five weeks to touchdown

[the_siobhan]

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.

why do people keep posting links to pictures of insects without telling me what they are? why do i keep clicking on them, thinking, "well, maybe siobhan's bathtub is full of kittens, and i wouldn't mind seeing a picture of kittens"?

i can't wait to meet lola.

Kittens would be kind of an interesting thing to find in one's bathtub. What with the continual thinning of the reality layer that's been going on over the past few years I wouldn't be all that surprised to wake up one day to find kittens in the bathtub and rainbow-coloured powertools in the beer fridge.

Come to think of it, I did find kittens in the basement once at the manor. So there you go.

As insects go, pillbugs don't bother me for some reason. Possibly because they are so slow-moving and harmless. The Volvos of the insect world.
