Not 100% cold free, but allot perkier. More together, flitering out the noise at work to focus on what is really important. On the homefront it the last push of decluttering and tidying before it we put it on the market.

So life is good. Lets celebrate!!!

Well for a while, or so he claims.

Which Keefbabe R U?

Off ill again today.

Yesterday was a nice being off ill day, as far as physically feeling shite can be. Watched Enemy at the Gates again, which is quickly turning into my ‘confort cheer myself up film” in the same was as Apocalypse Now and Bladerunner used to be. My latest ebay auction (as part of the attic clearout) is now earning serious money. An out of print book I won on ebay turned up, so inbetween bouts of nausea and playing on the computer read bits of that. Also did of web programming which was nice, seeing as I’m getting bugger all done at work. Ate nice revitalising food and generally had a 14 hours of quality me time. Shame about the nausea.

Today was all fired up to go back in and have a laugh at work, but still feel crap. So I’m here at home again. However got the feeling that today will be more being ill doing useful things around the house since Rach is not working today.

Nice to see our Tiswas is still holding her own on Kitten War, even though in no part of the 4 years she has owned us* has she ever been a kitten!!

*as part of a timeshare with our other cats Holly & BBC.

Well my tranquiltiy from the holiday lasted all of five minutes when I returned the madhouse that was work last week. Nearly lost my sense of humour, and had a couple of outbursts before I got a grip on myself. Woke up on Saturday back to my usual happy self.

Had a very productive weekend. Got some rpg writing done, more for fun than publication, for my PBEM HeroQuest game. Played a fair bit of Day of Defeat: Source, which is like DOD but on speed with much prettier graphics. A nice game but one to avoid any public servers with more than 16 slots or brace your self for a bunny-hopping-run-and-spray-grenade spamming experience.

Did a great deal round the house, some more on the front garden, and we dropped the last of the excess books at Oxham in Headingley. Had a humbling experience as we crawled through traffic near the Original Oak/Skyrack as I realised I have been in Leeds 15 years!!! Man its time to move on!

Also popped over to Oldham to see the in-laws on Saturday day. Had a cracking pub lunch with much fine beer and had a quick drive round some of the houses Rach has seen on the Internet. Realised that we can now pop over and go in and look at houses! We’ll be doing this in upcoming weekends, when Rach isn’t working.

Work has calmed down and I am just plodding along now. Tomorrow I fly and get start coding some web applications that have been gently calling my name in the last busy month or so.

Presently I am travelling fast through an experience/perspective vortex. Events are accelerating and I’m strangely exhilarated. Seeds sown in my head three months ago are blooming fast. I’m also strangely guilt free. I’m not sure if this is because I haven’t got time or because of a fundamental change in my personality. I’m hoping it is the latter.

The move is defiantly now on. Rachel went to the bank yesterday and they will loan us the money to buy a considerably larger and more spacious pad in a nice part of Oldham. GO NEWPORTS!!! We are busy now being tidy and clutter free. The plan is to initially try to sell the house ourselves through House Web a website that makes sure you are advertised on most of the big house selling sites, without the exorbitant estate agent fees.

Work is that interesting time of year, when all the systems fail and the new batch of students arrive. Had a bit of a hissy fit when one of my projects got pulled forward a month and had to be implemented this month. But it has inspired me that from now on I’m going to pull my finger out and get things done.

Right must push off and get to work
