I'm trying to get my fat self up off this sofa and re-write the first chapter of my WIP but so far it's not working - and neither am I.

Cooking without a cooker

I've just cooked semolina in the microwave - F.A.B. It's a bit lumpy; what a happy accident! I love slightly lumpy semilina. Mmmm, perfect.

I'm on the brink of writing; not enticed by the fall yet but thinking of flying - thinking of sorting and counting words. Also, thinking about exercise and the disappearance of chocolate from my life. This will be interesting.

stars

There are stars on my bedroom ceiling and a new crescent moon, all glowing in the dark – I keep switching the light on and off just to see them aglow. Small things like that make me unbelievably happy. I’m now thinking that I should’ve blown glitter onto the wet paint. Must put stars on the shopping list.

 

And, I did the walls in the hall today; there are still three doors to paint and all the skirting boards and lintels. Maybe tomorrow I’ll chuck some paint at them, then I’ll ask TocToc to lay the hall carpet – my knees aren’t up to the job…and if you’ve got sons you may as well use them.

The boots I bought on ebay arrived this morning - they fit my feet but not my fat ankles! So I'll have to pass them on. Also got the two new packs of tarot cards from Amazon; they're beautiful - Dante and Cleopatra. I'm busy using my fabulous Klimt cards but have decided to surround myself with lovliness so I want to get rid of my old packs - I need stimulation!

I need to get up off this sofa and finish scraping the bedroom walls; the workmen are coming tomorrow, to spend the morning with me, plastering, repairing electric sockets and removing odd pipes. Think I'll just have my breakfast first. God I had an awful and weird dream about being sucked into filthy slime - a kind of body-snatchers movie. There were branches growing out of my neck! And the last thing I remember was that my daughter had disapeared.

Food to cry for

Oh the deliciousness of cottage cheese with pineapple on toast is enough to make me cry out with orgasmic joy! Of course it isn't really a good idea to do this at work, like I did the other night.

Big brother mountain

Three wild boys. ten and under, are bloody knackering and I'm sick from three hours of negativity; don't touch that, stop, wait, no, don't do that, stop touching things, watch that car, get off that wall, get out of there, if you fall in the sea I'm not going in after you - it's too cold! But it was interesting, in that everywhere we went the mountain followed - it's in the background of all the photographs and most of the time it was the focus.

Islands

Fog tonight; it was a very pleasant and leisurely drive actually and mostly just me on the whole motorway, all by myself BUT I'd put a bloody awful disco CD on and had to listen to it until I got stopped at lights on this side of the Erskine Bridge - almost home. My face fell into a great smile as Pavarotti began to sing La Traviata and I joined him for the last three miles of black, foggy road. - a booming, travelling island. Oh and the snow is still on that roundabout and nowhere else; so there's a little island of virgin snow.

Well it's really winter now; I've been driving through sleet, snow and rain - all in the space of about ten minutes! That was last night, or rather half-one this morning on the way back from work. Snow coming towards you has a very hypnotic effect, which makes it pretty dangerous driving conditions. I hit that on the last stretch of road (no lights) that curves around Alexandria; as I arrived at the roundabout snow was lying, beginning to build up but right around the corner there was only rain and nothing but dark wet roads. Weird.

happiness is vegetation

I'm upset; two-in-a-row of my usual TV programmes, CSI and Numb3rs, are episodes I've seen so I've been fannying about on ebay, unpacking books, clearing artwork and photograph albums - a lot of it was smoke-damaged in the fire, but at least they survived. I came across some pieces of art that could be framed and would dress my new walls pretty nicely. I even discovered old pics I'd completely forgotten about...but I like to veg in front of the box on a Monday night, let's hope the next few programmes make me happy; I'm sure I won't have seen House.

weather wear

It's been a freezing, foggy weekend. I forgot my coat yesterday because the sun was shining when I left for the write-in so I froze on the way out of the city at half-past five. It took fifteen munutes just to get along Clyde Street and by that time the car had heated up a bit but my fingers kept reaching towards the heater whenever I stopped at lights. Freezing fog had settled and thickened the closer I got to my sister-in-law's. When I left I had to borrow a blanket to wrap myself in and a pair of boots because I only had bare feet and thonged sandals - it's definitely time I began wearing socks and shoes, and keeping an emergency blanket in the car.

Cue the sun, and we have a beautiful Saturday morning, just right for driving. Last night was scary; ice on dark roads I don't like. I thought I'd have to do 50mph the whole way home but the motorway was fine and well-used - no ice but I was very careful; I don't want to leave the world when I'm so busy moving into my lovely wee flat and settling into my creative old age - the kids wouldn't know what to do with all my fabulous stuff! That reminds me, I have to unpack the car before I go; it's full of goodies from Tilly and a little grill/oven thingy from her sister - I can have pies! I'll get a proper cooker eventually - I just can't bring myself to fork out money for such a thing, yet; the slow-cooker, toastie and toaster keep me fed very nicely.

Oh the weekend is here and there's cash in my purse BUT I'm not allowed to go spending willy-nilly. I'm going to a write-in tomorrow and am planning to stuff my face before I set off so I don't have to buy food in the cafe; parking is £4 so if I eat and drink £6 that's a tenner! plus £4 for petrol - I have to be careful because my children and their offspring expect me to spend my money on them!

sleep

I've just realised the time - it's only after nine! I woke up, looked at my watch and thought it was half-past twelve so got up thinking I'd lost the morning! I never sleep past ten o'clock these days even though I don't get to bed till about three when I'm working, and I wake up every couple of hours. God, I would love to just be unconscious for eight hours in a row.

a journal entry

Oooh, the sun has been shining and a rainbow sailed over the rooftop right in front of me. Well, the inspector called just after nine and gave me a date for all the work to be done in one day/morning; now isn't that wonderful? Let's hope they can fulfill that promise and I can get completely decorated and carpeted by Christmas. Christmas - that's the next hurdle and procrastination excuse, and no, I didn't get any writing done in the last couple of days; I've been too busy fannying about on here, but a lot of thinking has occurred! I've gone downstairs and emptied bins, separating recycling, even to a basinful for the compost thingy...and I've done a washing for number 2 son.

Had a very quiet night at work last night; we got to talk for a good couple of hours and had some fun - haven't done that for ages, and I finished a blanket which I'm going to put up on ebay to test the market, so here's hoping it will zing!

A Cup of Tea will make it all better

And just in from work, again, and playing on here instead of going to bed. I've got a housing inspector coming in the morning to take note of the plastering that needs done, and he could be here as early as eight-thirty! My God, that's the middle of the night to me.

There's something wrong with my finger; it's gone all numb - must be something to do with old age; maybe my body is shutting down, starting with the tip of my left index finger.

It's very late

Just got in from work and I'm playing on here. I promised myself I could browse tomorrow if I get some writing done in the morning - we'll see.

This could well be just another procrastination tool for me but I have recently noticed that my general scribblings don't include daily witterings - I mean, how will my decendents know what I did with myself if I don't put it down somewhere? I use the main blogf or musings, statements and observations
