must work . . . but so tired.

warning: if you're too lazy to take your giant pile of hakurei turnip greens out to the compost and instead leave them on the counter overnight, you just might wake up to a counter full of mostly-dead aphids and scrounging earwigs.

If only I knew where all my ducks were, I could set about rowing them.

To whoever's in charge: Please, please let this weekend go quickly. Let it be painless. Let it be something enjoyable.

I found a bunch of Hallmark cards from my ex girlfriend today. We were only together for eight out of nine months, and yet she found around seven opportunities to give me a card for something. Valentines, birthday, graduation, sick days, and stuff. One of them had a romantic coupons booklet of unused coupons that she never let me use... I don't think she liked me all that much.

Exes suck. But at least she cared enough to send Hallmark!

Could you possibly beg for more attention? I mean, I know that negative attention is better than none, but golly, you are an attention ho-bag.

The new director is kinda hot-ish. Older. Funny. I can't decide if I'm attracted or not. Though, honestly, the one that charmed my heart I couldn't decide about either.

(Insert string of swear words here.)

I have a frozen left shoulder. At least it wasn't a symptom of something more serious such as a heart attack or stroke.

I spoke to my Doctor daughter today. She told me to get it looked at now! I drove seven miles to the local minor injuries clinic. They told me that all they could do was to call an emergency ambulance to get me into casualty, but looking at me, and talking to me, they didn't think that was essential but I must see a doctor today, preferably now.

I drove back seven miles to my Surgery. The reception staff went into panic mode, trying to remember their first aid for heart attacks, but I told them I didn't feel that bad. But they arranged for a doctor to see me within five minutes.

He provisionally diagnosed frozen shoulder and gave me a prescription for painkillers and cream to rub on the affected part. He also asked me to go to our local hospital and get the shoulder X-rayed to rule out a fractured or dislocated shoulder even though he considered that unlikely.

I drove to our local hospital's outpatient clinic. My X-ray was taken within ten minutes. No sign of dislocation or fracture but the X-ray will be assessed in detail and a report sent to my doctor.

I rang my (private) physiotherapist. They gave me an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. I rang daughter and told her the diagnosis. She warned me that the painkiller could cause constipation!

Time elapsed from telephoning daughter, then visiting three NHS facilities, and to arranging physiotherapy?

Two hours.

But I shouldn't be driving. If my car wasn't automatic, I couldn't have driven.

Estimated time to full recovery if it is a severe frozen shoulder? Three months to two years.

I really adore the women in my support group

Oh, my God! I haven't written anything in two plus years. Why am I still here?

Those pumpkin shoes should hatch a few plot bunnies all on their own.

yah, you'd think they would. I guess there's more to me than just those shoes.

You'd thinks so, otherwise why have the shoes.

I have written a snippet or two, but nothing I could ever think of submitting anywhere.

Well, that was an utterly dispiriting writer's group. It was that moment when you show someone your shiny new baby of a story and they say, "Eh, it's a story. The ears are a little big, and the nose is a bit mashed." Thought I had a thicker hide than that. Just wanted someone to love it the way I do, even if they have constructive criticisms for it.

TY Hopefully just my sleep deprivation making a mountain out of a molehill. I really do like the story.

Don't let them get to you. We all know that you can write great stories.

Woohoo!

I wonder why I'm always the one that writes PM's to keep the conversation going.

Holy cow! I just realized that I have shoes scattered everywhere in this house.

It's all reduced to jumping through hoops.

It's a lot more fun, though, when you're the one holding the hoops.

Unfortunately, I'm the one who's being made to jump.

Don't be afraid. Go ahead and jump and I will catch you.
