'Oh, some people without brains do an awful lot of talking!'

Well, who'd have thunk it? I'm updating this motherbitch!

Good things:
Today I am mostly looking forward to: A day's work experience in Occupational Therapy this coming Friday. For how long have I wanted to do that job? Too long. Would I be bothered to sit out a three year uni course to qualify? Doubtful. But there's no harm in trying it out for a day or two.

I also have an interview on Monday for a job that I won't get. I'd be good at it, but I won't get it.

Pilot came back from Canada to visit and we cuddled and chatted and laughed for the first time in years. This made me exceptionally happy. I am, however, a nob and forgot to take my camera with me.

Shitty things:
I don't think I've posted here since Mum got ill. She was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in January 2012. She's strong. And she's happy as long as we bring dogs to visit. Any dogs. *shrugs*

Other things:
It's also worthy of note that I have FINALLY developed the skill of 'spacing out' when boring people are talking boring things at me. Instead of wanting to punch that person I now just...ignore them. I expect that sometimes it makes me seem rude but really it's their own fault. If I wanted to hear about every painfully tedious detail of your drab life, I'd ask. Don't tell me, I genuinely. do. not. care.

Ooh, Joanna, put the handbag down!

We have a mouse in the flat house. I argued with myself in my brain as to whether to type 'house' or 'flat' at the end of that sentence - what's more important: accuracy or rhyming? Definitely rhyming. Always. This fact excites me and I am desperate to make it a little waistcoat and shoes (and don't think for a moment that he hasn't already got a name) but Jim sadly doesn't like the idea of a small, furry, incontinent being scuttling around so he bought some traps. But not just ordinary traps - all they had at the shop was rat traps (definitely going myself next time) and we woke up the other morning to find that little Pip - yes, Pip - has just stealthily stolen the chocolate off the traps without releasing them. I was secretly delighted. Long shall he reign, Pip the Brave!

Toodle pip! .....see what I did there?
