As the Worm Turns

May 2nd, 2010

I’m back with the Open University. I had to drop out last summer after a bad case of Optic Neuritis, it sucked yeah the entire three months! I didn’t have two children I had six!  Thankfully it cleared and there was ,according to the optician, no degradation to my eye sight.

Semi bad news is that I have agreed to go back and redo the TT280, it has been so long -honestly really it has, but I am sure once I get back into it and it will be a semi doddle! Once I get that out of the way ,the TT281 comes up next and that I am not looking forward to!

Still in the market for a new MP3 player, I can’t seem to find the right one for me. It either has too small of memory or it is far too expensive. I supposed I’ll have to keep looking!

Not much else happening. I live a relatively boring existence as you probably know. I don’t an abusive husband or a set of severely demented children to rant on about-Sorry!

Miscommunication

April 30th, 2010

So my GP prescribed me LDN for my MS recently. He wrote to inform my Neurologist , and basically the wank-stain Neuro said no, he wants me to go down the Rebif route and I’m pissed at him. So bye bye Neuro!! I can pay for my LDN if I need to and well, what does the neuro do for me anyways?Fuck all in the past ten years is what. One MRI since he diagnosed me, and squat all since then. So in short, he is gone-shot out of my life. I am not wasting twenty miles worth of Diesel to go see him anymore. I will take my LDN and my GP will monitor me. Game Over.

I am getting my scooter very shortly, it isn’t purple ,it is blue/white/red with four wheels (duh) goes eight MPH and has a battery charge of 14 miles. Happy  days, it means we can go to the zoo, parks etc without me dragging around behind them and taking rests every ten minutes!

I need a new MP3 player [AGAIN] the charge isn’t holding for more than a day, so I need to do a bit of research for one with at least 8mb and it is battery operated. The USB thing is boring me silly, it means I have to come on the PC and recharge it even if I don’t feel like it.

I restart the OU in October, Party on! No seriously I cannot wait to get back to my studies. I best go as I promised dearest darling Will that I would be up in bed for 10 pm with teas etc to watch a movie. Gawds knows what he wants to watch!

Obsessions

April 28th, 2010

Note to self; Do not attempt to blog when currently involved in an active eBay auction. Not good (eight minutes forty five seconds)

So what has been happening? The two boys have had chicken pox, thankfully not at the same time. Both have since recovered. I have been spending most evenings reading. Yeah, I’m going through another read fest splurge. It started out with Kathryn Fox (five minutes ,two seconds) and moved on the J.A Kerley then I discovered J.R Ward and her amazing Black-Dagger Brotherhood series being with the first book, Dark Lover, was a killer. I had bought the first three books just to get a feel for them first, of course by the end of the first I was already online ordering the final four.

(four minutes ,32 seconds) I finished the first eight books in reasonable time , but book nine, Lover Mine is released on May 6th and I’m sort of chomping at the bit here..

I also bought another of her titles- Covet (Fallen Angels series) an once again she seems to be hitting it right on the mark once again. I’ve said this many a time, but J.R Ward is now my new favourite author!

(three minutes 16 seconds) I also have a Lora Leigh title coming in ,within the next few days.

So yeah books, books books! I was on a crime thriller type trip of late but finding and jumping into the Brotherhood series has reignited my thirst for sci-fi/ fantasy titles.

(two minutes 53 seconds)

Yeah okay so I am gonna break here and set this bid up, there are two bids from the same person,so fingers crossed eh?

Yep, job done thank you very much. I’ve just won a Kelley Armstrong title’ Men of the Otherworld’ I have read the stories on her web site as they are posted as Novellas but you know, I want them in paperback!

So nothing major is happening ( as usual) I’m just doing whatever offline instead of logging on!
