Morning all,
I’m beginning to recover from my bronchitis; I went to the doctor on Thursday and they checked. My lungs are no longer crackling but the cough might last another couple of weeks.
And the interesting week continues
Hey, I’m back with an update.
Continue reading “And the interesting week continues”
It’s been an interesting week
And it’s still only Wednesday.
Annoying myself
So, it’s official, I’m an idiot.
One of my coping mechanisms when I have stuff going round my brain is to write it down like a blog post then hit the little rubbish bin.
Except this afternoon I hit publish by accident and something was published that should never have seen the light of day. Luckily, only two or three people saw it, and one of them rang me to tell me. I’ve taken my rantings down obviously, and deleted the links I could find, but still the damage might have been done.
I’ve been ruminating on it for the last two hours, but now I feel better. Writing works as catharsis but I need to remember when it’s appropriate to publish my thoughts and when it isn’t.
I need to find a less risky cathartic outlet, just in case I forget. Again.

The author describes humanity as being plants in a garden, each with it’s own form and identity, yet all part of the garden as a whole.
Such a beautiful image.
Sometimes I see stuff worth reblogging
Oh for crying out loud
I’ve just spent an hour carefully crafting a book review and all of it has disappeared when I press publish!
Beginning to get slightly miffed about this happening all the damn time.
Alone at Christmas
And it’s been so good for me.
Tis the season to be jolly
Or not.
I had a bad night and today hasn’t been much better but I’m getting my head sorted. The things that were worritting at me have been dealt with, and now I’m trying not to focus on them until they are resolved. I’ve done my part and I can’t control the rest.
