Yes, i know its Tuesday, but i wrote this last night m’kay?

Its the return of the Monday sundries post

(Otherwise known as I’m rather brain dead right now and ill just update you on my life instead)

(which if you follow me on twitter then you will mostly know already)

(so please forgive me, there are pictures…!)

….This weekend I decorated my bedroom, it went from this red hell to this calm oasis (with the cat’s investigating). It is much more relaxing now and less like a cave. I also ordered some art work for the walls

… I have also realised I am a pretty messy person; my little flat is always a tip. I drink and smoke too much when I am left to my own devises, but despite last week’s admission I am actually quite content right now, nesting…however, despite the nesting I have discovered that I have to sleep with the light on when I am alone. I’m not sure when I got scared of the dark, but I have.

…Yesterday I handed in my first university essay in 7 years (impact of climate change on the economy) which I admit I really struggled with. Somehow, when I was applying for this course I forgot that I’m not particularly academic.

…But, work wise… I am off to Athens next weekend to present at a conference on Climate Change, I admit that im shit scared as its to 200 people. If anyone knows anyone who lives in Athens then let me know, otherwise ill be spending Saturday night alone in my hotel room or eating dinner alone in a restaurant. At least there is free wifi…

…Healthwise I have contacted a hypno-therapist about my IBS and have a blood test waiting for the postal strike to end to try and find out what is making me so ill. I spent 3 days in bed last week sick as a dog and I’m honestly sick to the back teeth of it. Plus I haven’t been able to sleep very well recently, I’m currently on 4 hours a night and that’s if the cats don’t wake me up. Its getting to sleep that’s the problem… oh and waking up again. My skin is sallow, i’m getting spots and i’m walking around in a daze all the time.

…Holiday wise I am looking forward to Christmas, 11 days off and I get to give my nephew a big cuddle and see his little face open his first presents…and then pull down the tree, I am also planning a trip to Budapest in January, if anyone has any recommendations/has been before…

…I am also happy to report that Fin has now had his cast removed and his leg is slowly getting better, at least it no longer looks like it died. Here he is complete with his plastic collar, poor boy! And if you missed it, here is one of Fin’s more unusual sleeping positions. Lily’s shaved bits are growing back slowly after her op, but she has yet to calm down, even though she is meant to. She is also a little overweight and is now on a diet which she is not impressed with.

I think thats it for now…Normal service will resume when my brain is back from its holidays…

Kx

P.s how are you?
