They Say What They Say

I has scratchy throat and runny nose. Me thinks I has cold. Me's not happy :~(

Many, many thanks to everyone on my flist who sent me well wished about finishing my degree. I have to say, I couldn't have done it without you all. You provided me without countless hours of distraction and kept me sane throughout the entire process. It was a team effort, guys, and you all deserve a huge pat on the back.

*huggles flist*

Today is the first day in about a week that I have no plans, appointments, rendezvous or meetings. It's absolute bliss! The last ten days have be so damn hectic I've hardly had time to breathe, which is why my flat is a mess and I have a huge pile of laundry to do. All of which I will do, eventually. But first, I'm just enjoying putting me feet up and doing nothing *g*

Heh, David and Margaret just mentioned the Don McKeller film that's being screened at MIFF* this year. I may have to go see it on that basis alone.

Pumpkin and date muffins, and spicy lentil and vegetable soup are very much made of win, but the cleaning up of the kitchen after the frenzy of cooking activity is not so great. Plus, I think my sinuses are trying to kill me and my eyes are so scratchy I can hardly see. I may or may not be taking the day off work tomorrow, even though I have that meeting in the afternoon. I'm sure my new boss would prefer that I stay home and miss the meeting than spread my germs around at work.

Speaking of work, my first week in the new job was good. Really good. Remember last year when I was looking for ways to get out of old!job about three hours after I started it? Well, I don't think that's going to be happening for a little while at least. I may have a completely different opinion by the end of the month, but so far it's been good and hopefully it will stay that way.

I'm going to a wig party in a couple of weeks, so I have dutifully acquired a flippy blonde wig for the occasion. I'm not sure how I'm going to fit all my real hair under it, but I'll work it out, and I'm thinking a new dress may also be called for.

What?

Oh, shut up, you can never have too many dresses, shoes and handbags!
