Well, here I am, at work on a Monday morning. I'm told I'm to be trained on..something, this morning, so I've some down-time for a few, chillin' while they get 'round to me.
This isn't a bad job, really. I mean, at least you're not doing the same thing all day long, month after month--well, sometimes you are, and that's a bit of a drag, but it's always going to be better than walking and climbing stairs nine miles a day, for 8 1/2 hours, cleaning loos and emptying bin bags into skips for a living, trust me.
Anyway, Sunday turned out to be a bit..bleh. Had the stomach bug, but better today. I also smashed my bad knee, climbing out the sliding window onto my balcony--still don't know whose brilliant idea that was, taking out the door to the balcony, and putting in a large sliding window that's several feet off the ground, instead--brillant! Getting onto the balcony is now somewhat like trying to straddle a pony.
Anyhow, smacked my bad knee on the metal sill, and wound up on the floor holding my knee, rocking back and forth and groaning-- and saying some rather rude things about the window, my knee and life in general.
Using a crutch today, but it's improving, thankfully. Think I hit it on the part where the cartilege is missing.
Anyway, spent Sunday not cleaning and going for a walk to the park as I'd planned, but mostly in bed--when I wasn't lying swearing on the floor or in the loo, that is, ha-ha. Yuck. Well, I did some writing on my latest Who story---figure if I can't see Series 4, I can solace myself by making stories up, and it sort of works. The stories aren't of RTD's caliber, of course, but..meh, something's better than nothing.
I figure maybe, if I ever get the internet back at home, I might publish these stories on the web, like I used to, the past two years on.
I've been making blog entries sometimes and saving them to Word. Don't know if, like the Dr Who stories, anyone will ever read them, but again, it's something to occupy me.
Watched some DVD's yesterday, listened to some Kylie and The Proclaimers and Robin Ella. Actually got 'round to making dinner--my appetite's way, way off, lately, and some days I have to force myself to eat--which is strange, as I always used to be hungry, now, even when I'm hungry, I'm having a hard time wanting to eat.
Well, have to sign off now. See you all maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday. Cheers. Nancy G.




My bad knee had sympathy pains while I read this. OUCH!!!
