Squirrel's Smiley, Smart and Solvent Diary

have you been exercising or coughing? could it be a slight muscle strain?

I agree on the expensive heating, beautiful location but... :eek:

Neither of those, does sort of feel like a muscle but in a very weird place!

Argh! Was hoping for a quiet Friday but having a can't-sit-still-can't-stop-and-think sort of day. My phone has been moved to my new desk but I haven't had a chance to follow it yet!

Weird tummy pain is a bit better today.

Picked up post from my flat last night and there was a letter from Capquest threatening court action blah blah.. have been paying them consistently for over a year so don't know what their problem is! Have emailed offering to up my payment slightly but that's all they're getting. And they won't get any more with a CCJ so it's all a bit pointless.

Anyway, roll on the weekend!

Morning all.

Weekend seems to have flown by - did lots of house and gardening stuff on Saturday. Yesterday we went for a lovely walk by local reservoir and woods - went in the morning and saw the mist lifting off everything. Could feel a cold coming on though and spent most of the afternoon curled up on the sofa. It's still hanging around this morning so I'm on lots of vitamin C etc.

Feeling a bit flat about things, I think the cold-related fuzzy head is making it hard to concentrate - not sure I'm taking things in as well as I should with my philosophy course, and I'm really struggling with the people I 'mentor' for my second job (a severe lack of communication from any of them, basically!).

Main job is quite hassly at the moment and I'm currently trying to get used to sitting in a different place! It's quite nice but it just feels weird.. I've also noticed I really don't have any personal stuff on my desk so it's a bit dull... I only have a mug and a plant!

Sounds a tough old patch at the moment, Squizz.... anything you can do to make a difference? Lots of hugs from me, if that helps!

Your red light is still on - how you doing today? Is your cold any better? Work?

Morning.. I still feel like hiding from everything but it's not an option! Cold is still hanging around but not really coming to anything. Got loads to do but don't really know where to start.

Karmacat

That *definitely* sounds harrassed a to-do list is called for, I think .... hope you can get through it all okay.

lists are always good squizz!

Are you not allowed stuff on your desk or is it just that you haven't got around to having more bits there?
