it is so cold i can't think

A few years ago i got sick. One of the things about being this particular kind of sick was that i no longer felt hot or cold. I mean i "felt" i was one of them but it bore no relation to the ACTUAL temperature. I am feeling a lot better now. It is winter. I feel cold all the time.....my fingers get numb as i try to type. This means that lately i have taken to only hand writing stuff. This adds to the big pile of other stuff i have hand written that needs to be typed in.

People offer suggestions like getting some one else to type it up but (a) that is cheating and (b) entering it into the computer is an editing step for me - I get sick of typing so i sort through my ramblings a bit.

Been an interesting week. Al Gore came to Aussie Land for a visit and everyone tells me their climate change thoughts (the thing is that i am a researcher...so i my opinions are fluid and i like to change them as i take in new information...i think it is the whole point). The PM is all gung-ho about it too www.pm.gov.au

I have had nightmares this week about my work as well. Lost opportunities, am i wasting my life (i think yes BTW), i gave up so much to have achieved so little. Lovely week. I think it was the lack of sleep and hormones that did me in really. We had this whole doorbell thing. ALL Saturday night it kept ringing. At like 3 am we went and dismantled the thing. It turns out my neighbour had the same problem. It was not people.....so some kind of electrical interference setting them off? Another neighbour had their sewerage system explode. It was quite a weekend.

Best get back to my books (reading a book about word origins) and TV (little one watching Pyche season 1 so i have to supervise as she is only 11)
