screaming quietly

Teetering on the brink at the moment when ALL I WANT TO DO IS SCREAM!!! Trying to get some work done but been forced to move to another floor only to have constant distraction from the sales team who are busy chatting/playing with Facebook/doing a McDonalds run when my team actually have quite a lot to do. I'm in a post-festive miserable phase- missing family, thinking about the year closing and what I didn't achieve, sick of seeing other people I don't really get on with and fed up of enforced festive glee.

I shouldn't feel this way. I got spoiled at Christmas (there is pretty much nothing left on my Amazon wishlist) so I have lots of new things to do, see and try. Dearly Beloved is excited about his flying lesson so his present went down well. Survived 10 hours of my out-laws but still have them round tomorrow night. And I've forgotten about New Year! Another evening with his maiden aunt and Jools Holland. Last year we moved venues to our new home as I couldn't face an evening with the ashes of the dead cat in a little box on the coffee table again....not a great sight each time you reach for the Quality Street.

Maybe this is all down to illness. Been off due to cold and pulled muscle already this month and I'm going slowly mad from my skin flaring up and the cold is coming back a little so under the weather. Some leftover tranquillisers from my injury to my neck in my bag (used as a muscle relaxant)....very, very tempted

in the bleak midwinter

Yes, I've been gone awhile. Lucky you can manage without me, isn't it?

I'm a very poorly bunny at the moment-winter has kicked in and knocked me senseless with the latest strain of cold virus attacking pretty much everyone I know. Had an unpleasant few days sweating through every set of bedding I own-had to decamp to Dearly Beloveds bed earlier while duvet covers and pillowcases were festooned around the house drying away...in lieu of the christmas decorations I have had neither the inclination nor the enthusiasm to sort out yet.

Lots been going through my mind-here's a teaser/trailer package of what I'll be blogging about soon:
-climate change. I'll be vacillating between the attitudes of 'Bored now' and 'OMFG'.
-purging. Getting rid of stuff,thoughts and people you don't need in your life
-the tv series 'Bones'. Why I love the characters and an opinion about the much-blogged-about-already Booth speech about the difference between having sex and making love
-christmas. I'm usually way more excited about it, honestly. Office party and Victorian christmas fair coming up
