31st May 2007:

I feel so tired lately... yawn, yawn, yawn... but it's good because it's knocked the procrastination bit off - and I just plough ahead and do stuff... get stuff done and organised and to the next stage... and so I am glad... :-)

28th May 2007:

'Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.'
Erich Segal 1937- : Love Story (1970)

It makes me want to cry - boo,hoo,hoo... - it's that time of the month again... :-S

... Hold on everybody - the waves are coming!... brace yourselves...

25th May 2007:

I am going to try to be more myself in public now... and not just with close friends... though I don't think Joe Public will want me to be myself... :-I

23rd May 2007:

I remember eyes that shine
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free...

[Lyrics to 'I'll Set You Free' by The Bangles]

Today, is another good day - but we are so busy at work - it's difficult to take a breath... This weekend we are up in Stoke-on-Trent to visit Jim's mum...

But there is a hell of a lot to do between now and then... - work and life organisation stuff/ errands/ car stuff/ = maintenance of life...

... I was telling a friend I was going to join some mailing lists/ groups - so that I could use words like 'dude', 'seeyaz', 'latez', 'LOL', 'OMG', etc and my username could be 'funkyspirit' or something...

22nd May 2007:

Today I feel really good - yesterday was a kind of ill day and unable to fight back the pressures of life... It is now lunchtime... things are back on track - still, feel like the next two weeks are going to be busy - in that they involve a lot of upheaval of things... - and I don't like change/ am a control-freak type-ish...

20th May 2007:

And so I read... and read...

19th May 2007:

I am going to try something different and that is to timetable more reading into my life... I write list and lists of things to do - but they rarely include recreational/ leisure things... Only stuff that needs to be done like filing, what food to buy to cook, re-organising books (not actually reading them!)... - except the reading takes a lot of time and I can buy a book and not read it for 5 years but think about reading it all the time during those 5 years... I guess I am a bit slow...

Today, Jim & I went out to buy clothing... I bought a white shirt - not for work... and some flip-flops... Jim bought a pair of converse sneakers... I have decided that I am going to set my own style - since trying on a lot of these trendy tops and finding they aren't really me and also that they don't flatter my figure which is getting fuller... (due to the meds)...

It is now 10.30pm now at the moment... am a bit tired... will eat something and perhaps call it a night... Tomorrow is a lazy day and just chilling out... Things have been different these last two weekends... I tend to be less hyper about cleaning and tidying and organising... and finding that I feel I can really relax and forget about the world for a while... - And then back to work on a Monday (with a vengence) - what does that phrase mean?

Anyway, oh, yes... If I feel up to it, tomorrow I am going to make ravioli and stuff it with roast peppers and mushrooms... yum, yum... :-)

Oh, yes... that was the thing... I get sensory overload quite easily and so that's why I can't take in too much written work in one time... It's as if it has to all pass through a very small funnel and the queue/ back log is immense - which I know but we can't get passport control to move any faster...

18th May 2007:

Sometimes I don't learn from my mistakes because I am still too busy hurting from them...

15th May 2007:

I parked here first... and then the other 'silvers' all gathered round... (Mine is the Vauxhall Corsa)

14th May 2007:

Running Dream...
I try my hardest to run/ get away but my legs are as heavy as lead and I feel weak and exhausted...

13th May 2007:

I watched/ heard this on YouTube recently. It's very beautiful. If you click on the link, enjoy! Giovanni Sollima (Daydream)

10th May 2007:

I have to confess, I am a music junkie... I'm high as a kite... I had withdrawal symptoms when I took my car in to fix the radio code thing... Jim has responded by offering to buy me an IPod - and so I have found a nice black IPod nano 8GB from Amazon for a bargain £144.05 :-P
Anyway, what planet is he from? - encouraging my addiction! :-P

9th May 2007:

I sometimes think I am a camp gay man stuck inside a woman's body... It's turned 180 degrees and so that's why I'm a straight woman... :-P

7th May 2007:

This weekend, I have been swotting up on my secret mission... can't tell you now but maybe later... no, really, it's just I'm trying to explain why I haven't been so active lately in my webdiary... but maybe I WILL explain all later...

At the moment, it is raining... I have been watching a film this morning... but now I am eating the dreaded Oatabix/ stodge...

6th May 2007:

This weekend is a weekend of spring cleaning... and organising stuff... so far it has gone really well and is an extension of my decluttering phase also...

3rd May 2007:

Sometimes Jim and I joke about where we came from - I come from the psycho-girl farm and he comes from the geek factory...

2nd May 2007:

I am scared... I think I am getting ill again... :-I Was going to have a long soak in the bath to think about it all...

Maybe I should wear a skirt and frequent bars... hee, hee... (crazy fit of giggly laughter!)... sorry, in a strange mood at the moment... The weather is looking really good lately and the bank holiday weekend is looking sunny :-)

1st May 2007:

Wow... just been listening to my copy of Eternal Flame 'The Best Of The Bangles'... they did some nice catchy songs :-)

Manic Monday, Eternal Flame, If She Knew What She Wants, Walk Like An Egyptian, Going Down To Liverpool & Hazy Shade of Winter... la, la, la... oooh, oooh...
