Maram, you're *the* star!

Guess what I'm watching? Guess what I'm wearing alongside my coca leaf?


::beams and does a happy dance::


Big, sloppy thank you kiss to you, darling!

Blah

Not much to say. Flu bug is still dogging me and the SO. 4th week. Never thought it could hang around this fucking long. Work is work. It's busy, it's getting boring, but that could have something to do with me being exhausted and moody.

Another appointment for med tests tomorrow. Quite important. Won't get the results 'til next week. Will probably get quite nervous about that. Oh, well. Add it to the list.

Days are getting shorter. I'm really not keen on Winter, and that, even here, Down Under. I feel like getting into my car and driving. Up the coast. To the reefs and beyond. Never did get to see Cape York and Queensland's Daintree Forest...

Should be working but I don't feel like it. A sentiment shared by many, I'm sure. Anyway, better get on with it.

And March came marching in...

January, February... they all came and went. Been having friends and family stay with us since New Year so it's been rather hectic. Still is. Not that I'm complaining. It's nice to have folks around.

Work is a mad house. Busy, busy and with everything needed to be done for yesterday so that's not helping. I haven't had a chance to sit down to write a fic in... well, over a year now, I think it's been, hasn't it? Wow. Thank god I still manage the RPG writing or I'd be about ready to blow. I'm actually at work now as I write this and I can see it pile up next to me as I indulge in this little break... grrr.

Just noticed how the days have already shortened. It's Autumn, wouldn't you know. Not helping my mood, I tell you.

Hubby's been away for a week. I miss my pillow. Nah.

, my sweet, I hope things are settling down in your neck of the woods.

Shame!

Looks like I missed Viv's birthday... :( Sowwies. Hope you had a good one, dearest.

?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla


Your champion is Hector. He is the best fighter in
all of Troy, and the best man perhaps in all
the known world. His code is simple, and he
lives by it. Honor the gods, love your woman,
and defend your country. He was loved by all
who knew him, truly knew him, and even him that
slew him had to accord him certain respects.
But though it is perhaps his greatest skill, he
is haunted by the horror of war, and does not
seek it. Do not be troubled, he does not shy
away, but he knows it too well to have his word
overlooked. Don't make that mistake. Your
greatest weakness is that you love all things
honorable, all things virtuous, and all things
which you owe allegiance perhaps too much. You
are always torn between them, always making one
to suffer for your choices. This is perhaps the
root of your covert disdain for the gods'
power. You are the best at whatever you do, be
it as a soldier, husband, brother, son, father,
or prince. Your death was not of your own
making, but rather of Patroclus. It matters
not, however, to Achilles. Even still, you
faced your fate with honor, and those that you
loved loved you back. You were granted the
proper burial rights. I wish I could think of a
way you wouldn't have to die, but I thought
about it and there wasn't, without yielding all
those virtues that made you a hero in the first
place. But regardless of your doom, you are an
immortal now, with a name echoing across the
ages of men. Of all the champions of the
battle, you were the leader that was worthy of
being followed.
