Storms are happening in the UK. Big ones. And although I feel eternally blessed for my close proximity to the bearpit where I work the fact is I live at the top of a hill. And climbing the wee darlin' during a hurricane was never, and never will be, my idea of a good time ( Read more... )

still sick. whatever has hit this part of the world has hit it hard. I've had to extend my sicknote after almost falling over buying food on Monday and then losing my lunch after getting home. now I'm trying to get to see a GP if only to get a script for penicillin. I haven't worked a shift in 214 yet, and this is not doing my mental health any ( Read more... )

I was speaking to my mom on the phone yesterday, and I shared the feeling that ever since I turned 30 life has been speeding like its strapped to a rocket sled. this year I'll be halfway to 40.
