Fed up with Flu

Damn those microbes!

After a week and a half, approximately 2-3 weeks ago, i have the signs of flu again. They snuck up thursday night and by friday its full blown snot, sore throat, headache, etc. I put the illness down to low chi (qi) levels resulting from the stress and strain of running two lives! I envy those men out there who manage to have more than one "affair", which i must say I dont consider myself to be doing (although on a technical level it is). Gee, they must have great stamina and energy either that or they suffer with every nasty bug out there!

Well, shopping for xmas (do you hate that abreviation?) is done as far as practical, or as much as i will ever do. I went yesterday and after 3 hours of ignoramouses (is that the correct plural?) who walk around in a daze and get in the way, and of course the chill factor, (I found my self going into shops i would never go into, just to get warm), I quit. Amazon and Ebay beckoned nearer and resultingly made several sales from me in the endevour to resolve the present shortfall.

Are you looking forward to it? The only thing I am looking forward to is the extended break, from the 18th December to the 7th January when the main item for the agenda will be not to think about the work I never did, do not intend doing (i.e. delaying doing until new year - note, just in case the boss reads this blog), and all the fun and enjoyment i do intend to have.

Happy Holiday.

nearly christmas

well, i am in the run up to holiday time as i complete my last full week and then im off work until January 7th 2008.

It has been a year of events and next year is set to continue with the trend. I am sure you read my last few entries, and are aware of my impending separation after a long 16 years of marriage. While i have no intention of sharing intimate details, i did decide to put some stuff on here because there may be others of you going through similar times.

My last few weeks have been concerned with futile petty battles with the wife and her family. It came to a head at the beginning of the week when there was a large "discussion" during which time I tried to keep calm and sane. Then things sort of got a bit better, the air being clearer for a while.

I dont know how long the accomodation situation will take to resolve, but my latest offer of a bungalow has fallen through for various reasons; and we're back to bidding on properties few and far between.

At least I have a long break from work and als0 from home, because the family is going away for 4 days and then i am going with my new partner for a week away.

Happy holidays to you all!
