I went to claim some doctors charges back from my medical insurer today. Not only do I have to wait a minimum of six weeks before they can process my claim, but I was served by a woman who looked startlingly like the man who played Scrooge in the Muppets Christmas Carol. I can't remember the name... I'm bad with movie stars that way....
EDIT: Michael Caine!!! It was Michael Caine!!
Well, well well... Freja seems to have been a naughty pussy. She's deffinately fatter, to the fact that she almost waddles more than walks... and seems to be displaying odd 'nesting' type behaviour..... Kittens, anyone?
I've been quite busy today in my own little way. I finally went to the doctors this morning. My doctor is a really nice woman, though I can't pronounce her name, or remember where she is from. (Somewhere in the Netherlands? Urmmm...) Anyway, she told me that I have infected glands and an ear infection. And my throat is well on its way. Well woohoo, considering that lot I'm feeling quite good I suppose! The TantrumChild (a.k.a 'Boss') has been quite nice about it.... in his way.... "Don't come back until I'll get my money's worth" is very good for him; I feel honoured. So I have spent my afternoon playing 'fish tycoon' (I know, I know.... but I like fish :( ) and working on a homepage for myself, other than this blog. Interesting I am not.
Time for more tea, and the wonders of painkillers!
No entry for a while - I have been hovering between working and recurring flu-eyness. Today I have a day off work, and so I am sat sipping at homemade chicken and sweetcorn soup, wrapped up like and eskimo and waiting for Hubby to return from his little rambling shopping trip. I have his valentines present all wrapped up in the wardrobe... though I am dissapointed with it. I wasn't able to get him much anyway as neither of us exactly has any money to spare right now, but the two things I really wanted to get him, I wasn't able too. Therefore he has just a couple of half-hearted presents :( I'm going to try and make up for it by cooking a nice meal and some cookies and stuff, but.... bleh. At least I get to go back to work tomorrow; the hours are few, but the work is fun. Although my boss acts like a psycho 3 year old; if one of his workers has to report something to him that they think he wont like, they cower in fear, as he tends to have terrible temper tantrums, throwing things against walls, knocking over computers and cursing like a pirate - an angry fuckin' pirate. (That said, you should all pop over and see Utopia and her Show too...;) He really is like a foul mouthed toddler who lost his favouriate toy - Pathetic really, for a man of over 40 years old.
What is going on with the world?? I've crept up to Lowly Insect over night... that's three jumps in as many days after months of microrganism-ness. Not that I am complaining in any way!
I was ordered not to blog about the 'incident' hubby had this morning. So I won't. At least not yet, I will wait until he has forgotten and then smirk and giggle and tell the world. Awww.
EDIT: Annnnnd.... I'm a Crustacean again, alas. *sigh, le sigh*
Woot, I did it again. Cruncy Crustacean status..... world domination will be mine! Mwahahahah!
That's an order! Anyone who visits this blog -must- go and see my blog of the week, WebKittyn Warbles. Who else could I give it to this week, after she won the Best of Blog Awards 'Biggest Blog Whore'? I love this blog, check it every day at least once, usually more, and voted for her diligently throughout the awards. This blog will be staying as my blog of the week for TWO weeks however, and the reason is thus; WK is overhauling her site this week, so visitors may not get the best impression if they arrive mid-haul. So, she gets two weeks, to give her time to redo the site. Congrats on the huge whoring honor WK, and the minor minor honour of blog of the week ;)
Yeah, wiggle! I'm so totally a worm. My microbe days are over. (For those of you who don't know, I am talking about my TTLB ecosystem status.) My fondest dream is to be a flippery fish. I don't aspire to be a primate or even a marsupial.... just a fish. Let's hope I can keep worm for a little while at least, before wiggling down to multicellular microrganism....
Well it's not a complete hooray, it is certainly a minor, little hooray however. I found some work! Not a job for full time, (The business I was working for before decided to close the office I was working at and get rid of -all- the workers, though not actually tell us this until -after- they did it.) but at least some work - my mother put me in contact with a friend of her's called Sam, who seems to want me to do some pay-per-day data inputting for him at his office. My first day is wednesday... it won't be much money, but at least it's cash! It's food and hot water for another week! Yeah!
