This is just a quick post to let everyone know that yes, I am indeed still on the face of this planet and causing trouble in one form or another. Mum is home and fine, though she is forbidden from lifting things. This means I am doing much more lifting of things than I thought Mum ever did ( Read more... )

Well, I suppose the good luck couldn't last forever ( Read more... )

Ouch. Yesterday was without a doubt the worst possible day I've had so far in 2008 - and yes, that includes the pap smear I had to have earlier this week ( Read more... )

Well. It's been a heck of a time since I posted last. So I will divide things up into the good and the bad.
