ADS (Autumnal Dysfunction Syndrome)

I am suffering with ADS. I do so every year, it kicks in 5 days before the clocks go back. I made it up.


So I haven't posted any ramblings recently. To be fair I have been fairly busy, with going to work 9(30) till' 5(30) (DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM!!!), getting angry with the damp/lack of hot water/Satanrabbit/melting heaters, planning my wedding, and attempting to write.

On the writing front, I have FINALLY submitted my first article (don't hold your breath...), and am well on the way to giving birth to 2 more. My first 'success' saw me earn 25 pounds for a picture of Trent with the plastic top off a Cornetto on his head being published. I am now hoping Trent becomes a cash cow when it comes to the woman's weeklies.

The sudden surge in writing has obviously been achieved by the fact my dream has now become possible. Yes, I can sit in Starbucks on my Macbook now, because a) Starbucks has now opened in Lancaster, and b) I forgot we earn sod all and bought a Macbook. This was only because last year I was extremly foolish and bought an Acer laptop...with Windows Vista on it!! So of course it's now dead.

The only problem with this is that once you've had Mac, you'll never go back. Which means I get very grumpy at work when I have to use Windows. Ugh. There is nothing better than typing away on my Macbook on a Sunday afternoon being not quite sure of the new time because of DST and a large glass of red wine.

On the wedding front, I've still got a fair bit to do but am having a rest period. Groomzilla is doing the invites and getting flustered. Dress is bought - v. dark purple and clingy as hell (in a good way), but I cant afford to put on ANY weight. I just need to keep the wine bump in check and I'll be fine. We are having pagan handfasting rings instead of boring gold bands since I am a super-dooper witch (and we cant have the actual handfasting ceremony - my evangelical mother would almost certainly refuse to come)!



This is my personal online journal - recording my rants and ramblings (usually wine-fuelled). 
Feel free to read the less edited musings of my soul, but you might need a strong cup of coffee and a well-known orangey energy tablet. 
Sometimes, I add pictures. It breaks up the day.
