I think I'll be glad when this week is over, although having said that, I think I'll be glad when this year is over. My asthma still isn't any better, it's getting steadily worse, to the point I think I've used the inhaler four times in one day today and still no better. I ache and my chest is sore and I don't have the flu, just a permanent nasal problem now. I'm still on the iron tablets, won't go into detail what that's doing to my insides right now, but have to stay on those for 2 months and then get another blood test before Christmas. So Christmas this year will be busy, giving blood and having teeth filled, whoopee do!
My writing has taken a back seat right now, since starting the OU course I've not really sat down in front of the computer and written anything. Although since I had a hacktool keygen virus on my computer I've been less and less inclined to venture onto the computer full stop. And it cost me £70 on my credit card to fix the bloody problem, but thankfully after several hours of talking to a guy from India on the Technical team for virus removal, he remote controlled my computer desktop and removed the virus. He also added a photo of himself because up until 3am we started talking personal issues as we waited for the scan to finish. I only know he left a photo of himself because I don't recall actually adding that particular photograph to my pictures. But anyway.
I have checked, all my pics are still there.
I found out quite a bit really, especially about arranged marriages, they're not as bad as they used to be, so some things do change for the better I guess.
I'm going to be rewriting my story for publication, I think as its my first book of the series I need to cover the background of the story, why the two alien characters had to travel to Earth to protect the chosen one, why was it important to give up everything for these children in the first place. There is a lot of background to cover and I think this first book might be as thick and full of detail as Isaac Asimov's Foundation book that I have on my floor shelf. I say floor shelf, its actually the space underneath my chest of drawers where the bottom drawer broke and I removed it, giving me space to store the books I've yet to read.
Another stressful item I thought I'd share for anyone who cares - I told Mark I was getting a kitten, he went balistic. I knew he would, but thought he would go equally ballistic if I'd brought the kitten home, put it in the dog cage and not told him about it until he returned home. Now I seem to have attacked this situation at the wrong level. Maybe I should have just brought in the kitty like I did with the dog and then ignored the sarcastic and angry glares from his corner. I will go and check out the rules of tenancy at the council offices tomorrow. I might have to back down on my part, but personally I don't see how. Having a cat about the place might reduce the amount of mice we seem to have in our house. We did catch the one that entered, but if more can enter from wherever, surely we do need a cat about the house as the dog and the ferrets proved inadequate.
It won't affect my asthma, animals were never a problem, but I think perhaps the heating and his smoking have caused this and perhaps the lack of iron in my blood has not helped either. But blaming the smoking is a good card to play, we've been wanting him to quit for ages, he keeps saying he will, but he never does.
Anyway, I do still love him, but he frustrates me at times and I have to behave myself and stop writing the poems that everyone knows is about me and how I feel in my situation and relationship.
My two new year resolutions are still firm though, ok, maybe not this year, that was never likely to happen. But I will see David Tennant one day, ha, probably when I make that move down south and he buggers off back to Scotland, that would be typical of me and him. I sometimes wonder if things had been different.........
Anyway, wondering what if's is hardly helping, I have to deal with the choices I made. So need to do more study and do the tea and feed the kids and relax on the sofa knowing I have the whole sofa to myself tonight.
Maybe a kitten isn't going to help, but tell me what is?
