For some reason I can no longer blog from work, a warning comes up when I try to open my blog and I can't visit anyone elses either. Oh well just have wait till I get home now and get on with work instead.
Will start to get busy again tomorrow as boss is back from his leave. He's been to the far east, lucky or what?
Feeling a lot better, been taking the tablets for the last couple of nights and getting a good sleep, only have 4 left but they certainly helped.
Had a brilliant day on Saturday, was in Rosyth visiting my beloved mum. Took her to Glenrothes for the day, went shopping and had lunch before coming back to Glasgow. Drove over at 9 and back at 7 so long day but really enjoyable. Probably go back over in a couple of weeks.
Must remember birthday card for mother-in-law, she's 90 on the 20th. Not bad eh.
Sister's birthday on 1st and cousin's on 2nd so busy time for cards.
Blog again soon.

Thursday again!!!
Hi
Can't believe it's almost the weekend yet again. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and apart from draining one arm of blood I was given some medication. Anti biotics and something short-term to help me sleep. Took the first one last night and after about 20 minutes, according to hubby, I started talking gibberish and staggered upstairs to bed. He very kindly filled my hot water bottle to save me the perilous journey back down to the kitchen. When he came to bed I was sound asleep with glasses still on and a magazine. To be perfectly honest I don't even remember the perilous journey let alone trying to read a magazine. Here's hoping it has the same effect tonight. Still feel a tad groggy this morning but not really tired. Too soon really to say they are working.
Have got the most beautiful picture of 'sunflowers' pinned up by my desk, they make me smile when I see them and then I have memories, from what seems a hundred years, of the person who painted them. Life's a funny old thing but it's best not to dwell on the past and wish for things which didn't and couldn't have happened.
It's so very cold this morning but as least we don't have the snow and ice from a few weeks ago. America is getting the brunt of it this time.
Well enough is enough better get started working.
Natter again soon, xx

Half way through the week
Can't believe it's Wednesday already, the days seem to fly past. Wow it's only 317 days until Christmas, better start buying the pressies. Oh no wait a minute, Easter hasn't been yet and then there are the summer holidays to think about. Ach I might as well wait a week or two before ordering the turkey, oops yes the holidays spring to mind again cos I'm going back to Turkey.
Lovely weather, friendly people, brilliant food and copious amounts of alcohol. Last year we only went for a week, ate like the proverbial pigs, drank like fish on a couple of occasions and I still managed to lose weight. Maybe the fact that we walked for miles every day. Imagine doing that in the sunny climes of Glasgow or Dunfermline or any other town in the UK - me thinks not. Roll on September when we do it all again for 10 days this time. Hotel is booked, still looking for flights but will be fine.
Short working day today, doctor's this morning - nothing too serious, got blood tests done so should know pretty soon. Hubby picking me up on his way home from work, he was sleep over last night so haven't actually seen him since Monday, that's life. (ooh that would make a good song title), so will be leaving early as well.
Really tired just now, had the cold then my black mood and an assignment to do but hey life is fun, grasp it with both hands cos you don't know what is round the corner.
Bye for now
More ramblings tomorrow.

What a day
Somehow I can't get onto my blog from work anymore. Was so disappointed. Mind you the computers were playing up most of the day so will see what happens tomorrow.
Had an assignment to hand in today and worked on it for over 3 hours last night. I put it onto a USB. Learned my lesson the hard way, saved my first assignment but for some reason it disappeared into the ethos never to be found again. I had been so proud of it and the second attempt didn't really match up. Passed but only just. Have been getting steadily better and now save on computer and stick. Panic set in tonight and thought I would have to go back to work. Had been doing some 'fine tuning' at work and saving as I went along. Anyway on the bus back home tonight thinking about things in general and mulling over if there were any more changes I could make when the thought suddenly struck me - I didn't have my 'stick'. OMG what to do. It was 17:45 but I called work and luckily one of my colleagues was still there. He very kindly got the 'stick' from my computer and e-mailed my assignment to me. I owe him a bar of chocolate least, would have been ciggies but he stopped 3 months ago. Anyway the beast has been put to bed. Waiting game until next week when results will be back. Hey ho, couple of days break then start on the next one. New books, new chapters to read, new subject matter, all very exciting.
Talk again soon, bed time for me now. Nite to all.

Happy Monday
Can't believe it's Monday again. Where do the days go to and why are Saturday and Sunday the shortest days of the week.
Feeling so much better today, glad I caught the black mood in time. Hate going there feel so worthless, helpless and of no value. Still things are much brighter and hopefully will stay that way.
Back at work bright eyed and bushy tailed (emmmm) well you know what I mean. So much to do and so little time to do it in. Have to get cracking on sorting out a filing cabinet and cupboard. Should have done it last week but with being off, etc, etc.
Have brought my assignment with me, will work on it at lunchtime and hope the gray cells start to work a bit better than they have been doing of late. Only got today and tomorrow to complete it. Thankfully I have a terrific tutor who will allow me extra time if needed. Beginning to like the course although it wasn't what I expected it to be. Bit of a mixture but will be worth it in the end. Who knows in 5 years I could have a BA in Criminology and then watch out, ha ha.
Time to go and get on with some work. Cheeri xx

Getting my brain into gear
I'm having a bit of a problem right now. I have an assignment to hand in on Tuesday and although I have my notes and textbook I just can't seem to get it together. Perhaps I'm just not meant to be doing this. I think about all the things I've been told about how to set out my assignment, how to read the question and how to write in my own words but guess what---- I can't remember a thing. There's just this black hole and nothing seems to be staying in there. I know eventually I will get something down on paper but right now I don't seem too certain.
It's been a funny old week, started on quite a low note, black feelings, not wanting to do anything but has changed for the better, slow but sure. The black feeling is now a shade of gray.
Life is good, family are keeping well and the dark nights are getting lighter. Friendships are blossoming and my dearest friend (you know who you are) is always there for me. I wish we could see each other again but then perhaps that wouldn't be such a good idea. Best to let things stay the way they are.
Less of the rambling and more of the doing, going to have something to eat then get the thinking head on.
Ramble again later.

Here we go again
Another day another dollar or so they say.
So tired, can't sleep at night, hate the dark mornings. Today is milder than it has been but really dreich.
Gonna be a really quiet day today, most of my colleagues are going to a launch. My friend is day off so will have to talk to myself, not unusual that one though.
Really annoyed with self at present, lost quite a bit of weight but have put on just over 2lbs over Christmas. Blame Sainsbury for reducing the price of a huge, enormous bag of brazil nuts from £2.99 to the measly sum of 40p. I just can't resist brazils. Maybe just as well they weren't chocolate coated or would have put on even more. Tried to ration them to about 6 per portion but don't think that means 5 or 6 times a day. Hey ho they're finished now so back on the wagon so to speak.
Must go, e-mails to read and work to be done.
Look forward to tomorrow.
