Fine whines...
Aug. 31st, 2007 02:58 pmMeh. 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!

Date: 2007-08-31 02:33 pm (UTC)What i actually WNATED to post was MY BUTTICULAR AREA IS SORE. But not the whole butticular area. The left butticule is fine, but the right butticule is ACHY and all knotted muscles.
But then I was struck by what the responses woudl be if made any mention of the butticular region, so I didn't.

Date: 2007-08-31 02:57 pm (UTC)tho if he always does it without looking, i'd imagine you could end up getting punched in the butticule quite regularly. Also, I am now in love with the word BUTTICULE

Date: 2007-08-31 03:14 pm (UTC)The butticular area as a whole (hur hur hur) has 2 butticules, left butticule and right butticule.
I really, really don't want to have to think about the toilet problems of canadian actors thankyouVERYmuch.
