College tomorrow….
“How’re you feeling?” MindReader says as soon as he gets in the door. He has been to Frightened Rabbit. I have not. This brings the gigs I’ve missed because of illness total up to three (Newton Faulkner, Frightened Rabbit and CROWDED HOUSE). “Rubbish,” I say as I unload a plate from the dishwasher. His arms …
More moaning
Okay. 11 hours’ sleep. No better. In fact, ear is painful again and glands behind ears are up, so probably worse. You know what really annoys me? The STIGMA. I just text a friend to cancel, and I suspect I shall not be able to see Frightened Rabbit (band) tomorrow. And people will not just …
I am getting some test results from GingerDoctor on the 9th. If I am not fixed by then I shall demand HE fix me!
Oh god. Oh god. I appear to have THE FLU. I know! My first proper illness since The Original Illness which er – hasn’t quite gone yet technically, if you consider how much I still sleep, and indeed how often I freak out. Had head cold yesterday and was telling EVERYONE (mostly people who didn’t …
A friend just wrote this on my Facebook wall
At a conference at the weekend I was talking to a girl who is a coeliac, and described my friend who was laid low for a year with glandular fever and then found out she had coeliacs. I got the reply, ‘Was it Billygean?’. Bizarre. Are you the most famous coeliac in the world? Or …
On weddings
We are at MindReader’s friend’s wedding. I am in my beautiful Venice dress. “And how’s the new flat?” MindReader’sFriend’sMum says to me. I feel MindReader’s hand on my back and he smirks at me. “Beautiful,” I say. “Mm, because it’s yours,” she says, articulating more than my mother ever has in one sentence. I shift …
Wherein my body breaks again but only minorly
“It huuuuurts,” I say to MindReader, curled up on our sofa. “I knowwww,” he says. I have an ear infection, most likely caused by the divine earplugs. So: not only do I listen to the builders all morning once again due to lack of ear plugs, but I am also up all night taking pain …
Oh and yes! my tan is out of a bottle
Um, hi! *stumbles into daylight* Sorry about that. I dropped off the face of the blogosphere rather didn’t I?! Well. I’ve been BUSY. We had a house-warming. You know – that party I fantasised about the ENTIRE time I was ill. Well, it happened, and it was better than I imagined. We filled the flat …
Midlife crises in Ikea
MindReader and I are in Ikea. We have, so far, worked out that the cheapest way to own a dining table is to buy the top and the legs separately. So what if they don’t match? “Ooh, scales,” I say, wandering over to the bathroom section. By wandering I of course mean negotiating hundreds of …
