That was super.
If I could sing lilke her I would never bother talking. I'd sing to the minions in the park, to the bus drivers, when I went for a cheeky teacake... That cheered me right up, thanks. I think I was just a little over-wrought last night. I haven't been sleeping well, or in fact eating well (eating too much, yes - but not well.) Thngs look a little brighter today. Despite the fact it's dull and rainy. And my butter-dish is lovely and not making me cry. Even if it's technically for Mum for Christmas, I still like looking at it.

I'm actually stunned that the Frozen translation was as good as it was. One language and then back to English, I could see. But the girl said she went through a chain of a dozen languages before getting back to English. And still she got to keep the phrase "the storm is raging" for "let the storm rage on?" That's fucking impressive, Google Translate. I remember a time when you could go to one language and back and it would be completely--and I mean completely--unintelligible.
I for one welcome our new UN overlords. |

So today it's been one full month since my last day off from work. Every day, sometimes 8 hours, sometimes a double shift, today was a 12 hour one... I think it is starting to get to me.
Don't get em wrong - I can't complain, this is the most comfortable job I ever had. But... After a month, I think I need at some point to just curl up and not leave bed for a day. |

My laptop's charger is fucked, and it could take up to 10 business days for the replacement to arrive. Now I am on the old netbook, which is barely ok for web browsing... Can't run the phone emulators for coding, can't run any of my games, barely watchable as far as movies and tv shows go, the audio quality is so poor it's harder to listen to music or audio books, and...

Ouch. No, seriously, ouch. I hate, hate, hate being cut off like that. I get cranky as hell if my desktop is out of action and I'm stuck on my laptop - or when my internet is barely usable (two years of that, I'm lookin' at you TalkTalk!).
Mum's even worse. Her internet went down for about a week and she was like a whole other person. Cranky doesn't even come close. Separating her from her ipad is like trying to get a cub from a bear.

Being unemployed is a risk for gaining weight, I'm finding ... so easy to buy treats and treat every evening like the weekend; nibble on pumpkin loaf, pumpkin cheesecake (just a little one), apple pie (another little one), all those little treats bought to comfort oneself. A bite at a time, a pound at a time.
Well! It seems my husband has either been selfish or taken one for the team, as the cheesecake, the cookies, and pumpkin loaf have disappeared. I have to fall back on my homemade guac and my grapes for this evening. All of which is good, and I know I'll thank him tomorrow, and if he actually ate all that stuff he'll suffer for it tonight and then be able to work it off in the gym because he doesn't have arthritis ... so I will pretend I really wanted the grapes anyway. But it's mildly irritating me tonight, even though it's for the best. I hate being managed.

The other day I had a new nickname idea I remember really liking, but no place that needed it. Now I found a place where I want a new nickname, but I can't remember.
