a blog about what i didn't do.

I have no idea about a blog this week. I really, really don’t have the energy. The weather is turning, I have been back at work (so tired) and i have not being doing any writing or research. It is a bit shameful. Alright. A lot shameful. I would in fact be ashamed if I wasn’t so tired. And could be arsed.

I am feeling a lot better thanks to Kath and Brenda ringing me up and inviting me to have lunch. Sure, i ended up not getting anything to eat or drink but i loved the company. I miss you both. What was a bit weird was that they think i look different. I don’t think that i do. Even if i did look different i am the same person on the inside. If it is one thing that being ill has taught me is that people treat you differently depending on what you look like. Real friends don’t.
They did get me talking about my heady days at sea. I do miss the physical aspect of research. A lot. Probably in direct proportion to how much i dislike writing. If only i could do the former and not the latter. Life is so unfair.

*grin*

I know it is all relative. I have an easy life. Wanting anything more is most likely selfish. I am sure it is now that i come to think about it. I am a selfish person. That is why i bought myself some jewellery this arvo. I feel bad about wasting money. Good about owning something pretty.
I have two other things to say. Firstly, I am annoyed that i am going to have longer to wait to get and iPad (which feel really guilty about wanting but i still want one passionately). I might end up buying a kindle or something in a fit of pique.

Secondly. I love that a volcano in Iceland is causing trouble globally. Not for the individuals involved. Not at all. I am not a big meany. I am just glad that people who think they live separate from nature are getting a sample of what a global environmental disaster would do. Just a small, inconvenient disaster. And how quickly it can happen. How i am right to worry all the time!!

As i have said before i don’t see earthquakes etc. as an act of God. Rather the planet behaving as it is want. I don’t think it even knows that we are here. If it did, i am not sure that its actions wouldn’t be warranted.

Don’t mind me. I am just in a mood. I put it down to not enough people to argue with. When i say argue i mean healthy debate. Not whose turn it is to do the dishes. I have plenty of those.

Oh yeah i also have another thing annoying me today: Why do people insist on putting bananas in a plastic bag...they already have a sealed cover against germs.

That’s it. Have a lovely week. Hope you achieve something.
