Stuck at home again

Well, this morning I woke up and it hurt! it all hurt!
I know what I did to pull my back out again, so there'll be none of that again!

I managed to get myself to my sofa, and have been here most of the day - it's crappy and I don't like it!
What really worries me is that taking this time off might be really affecting my work - well, I know it's affecting my work, and I'm trying to minimise the impace by working harder when I'm there, but I'm concerned that the people I'm working for at the moment will go to my agency and say well, shes good, but she keeps having time off, and we can't carry on. So I've been going in when I can, but in the three weeks I've been there I've taken the equivalent of 4 1/2 days off...gr!

sigh - i have some ideas for some jewellery to make with my stash, so i'll be doing that more than knitting i think - I think the rush and pressure surrounding the christmas knitting has turned me off a bit. I cast on a scrunchable scarf and a neck tie for my sister, but haven't got farther than 2 rows on either.

must eat..pizza or pasta??

Ow

Well, my shoulder hurts now. quite a lot. I wore heels to work, as my back and other hurts nastily tricked me into thinking I was better - I'm not.
I also learned today that my car is a write off - this is bad, and could mean all sorts of stress.

Sleep now.

What an Odd day...

As I ventured around Birmingham City Centre, I spotted a rather significant amount of police men... but there has been football on, between two clubs that are renowned for being violent (apparently - like I know that without asking someone!?!) so I thought little of it...
I bought pillows, and had a look in House of Fraser (very tempted by some reduced Rowan Little Big Wool, but managed to hold back!*proud*) then went over the the Bullring to get my car (via thorntons for my treat of the week oh, a bag of these too) and got locked in!
All of the entrances and exits were locked by security, because a riot broke out a result of a protest about Gaza... I can't find anything about it online, apart from a brief mention about the laying of wreath on the BBC website.
Locked in for about 20 minutes, then made it out and to my car and home.

I got home to find three fairly major bus routes have been diverted down my road - the road that a van and a car have to be a bit careful going down at the same time.Then for about 20 minutes there were two buses trying to get down the road...at the same time!

In Other News, these are just fabulous!

Food Calls, let's hope this doesn't go wrong!

Way to get the Giggle on...

I'm lying here reading Yarn Harlot archives, and giggling like a little girl.
I realise a while back that I've not read all of her blog, so logged on the other day and am reading from the beginning whenever I get a chance.
She's so awesome!

July 7th 2004 just had me absolute fits of giggles - I'm either on too many painkillers, or she's a great writer - I'm going for the second option!

Back at work tomorrow, armed with slow release painkillers and flat shoes...

I'll just read a few more entries first...

(I'm so going to have to ration myself soon)

Perumpety

Well, it's been an interesting few days - I went into work on Tuesday and ended up in tears I was in so much pain. Thankfully I was able to leave early and go to the doctors/rest, but I then took yesterday off aswell. My back still hurts, and my shoulders and legs too, which is great fun!
I've taken today off too, which is bad, becasue I really need to work to earn money, but I'm so stiff and ick!
The doctor kept saying 'keep moving, keep moving' which is great, but I know how my back is, and it can take a little bit of movement, but not huge amounts, and if I give it a few days rest, it'll be a lot better in the long run.
It's my body, surely I'm allowed to know what heals it?

Still no news on when the car needs to go in for repairs, but I called the insurance people yesterday and they said I need to call them when I know the booking in date and they'll arrange a car for me.

I also have bunged up ears, so am sat here with oily drop things and cotton wool in my ears. I can't hear much except my own breathing!

I've been making a fair bit of jewellery and pretty things, and have lots more ideas. I've also discovered the website Folksy which as far as I can see is a UK equivalent of Etsy, which is awesome. I'm going to put some of the new stuff up on there today, and see what happens.
I need to get better at promoting myself on the web, I've not sold much recently, and need to 'get back in the groove'

Poorly Car, Poorly Kayla

Poorly Car: bumped exhaust, knocked in boot, funky meaty driving - she's poorly! Took her into the garage for them to take pictures and do estimates etc - apparently it'll take about a week and a half to mend, so hopefully the insurance people will sort out a hire car and stuff for me!
Poorly Kayla: I think I have whiplash :~( My back hurts and my shoulders hurt...I'm kinda souped up on pain killers - my mega ones that the hospital gave me a few years ago, which is bad! I also still have the end of a cold...sniffly and gross! On a completely trivial note, it's quite annoying not being able to wear heels (they hurt my back), when I mainly wear heels at work - lots of outfits aren't viable anymore! *tut*
I'm having an early night with my book, The Bakers Apprentice by Judi Hendricks. It's a continuation of 'Bread Alone' a book I read years ago and really enjoyed.
More later, sleep calls.

Heaps

Is what kind of bad luck I'm having.

Yesterday, I got crashed into :~( Going left on a roundabout, the car behind me didn't stop! So I spent an hour on the phone to the insurance company this morning, but they're being good, and I might get a hire car while mine is getting fixed, which is good news.
Unfortunately the car hit mine quite hard - hard enough for the CD's in the centre block bit to be thrown about the car - and it's thrown my back out, so it hurts lots!

I finished my sisters mittens, and photos shall come soon

First Day Back in the Real World

Today was my first day back in work since before christmas, and I'm Tired
It was okay, and the woman I'm working with is as o as I am, so we've been getting on well.

I got diverted on the way home, which was interesting, as I don't know the area at all!

So tonight is lying on the sofa watching TV night, which I think is okay.

Sh*t Hit-eth the Fan-eth

Yuo, I'm behind on my rent, and instead of my landlord being understanding - as an association thingy - they have given me my notice.
great.
I need a place to live from next month - cheap rent, no deposit.
Not gonna happen is it?

I'm screwed.


And the cat just threw up on the carpet. great.

Happy New Year!!

Lets hope that this year brings the joy, light and laughter deserved.

I am lying on my sofa after having a new years lunch with friends at a local pub...
Had a good evening, although strangely it vastly improved after midnight!

I have been thinking about a plan for this year - not a resolution, but something like, I will take and post a photo everyday in 2009, but a variant of... I need to get my thinking cap on me thinks.
