 months and it was driving my mum nuts. So if you feel bad about not dropping off the computer sooner, just remember my dad.
Posted 9/17/2010 1:06 AM (GMT 0)
:-) Hey, I've carted things around for more than three months. If you're low on energy anyway, it's hard to find any spare for errands like those.

Have you made any progress on the volunteer front, btw?
Posted 9/17/2010 2:22 AM (GMT 0)
Meh, it's not like there isn't a back seat to put the shopping on :p

Er... I've looked at the website? No, in a nutshell :-/ Been through a mini bad patch, but I have felt better today compared to yesterday (not hard), so hopefully I can get back on track soon. Even something like this I have a lot of anxiety about, but I've got to square up to that and get through it, if anything is to change.

*sees time* Okay, now I've really got to get to bed. Goodnight :)
