Gratuitous Cuteness

Just thought I would pop a couple of pics of the new Kitten. Warning Gratuitous Cuteness!

Loafing

This passed weekend I loafed. There is no other word for it. I buried myself at home and did as little as possible. I read, I played online and watched TV. And I have to say, it was GLORIOUS!

I think that in my life, I would have to say that I spend a lot of time doing projects, seeing friends and generally running around like a loon. To take a break and vegitate for one weekend has done me so much good. I returned to work ready for a challenge and to be active.

That said, I dont think I will be loafing too much. I was getting rapidly restless towards the end. This says something about me I think. I like a couple of days of relaxing but then I need something to do. Look at me, when I did I become this productive? lol!

Um. Wow. Er. Hi?

Oops.

I have no excuse and nothing to say but.. um... where did the time go?

Ok. Brief recap on the passed few, er, months.

Lemme see.

Housemate and baby have moved out. This was at the beginning of June. There was a moment of chaos followed by a stunned quiet. It took a couple of weeks to fully get my brain to realise I could once again wander round my home stark naked if I so chose (and no, I am not saying if I have). We are still getting things back to normal. I have unpacked boxes that were put away for safe keeping and can revel in having all my books out :D

I am still employed and still plotting the demise of various residents I have to deal with on a regular basis. One of the Community Development Workers is now on Adoption Leave so the office is manic and I am doing different work so not quite going round the bend yet. My contact is up in March and I putting serious thought into whether I want this job or not. On the one hand, it's not a bad job and only has a few niggles. On the other, I need more creative freedom than I currently have. We will see at the moment.

My life is still being eaten by World of Warcraft (still not linking it if you wanna risk it, on your own head be it). However, the addiction is more manageable and I can actually spend time away doing other things. Which is good cos I has projects.

Project A: Pagan Conference 2010. Yes I am doing it again and yes this may qualify for an insanity plea at some point.

Project B: Brace yourselves, more insanity ensues. I am co-ordinating a multi-faith event in November for my local Interfaith group. Yes, I think this event organising thing may also be addictive.

Finally, I has a kitten! A friend's cat (almost wrote a friend has) has had kittens. And one was soooo cute. And is now mine! *Dances* She occasionally drives me nuts but is cute. We only have to drag her away from something she didnt ought to have maybe 3 or 4 times a day. She is getting better though. Either that or she has learned how not to get caught!

Right. Back to the employment thing and then home to relax for the weekend. Friday is here and there is alcohol at the end of it!

It's good to be back!

Just bimbling

Not been blogging much as to be honest, I have been bimbling. This means to wander along not really taking note of the world or doing much.

I've been bimbling to work, going home, playing on the computer and then going to bed. For a normally active and productive person, I have done very little this passed month - and boy it has felt gooooooood.

Work is a bit better, the new hours seem to be working. Although the bosses were all on leave last week so that might have something to do with it. :)

Home is the same. Very little movement other than my hand to the knife drawer now and again. My temper is on a pretty short fuse to the point that I turned into a bit of a cow the other day. Took myself off for a bit to calm down which worked but I can see the end of that tether and it's getting closer.

Having some wierd dreams of late though. I dont tend to have nightmares (I learned to lucid dream years ago which means when the adrenaline kicks in so does the lucid dreaming) but these ones have been particularly violent and involve me either fixing something with violence or starting something with violence. It doesnt take much of a leap to work out why though does it.

Anyways, life is pretty good with the occasional 'grrrrr' moment. One day, I will be able to go home and dance naked in my living room (curtains closed). I live for that day.

Rejuvenated

Wow, it has been a while again.

To be honest, I havent even been looking at other people's blog never mind actually looking at my own. Life has been rather hectic these past couple of weeks. So a quick catch is in order, methinks.

Right, so the 'trouble at mill' has died down. A slight change to my working hours and everyone is happy again (sort of - I didnt get exactly what I wanted but neither did the bosses, so everyone is happy with something but not everything which is apparently close enough). The new hours take effect from Monday and we will see how it goes. The good news is that the next fortnight we have a 4 day week thanks to Bank Holidays. Woo Hoo!

The PF Conference went well. Not stupendously well but good. There were too many folks to play with (good thing in the end) but it was well received by all who attended both stall-holder, speaker and attendees. The staff were run ragged but the reasons for this will be looked at. I am even planning on a SWOT analysis of sorts so we can evaluate what happened for the next time. Oh yes, and there is a next time. Next year, in fact. With the same madness. Why did I agree to this? Again.

The court case I have been involved with for the past two years has finally ended. Sentencing was last Tuesday and I can finally get back to worrying about small things not whether my family is going to fall apart at a moment's notice. I know there will still be fall out but things are returning to previously set grooves and I feel calmer again. All I can say is, for a Legal System supposed to help victims, it doesnt half treat them badly. Once they are done with you, you are pretty much dumped elsewhere and forgotten, even made to feel like an inconvenience at times. Not impressed. At all. But, anyway. This may the source for an article or two at some point. There's a pamplet about being a witness available, I am think a pamphlet on surviving the system is needed too.

Finally, Spring is definately here at last. It has been a very long winter for me. I am looking forward to the increased Sun and warmth. I can feel my energy growing with the Sun. Here's to hazy days and sun drenched parks with a good book (either writing or reading) and good people. The Sun is shining and I'm reading to play.

Surpreme irony

Ok. so Tuesday was a crappy day. I got chewed out by the boss for not being on top of my work.

Today, Wednesday, I have finished all assigned work and have nothing to do.

Ironic? Yes. Will this be noted? No.

I love my job :S

Mildly panicked but getting there

I have less than two weeks before the PF Conference.

Oh mother goddess, how did that happen???

Work has been challenging since having a week off. I think it did me good but I now have all the things I should have got done in that week to do on top of the new things. My lips are above the waterline but only just.

My plans are turning into a reality and it feel both good and terrifying. Will I have enough of everything? Will I end up with more materials than kids? Will I still be conscious by the evening entertainment. Will I get the programmes sorted out in time? So many things, so little, little time.

*Breaths*

It will all be fine. It will all be fine. It will all be fine. But maybe I should think about laying of the caffeine. :)
