I went to see my parents yesterday. My Mum gave me this.
Obviously I don’t celebrate Easter, but I’m not against chocolate.
So I hope you all had a wonderful Chocolate Egg day, or whatever.

New Years Eve: Myself and Leo saw the New Year in with a bang.
New Years Day: In the afternoon had to get some shopping. Bumped into someone I hadn’t seen in years. Spent the rest of the afternoon, and some of the evening, catching up.
Wednesday the 2nd: Spent most of the day stacking shelves. In the evening went to dinner with nice man (for reasons too long and complicated to go into). By the end of a the date he had turned - metaphorically - into an octopus (this reminded me of an event some years ago which may or may not have happened).
Thursday the 3rd: Spent the morning stacking shelves. Spent much of the afternoon waitressing (would have rather have been stacking shelves). On way home went into a supermarket and found they were already starting to sell easter eggs. What the…? Tonight I should be working - bar work. May phone in sick…or dead.

As I am currently jobless (I am looking though) I appear to have gained the role of ‘housewife’. A role I’m not cut out for.
You may have noticed I’ve been absent for quite a while. My apologies. My life has been a mess just a lately. I’ve been ill and there has been work and…oh so much stuff.
One good piece of news: I’m now an Aunt. Which is weird. My brother and sister-in-law have a beautiful baby daughter. (My little brother is a father - double weird!) (Above picture is vaguely connected to all this.)
Anywho, I hope to get back to this - and everything else - really soon. And if you’ve been trying to contact me or such: I am alive and I’ll try and get back to you as quickly as I can.

I haven’t posted for a while and for that I’m sorry.
Please forgive me. I’ve been ill. Nothing major - just a cold or some such - but I’ve not been in the mood for this.
I’m feeling much better today though. For which I’m glad as it’s my birthday.
I’m all dressed for the occasion. I’m wearing my birthday suit.

Almost…
(I’ve been lax. I should really update this more often, and for that I can only apologise.)
The other day I was in a car heading across the county. I was going shopping with a friend. Her idea of shopping and mine differ slightly. For her it almost exclusively involves clothes, shoes and accessories. For me those things come behind books, CDs, DVDs, comics and games. Clothes shopping is something I do if I have to.
Anyway, we were going shopping. And as we headed down the road part of me hopped she wouldn’t stop. That we could just continue until we reached the sea. Until we could see the waves pounding against the shore and the endless sky.
I love snow, but…
I wish it wasn’t so damn cold!
The snow is back and it’s thick, beautiful and FREEZING! Which is why I’m inside with the heating on - that way I don’t have to ware so many clothes.
It’s late and I have to go to bed soon - have to be up early in the morning. I’ve got things to do - got an appointment at the hospital for (Darn it!)
At least my bed is toasty and warm - and not empty. Yeah!

I ATE’NT DEAD.
I’ve just been real sick.
I’m a lot better now. Still a bit fragile but most definitely a lot better. I just have to try and get the mess that I laughingly call my life back into some sort of shape.
At least I’ve still got a job to go back to.
It’s sooo cold tonight. The snow is all gone, but so cold!
Leo and I have decided to stop messing about. We were pretty much in a relationship - except in name. Apart from the change in designation though everything is stopping the same. That’s the plan.
He told me he didn’t want to lose me.

Can’t talk; must scream.
It’s soooooo cold tonight! And I’m here - alone (except for my little dog) - trying to keep warm. It’s cold enough to wake the dead.
Alright, maybe not. Compared to some places in the world it’s practically tropical here. But I’m still cold around the edges.
Anywho.
Last few days. Met up with my little brother. Not on Wednesday though, when I was supposed to meet him. Something came up and he couldn’t meet me. So I met up with a friend and had a different kind of fun.
Work has been…well, work. You do it. You get paid. You try and have fun at the same time. Meh.
Why does the dark seem to seep into all my bones?

Hi.
I should be in bed asleep. And I tried but I just laid there, so here I am.
I was told off by my concerned friends that I hadn’t done any posts about my pointless life and that was the point of this thing - so they can keep a beady on me - and just posting pictures and such was a cheat and a cop out.
So here I am. Checking in.
Monday I had to go see the doctors so that they could look inside my head and make sure everything is tickety-boo. So that was nice.
Today I was working. Yay! The excitement!
Tomorrow I hope to see my brother. Come May he and his wife will have a baby - a girl, apparently - so I’ll be an aunt. I think I like that.

Picture (Probably) Unrelated.
Today has been very windy. The blow you to Norway kind of windy. Which also means it’s been flipping cold!
And I’ve had to work. 3 clients today. So I’m tired.
But not, apparently, sleepy!
Oh, I’m going to try. I’ll go to bed and close my eyes and hope that I drift away, but I’m not counting on it.

Seasons Greetings!
I hope you all had/are having/will have a good…whatever.
Obviously, being an atheist, I don’t, actually, celebrate christmas or any other religious festivals, but living in the UK - like living in most western countries - I can’t escape it.
I celebrate the coming of winter and the new year - but try explaining that to your deeply religious grandparents. So I just say merry christmas to them and don’t worry about it. Plus I like giving out presents.
And the decorations - they are SOOOOOOO PRETTY!
And the christmas Doctor Who episode - did you see it? It was brilliant!
So, anywho, Happy Holidays!

To work, perchance to dream…
I was sat in a cafe on Saturday - drinking tea and watching the world go by - when it struck me that I’d had a ridiculous amount of jobs in my life.
My first paying job was probably baby-sitting when I was a teenager - although I prefer to tell people it was wearing a bear costume and handing out leaflets, because that was my first job that wasn’t just, basically, sitting in someone’s living room for several hours.
From there I have worked in bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes, offices, factories, shops, supermarkets, clubs and sundry miscellaneous places - some of which I’d happily never think about again. Some of which I’ve worked at more than once.
I’ve quit, been made redundant, had to leave due to ill health and even been fired from a few. And there was that one time that, between me being told I’d got the job one day and starting the next, the place went in to administration.
So what about you lot?
Don’t make me angry! You won’t like me when I’m angry!
Why do some people think that the sign at the supermarket checkout that says “10 items or less” means everybody else but them? That’s 16 items, you stupid woman! Can’t you count!
I am far too angry a person. Little pointless things anger me - sometimes things that aren’t even directly affecting me.
Cars parking on double yellow lines. People taking things off shelves in shops and then just dumping them back any where. People wearing socks with sandals. The words guesstimate and staycation (and it pained me to even type those words and even more that the former wasn’t flagged up by the spell checker as misspelt!)
And it all builds up inside me.
Most of it I can just get over - with a little time (and a cup of tea) - but some of it lingers. And boils away. Until I pop!
The woman at the checkout almost got an earful. Almost. I tutted and muttered and tried to ignore it and knew it was, ultimately, pointless to say any thing.
But when I rule the world (nay, the Universe!) there will be severe penalties for that sort of thing.

So, apparently, this is post 500…
Apparently.
I could have, probably, got here a lot sooner if I’d updated this thing more often.
But what the hey!
I’m sorry for not updating for a few days. Work and stuff. So happy Guy Fawkes Night - yes, I know it’s past, but I hope you had a good time anywho.
Also, if anyone is interested - and I can’t understand why you would be - Mind Scrapings now has a facebook page.
Don’t ask my why. It just seemed like a good idea at the time.
