In WHich There Are Whales And Spring Time

Greetings!

I've been noteable absent from blogging for two reasons.
One. I am lazy and easily distracted.
And Two. I have been reather increadably sick.

Nothing too startling. Just rottenly sick.
I don't get sick often, usually only on big sickness a year. And one really nasty sickness every few years. Last year was a vicious chest-infection that had me absent from work without pay for two weeks. More or less bedridden. Fever, asthma (which I'd never had before), shakes, chills, the whole shabang. Nasty stuff really. Luckily I was living with Glenn's parents at the time so I could afford to be off work without pay.
It was the sickest I've been in my life, without exaggeration.

This last week was not nearly as bad.
Just one day bedridden.
I've been off for the last two weeks or so with nausea and stomach aches. My stomach whale was making a good home for itself.
What finally brought me down was a truly brutal head cold. What a mess. It took me a few days of recover.
Ended up throwing up on the bus coming home from work the following day.
Mortifyingly embarrassing.

I'm feeling more human and healthy now. Just the occasional upset tummy and I'm still knocking out the build up of fun mucus from my system (Fun!). But really feeling much better.

What is awesome is SPRING IS HERE!
The Winter, though not as vicious as last year, was none the less cold and dreary. Add to that the last Summer was lack luster a best, having Spring show up like a much awaited punch to the face has been wonderful!
It's all been a nice combination for Spring thunder storms, which I adore! And clear blue sunny days. Still a bit chilly, but such a long awaited sight that the cold can't really deduct from it!

Friday was the peaks of the storms so far. With howling winds, sheet rain and hail, with a loving fistful of thunder and lightening! We were grocery shopping when the best of it hit. It sounded like someone had dropped something quite large on the roof of the Countdown supermarket we were shopping at. Very exciting! And it cleared just enough for us to lead everything into the car and get home relatively dry too!

As you might tell my the over-use of '!', I'm very excited about the recent weather!

As for today, like yesterday, it was stunningly clear blue weather. Better in some ways even.
I woke up at 7am to my alarm to plug my iPod Touch Ozmos in to charge for the target 5 hours before work. Then prompltly fell asleep after turning my computer on and plugging Oz in. Slept till 10am. Nice.
Got up and got ready for work with HEAPS of time to spare. And was infected with the blue sky and sun and cleaned my room. I only clean in good weather, so my room gets VERY messy over Autumn and Winter. I cleaned The Corner where things have been piling up for months, sorting out all my paperwork and throwing heaps out too. So I feel very good. I have a clean patch of floor now to go with the other growing clear patches of floor. A few more free sunny warm days and my room will be publicly acceptable! Eeegats! Gawd'zuuks!
On top of that. Last night I was contemplateing re organising my room to look somewhat as it did whenh I was living with my parents. And I think I will. Swap my desk and bed positions somewhat. Yes. I think I will.

What else to mention?
Glenn bought my some lip blam at my request on Friday after dropping me off at work (so I wouldn't barf on the bus again), and he got me a stick of lip balm (I usually get little pots) and it was strawberry flavour (I get vanilla) and WOW! It tastes like strawberry Nerds xDDD
Not what I would have picked but I love it!!!

I played some Wizard Rock at work a few weeks ago actually xD
It was great!
I was in charge of the store all day (on my own) for the first time and pluggest Ozmos in with a playlist I made for work. Turned out I wasn't allowed to plug him in, but not because of the content but because it was harder for the store manager to monitor. So I'll be making a Wrock included CD of music for work soon. I'll post the contents of said CD and thew reaction here!

Throwing-up on the bus, sickness, Spring weather, Wrock ar work and lip balm...what else?

OH RIGHT!
I get a small Design Commission Job!
The Upper Hutt City Library, my local library and one that I worked in during my final year of High School has asked my to make a Powere Point presentation for an award they're finalists for for inivations!!
I got the call on Tuesday and was going to go in for the meeting the next day be ended up being so sick I could bearly stay vertical let along leave the house, so reschedualed for Thursday.
Meeting went well.
I'm super nervious though!
I haven't touched Power Point for years, so over the next week I'll be going over the content for the award and presention and getting up to scratch with PP. Might also contact my 7th form computer teacher at my High School and see if she can up-date me faster. She was lovely and we got on well.
I also have to decide what to quote them for the project. I have no idea!!!
Research!

I think thats it, I'll add anything interesting new blog if I think about it.

Right now I'm reading a HP Fanfic called Child of Four by sarini in fanfiction.net and it's amazing! Love it!
I am still part was through the fourth book of Saving Connor but just needed a break.
CoF is just brilliant. It has a fun twist on early events in HP and really has some fun plot ideas and is very ingenious was of marrying the changes with the existing plot perfectly. Easily one of my fave fanfiction I've read, I totally recommend it anyone who doesn't mind Harry/Draco and a bit of tame boy smut.

Ah well.
Night Internet (or really Shannon and anyone else who reads)
Honestly post, I'd love to hear from anyone who reads.
I do right this for myself to some degree, but I love to hear from anyone who follows.

Back to reading CoF!
