Hi! How are you today? How are you? Feeling good? How am I?

Well.

(takes deep breath)

I'm feeling rather under the weather myself, I still have all the symptoms from yesterday except that I'm starting to get a horrible cough too and my throat feels like it's practically closed off which makes it a trifle hard to breathe. I also cannot sleep very well lying down and therefore have royally screwed up my sleeping patterns which will make getting up at 6am on Monday next week for work a wee bit difficult. Speaking of work, this is the third day I've had off in one week and I am pissed off because I still have SO much to do and my poor kids! I feel slack. Not that I can do anything about getting rid of the stupid virus/infection faster because those little buggers don't tend to go away easily, but that doesn't stop me from feeling slack. My foreign X-Files DVDs don't play in my player. Roar. I am also pissed off that I miss out on meeting Lala and Mick tonight at the Gaelic Club, because the thought of being crammed into that teeny place with cigarette smoke and scary gropers terrifies me to no end, mainly because of the whole "can barely breathe" thing. And Jason? Probably won't be coming near me with a ten foot pole, stupid contagious virus, you know. So all up? I'M A WEE BIT CRANKY, but thanks for asking!

Now that the whining is out of the way, I feel much better, thanks. (Actually, I sort of don't feel any better, but I have a feeling people are going to start throwing chairs at me if I keep it up, so I'll shut up now.) I do have some good news, in terms of purchases though;

• I got a new phone! And it's a FLIPPY phone! And it's teeny-tiny! And I love it! It looks just like this. It even  has a little goldfish swimming happily around the external screen. Now I just need to find people to CALL and I'll be right! (Thank goodness you can't spread contagious illnesses through the phone.)

• My final Charmed boxset arrived today - now I am the embarrassed proud owner of the complete series. All matching, too! Hooray!

I will be all sunshine and rainbows tomorrow. Promise.
