Sick and tired...

Home sick from work for a second day. The minor cough I had to the last month has basically knackered my chest so I am armed with inhalers and a super-drowsy making cough syrup. The first plan was to curl up on the sofa with lots of tea and watch digital tv. But we have no milk and the digital broke down. I will have to go out shopping!!! And deal with NTL on the phone, which means staying on hold listening to rubbish tinkly music. I am feeling very sorry for myself indeed.

Yes, I should sleep, but that involves having a workable bed, but a middle of the night spillage which has resulted in children being banned from our bed in perpetuity means that is out of the question. Grrr....

Writing wise: I'm ploughing ahead on the new idea, because this always happens to me so I am just going to throw time and energy at it until I run out and turn my attention back to something else. I'm on to Chapter 3. :D

I got a rejection from IGMS for Old Friends last night. I have a print out of it so will give it a once over today and try to get it out again as soon as possible.  I still have to do the same with The Wolf's Sister. My main worry is that The Wolf's Sister is a much bigger job.

It also looks like I will be brushing off The Penitent again, as my time with MacMillan is up with no word from them, which I guess means a no. *sigh* I think I will hit the agent trail again. At least you generally get your rejections!

HEY! The TV has come back! Things are looking up! :D

Meme streets

here's a meme I got from kara_gnome
10th October 2007 - and here is it with comments added... :D Beause they told me I had to...

Your Birthdate: April 20

You are a virtual roller coaster of emotions, and most people enjoy the ride. (A ride means something in Irish slang that it does not appear to mean elsewhere in the world, so this might not be particularly complimentary. Well, complimentary perhaps, but not the sort of thing you'd want to hear about your sister!). Your mood tends to set the tone of the room (pastels!), and when you're happy, this is a good thing. (Because otherwise you are all going to pay! You hear?) When you get in a dark mood, watch out - it's very hard to get you out of it. (You know, this bit is right. I am a sarky wagon when given half a chance and when I am bad I am horrid!) It's sometimes hard for you to cheer up, and your gloom can be contagious. (Ol' misery guts me!) Your strength: Your warm heart (? Ahhhhh....) Your weakness: Trouble controlling your emotions (I warned you!) Your power color: Black (It is the new black, after all) Your power symbol: Musical note (Em... No.) Your power month: February (Because it is soon over?)

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Hmmm.... Do I get gloomy? Really? Me?

:D
