After all the recent gubbins that the universe deemed fit to throw at me of late I had been hoping that this past week may have been a decidedly quieter affair that might allow to get my brains more settled and in as close as it ever gets to some sort of reasonable order. The universe however sadly seemed to have other plans. First it went about ( Read more... )

Well I may perhaps be an unnecessarily oversensitive sort of creature but this year does seem to have commenced with an unusually unncessary level of trying and discomfitting shenanigans! Hence such a long spell since my last journal update, I just don't seem to have had the time nor has brains been able to settle themselves into a reasonable ( Read more... )

So the first fragment of a week in this new year has just about come to its end and it would seem that I yet live. Quite whether it will yet prove to have been the wisest move to schedule the most terrifying and daunting of starts to the year as I did yet remains to be seen but, if nothing else comes of excessive trauma of job assessment stuffs, ( Read more... )

So the Christmas thing is over for another year and so indeed will the year itself in pretty short order. I can't say I feel any much sorrow to be leaving this year behind, it has been a time long on struggle and effort for not much obvious progress or reward. The hopeful promise it showed at the beginning dissipated inexplicably swiftly and the ( Read more... )

So it would seem that the world has failed to end once again. Hm, it keeps doing that. Curious though that a Mayan prophecy, which the Mayans never actually prophesied and indeed whose culture seems not even to have had any notion of the Judeo-Christian concept of an apocaplypse or indeed on single and homogenous manner of recording date and time ( ( Read more... )

Puppy adventures in both reality and fantasy continue in their typical haphazard fashion and whilst I'm in little danger of ever getting confused between the two it's still something of a wry amusement to my excessively analytical mind how the two comapre, contrast and complement each other. Still, the fun news be that having enjoyed some charming ( Read more... )

Hm, it does seem to have been a curious sort of week so far. The first few days seem to have been unfortunately characterised with a little squashy migraine which, on and off, has been doing its best to render my efforts at things rather more than difficult than they needed to be. Fortunately now it does seem that I has just about managed to chase ( Read more... )

The past few days seem to have lifted some quantity of weight from my shoulders, or at least so it might presently feel. I don't imagine it will prove too long before my mind constructs some new yoke to put about them but since I have managed now to make purchases of the essential Christmas gifts and made some provisional travel arrangements, I ( Read more... )

My new fangs and I seem to slowly be becoming better acquainted, if not quite making friends then I thinks we may at least be reaching some kind of gentleman's agreement. Either ways, I has been managing to nibble my way through a reasonable range of foodstuffs, if a little more slowly and deliberately than before and with the occasional awkward ( Read more... )

Another round in the dentist chair survived and now, minus three further teeth bringing the running total of extractions to eight, I have some time to get used to my new replacement fangs! Mr. Dentist Man suggested that these might take a good month or so to really get properly used to so, all things considered, I don't suppose I should consider my ( Read more... )
