five weeks to touchdown

Woke up today with pins and needles in both arms from wrist to elbow.

I'm pretty sure that's not good.

-----------------------------------

The wonderful the_axel fixed my computer last night while I was at work, so I can actually read things on the screen again. Unfortunately, I lost about a weeks worth of mail. If you sent me anything in the last week, please re-send as it's gone to the great recycling box in the sky. If you sent it longer ago than that, well, I'm just a spaz.

-----------------------------------

I woke up this morning coughing and hacking because I had just inhaled something.

I'm telling myself it was a piece of lint.

-----------------------------------

For some reason my bathtub is full of these.

Might have something to do with all the rain.

This is nothing to do with the way I woke up this morning, and I will brook no suggestions otherwise. I do not sleep in the bathtub, and besides, that was a piece of lint.

-----------------------------------

And the biggest and bestest news for last - I now live with one of these

Her name is Lola, she's two years old, and slightly over a foot long. (I think. I haven't been able to get her to unwrap fully yet.) I am utterly smitten.

I must now get a decent thermometre and a heat lamp, because she likes it a lot hotter than I do.

well fuck

Today has been plummeting downhill since I got up.

Since I got up by choking on a bug, this is not exactly exactly thrilling the hell out of me.
