What a day….

You know it  has been a tough one, so I have to say sod the health kick  tonight and I’m having a drink 🙂

I’ve still cut out so much I have to have a little treat…

Guinea pig was screaming in the night… he’s  so in pain. I cut away the fur around the wound today to see it better, hoping the air will help. I also separated him from his friend, although he can still see him. They have to be social creatures. I want him some time alone to heal up and maybe I’ll have to keep him like that, but it is a big big sore, not nice…

I’m tired… had the piggy to sort out, the fish…. the cat, the washing, food to get out for tomorrow… change my clothes so I can wash my work gear. I’m beat.  So chilling out tonight and not doing anything 🙂

Catch you all laters…

Hello 🙂

 

Finally getting there. It is Thursday, that means one good thing it is Friday tomorrow…. YEY!

 

I have to be excited about that. It seems like it really has been a long week, although it has been a short one.

 

I am doing my (re) training on my theory for Diving on Saturday. At someone’s house who I probably won’t be able to find. Yikes.

 

It has been an ongoing issue with the dive club about the lack of comittment this last year from anyone available to teach me. I started out great. Did theory lessons 1-3 completed all 5 pool sessions and was waiting for someone to finish theory 4-5 but nothing ever happened. It got too late in the year to be organising any trips out in ‘real’ water because it would be far too cold for me.  And that was that. I paid my membership and  was forgotten about. Sucks, and I’ve had it all out with them, so hoping this time things will be different.

 

Of course I’ll let you know.

 

Work was better today, windy as heck like, got blown all over the place, but it was okay.  In my job the target is to read £300 in sales at least per day. It has been a tough couple of days but I made up for some of it today, which was good.

 

My mum, who now works with me,  has the other side of Southport. She’s not doing so good and has been asked to start to try and get more customers. Doing this isn’t easy when you are driving, and trying to serve and fit in the ones you do have. It took me more than 10 months to get the confidence and quickness to work out and do a little of everything.

 

I know they told her the job might only be temporary, (maternity leave cover) but I am hoping they realise that they can’t cover the holidays people want and take time off themselves… They really do know how to run a tight budget that way.

 

I have my fire lit, the fish have been all checked on.

Babies are doing fab…. If you want to take a look… I have a youtube account.

This is the latest video… check it out and please tell me what you think.  It is hard to see the better ones. When the weather warms up I want to get them in a blue bowl for inspection and I’ll video them there again. One  of my favourites (yin and yang) has just that, his first half is white, and the back half is black. You can see him in the vid, (27 seconds ish) although hard to spot. What you can’t see is any of the Kohaku’s which are coming through. There is a nice 3 step one, but till I get it out, I don’t know if it will be any good. In fact don’t know if any of them are any good. But they’re growing, happy and healthy…  that is all I am interested in. They do come from good stock, they were just an odd breed to put together.  Oh,well.

 

Big fish,  not so sure about. I can only hope that the White spot has gone… no one is sulking any more and they’re all back looking around for food. Now started to put a little in, (because I have an albino sturgeon) and I’ve loaded it with Sansai a good bacteria, like Actimel for fish 🙂

 

Guinea pigs are settled in lot more. The smaller one is doing better, gave him some more pain relief today. And I must admit he really like it,  hooked I think!

 

So I am now off for a bath and something to eat, before the other half gets in. Then I can carry on with TSK as I didn’t get as much done as I’d liked yesterday.

 

Speak soon….

Yukky day 😦

 

Ummm, bit of everything in here today, but I don’t really have a lot to say today, feeling a little down. Work has just been very slow and that general buzz everyone had before Christmas is just gone. I think we all have the January Blues. Which is a shame really.

 

I managed to write three pages yesterday on my sci fi TV project. This one is just more for my fun than anything else. My characters were begging me (in my sleep) to be brought to life a little more, so I started The Secret King – The beginning, just before Christmas. I am almost to the end of the fourth act and really pleased. Although, as usual it will need heavy editing before anyone gets to read it, I am still having fun. Sometimes, you need to have a little bit, don’t you?

 

I’ve stuck to my guns for the second day. No rubbish food at work. I weighed myself yesterday and will monitor it, but am not going to get stuck into doing it everyday. Once a week and I’ll let hubby record it so he is aware  how much it drops, (slow and sure) For me the alcohol will be the biggest calorie loss. I never realised how much was in it before. So cutting that back will defo help.

 

Guinea pigs are settling in well. Although, the smaller one’s bite  isn’t healing very well and keeps opening up. He’s on pain meds at the moment, and we’re keeping an eye on him.

 

Fish are all fine, babies are growing massive, will need to keep them a few more months yet and then get rid of them. Sell them hopefully, they’re looking smart now. 🙂 I am really pleased with how they’re looking, such hard work to raise, but worth it.

 

Going to try and aim to finish the next few pages and to the end of Act four on TSK… will let you know how I get on tomorrow 🙂

 

Speak soon.

Tuesday…

So as interesting as it was to be back in work. (not) glad it is over.

Paul hasn’t worked today, so it was nice to get in and have a roaring coal fire. Was good not to have to do it myself.

I also had two Parcels waiting for me when I got in.

One, a freebie from  http://www.talentville.com a book on scriptwriting, by David Trottier… Dr. Format. So that will be an interesting read. I’ve kept up as much as possible with the column that sparked the book.

And the other was for a DVD. A Nandar entertainment production, called Finding Mr Right. I’ll let you know what it is like when I have seen it later.

So for the rest of the evening I’m going to make Paul look after me. Seeing as it was such a hard day back at work. I don’t like doing much on the first day.

Got my ‘healthy eating’ off to a good start. I avoided all the pastries and bacon buttys at work. I tell you it is going to be tough, driving a large ‘lunch box’ around all day, filled with delicious pastries, cakes, sandwhichs, pasties and other hot food is a nightmare. But I will have to carry on. I really do want my to look nice for my dad’s wedding. 🙂

Fingers crossed. 🙂

Settling in for the night now.  I have a few other things to write. So on with that… no more procrastination I have a TV episode to finish.

Speak later.

Yikes!

Wow….

I didn’t think I’d do it all in one day. Please no one read all the posts lol… there are a lot. There are a lot which aren’t nice to read, because of their content.

I was much younger, my grammar and spelling is awful. I was tempted to spell check and read every post, but in the end I choose not too. Mostly because that is how I blogged at the time, in my deepest darkest moments, when thinking about SI and my ED I think spelling etc was the last thing on my mind.

So it is done. I only have one more place to grab posts from, more about my koi than the other stuff.

Onwards to an interesting year. I will continue to blog now. And I can put the facebook thingy back on, I didn’t know it was posting straight there this morning. My page was inundated lol.

Catch you all soon, getting an early night as back to work in the morning. Boring!!!!!! don’t want to go, I really don’t.

Someone come and save me and BUY some scripts.

Speak soon
