I tidied my desk today.

Brilliant.

After 3 months in the IT dept I have a handle on the stuff I need and the stuff I could chuck. So I chucked enough to make about 3 rolls of recycled toilet paper I reckon…

Having achieved all that I am looking forward to getting back to work in tomorrow to sit at my clean desk.

Sick…

…and Twisted.

Is not enough.

Gah… Tempted to ring the boss and tell him I’m still sick and need to sleep… But sun is up and room is sweltering so sleep is hardly likely.

Sigh.

I had all sorts of blogging plans for the evening and got scuppered…
“Toontown” an online game that I discovered while entertaining Angel’s 5 year old son who came to work with her today. It was great fun watching while he played and I have to confess I had to come home and download the 3 day trial package to play at home… Problem number 1 … Broadband doesn’t arrive till Friday… the download is a longwinded sort of process on Dial-Up. (Actually, isn’t everything???).

Solution Number 1. I am a patient sort and finally all was downloaded and the phrase “Let the games begin” was the order of the day.

Problem Number 2. The game is addictive. At least, for me… Tragic… but true.

Solution Number 2. Enforce evicition from my connection… the thrall is broken and I can get back to blogging…

Problem Number 3. I had coffee with a prospective flatmate. This is actually not a problem but it delayed bed time… Actually, I feel very good about the possibility of Flick moving in. She will let me know by Friday, so a prayer or 3 that if it is the “right thing” she will know would be appreciated… And if it is “not the right thing” an alternative is forthcoming soon.

I had a little chat to God about his tendency to make one hold out to the last minute as if to test one’s faith that he will come through. I made it a bit clear that I truly believe that he will bring the right person along, in the right time, etc.. etc.. etc.. and asked if he could accept that bit of faith as a downpayment on future faith tests as I would appreciate that this particular issue in my world be settled without the usual nail biting finale…

Time will tell.

Anyway… that bit of blogging is not as exciting as I might have liked… I am wrecked so se…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I find it wild that I have been so irregular (comparitively) at posting this week, and me on holiday and all! I think I am still a bit out of sorts with this flu and while I had a burst of energy mid week I have been taking it easy again as the weekend approached.

The thing with taking it easy is that there is less than usual to post about. I have hardly seen the Count (towelled or otherwise) amd actually it has got a bit weird here and we barely seem to be speaking… I know that this is beyond normal male communication handicap… one of his mates was here during the week and we chatted just fine, though briefly. the Count really just seems to have nothing to say.

I have spent the last 3 nights babysitting for a family who have been in Manly at a conference and I have been keeping the sofa in their hotel warm while the baby slept. It has paid rather good money and though the nights have been really late (yawn) I am going back tonight for another round. Thank goodness for my dvd rom drive, there has been nothing on tv and I have worn out the carpet at the video store getting stuff to keep me occupied!!

I have decided on a change of name for the blog, it’s a new year, and a change is a good thing, I can’t quite bring myself to change the colour scheme yet. I think the blue is quite restful…

Or something.
