Fine whines...

Meh. Again. Having one of those Everything Going Wrong Days. Or indeed Weeks.

New car is lovely, took it for a spin to belfast t'other day and it is quite a lot of fun to drive, even for an automatic. Hurrah! It really does go VROOOOM when you want to ;)

On the downside, it appears that, strangely enough, going from not driving at all for several weeks to making a nearly 4 hour round trip to pay for the car in one go last friday was not such a good idea.
A combination of that and lower back going wonky has left me with sore back, sore hip and a non-broken leg full of achy, spasmy muscles.
Watching them twitch randomly is fun, but trying to find a comfortable way to sit to work (or idle online) or watch tv or sleep or... anything is not.
Walking - or rather hopping - any distance is out too. Getting up off the chair/sofa/bed is particularly challenging.
I even cunningly managed to fall over trying to get up the steps to the bedroom and land on the sore hip, which, although probably better than landing on a broken ankle, didn't help things. Tho thanks to sufficient padding, my dignity was much more hurt than anything else ;p

Internet connection keeps going wonky too, resulting in having to phone bt helpline [ETA because Thesme MADE me] before the laptop got thrown out the window. Although they were actually useful, despite having to explain repeatedly that no, I *couldn't* carry the laptop out to connect it to the wireless thingy with wires, so that was ok. I suppose.


On the plus side, as Mum has gone off to visit her sisters for the weekend, I have the house to myself to be as badtempered and grumpy as a I like, without having to worry about snapping at people or making the effort to be polite. An evening of wine and firefly may be in order. Possibly even popcorn, if I can figure out a way to get it from the kitchen to here.

For now tho, I should get some work done. Happy friday everyone!

(no subject)

Well, I've done the whiny post, so I figure I might as well be a proper ljer and post a meme AND cat pictures too...

1. PICK OUT A SCAR YOU HAVE, AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT IT...
I have a scar on my knee from when I was about 3 and was dancing to the test-card music (the girl with the blackboard and dolls) by spinning round lots, fell over and impaled my knee on the corner of the marble fireplace. Apparently it was deep enough to see the knee cap!

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Which room? I have MANY Rooms! Most of them have paint on. And photographs of friends & family to cheer my lonely existence.
