Thursday

Good morning peeps,

Well yesterday I woke up with a headache, so I started the day with a painkiller breakfast :)

Yesterday was a quiet day, I sat here a lot and watched movies.

I went out once after doing the papers, to get petrol and food and things. The sea was beautiful so I sat and looked at it.

I didn't realise I owned so much junk until I turned the cupboard out, looking for a phone battery.

I couldn't find the spare battery for my phone so I am using the other phone, which is a good smartphone but it won't accept my sim so I have a phone, I have credit, but no one can ge through to me as I am on a different sim.

I continued to be worried about the blog stats, especially as those soul-destroyers in Guernsey were also perusing my blog, and they rarely do that.

This morning I was up bright and early as I am not familiar with the alarms on the phone I was using so I woke to tuneful noises coming from the other side of the room.
And as I was wide awake, I showered, had breakfast, made the bed, and did various things that usually wait until I have done the papers.

After the papers I sat watching the sunrise and the sea, and then I went to the gym for a hearty workout. I am still in gym clothes, oops.

The weather is mild but windy, and the propaganda machine says we have sahara dust, which is a bit like volcanic ash from Iceland. If it's there it has been put there for a reason, right? I am way too cynical for a 12 year old, aren't I?

This morning I got another nice Christmas card and tip from a customer, which is ideal as my electric meter was rumbling hungrily in the cupboard and if I didn't feed it today then it would be all candle light and fingerless gloves here :) None of my expected money is in yet, so it may be another day of frugality before food and essentials can be got, let alone Christmas stuff.

I dunno if it is the saharan dust, but I have eye infections like I used to get when I was homeless.
I also have all the aches that mean I need new pillows yet again, they only last a few months before they stop supporting my messed up head and neck.

My tasks today are simple, I have to sort all the junk out, ruthlessly get rid of a lot of it and neatly box the rest and label the boxes. And I have to take a laundry load over the road.

I like the feeling of holiday. I have no work until tomorrow night and I had my final tutorial of term yesterday, so if the two assignments get a pass grade, then term is over for me.
