I need cheering up

[wellinghall]

I've had an absolutely knackering week at work - the total hours spent there haven't been too bad, but it has demanded a high level of thought and concentration, and made pretty full use of my skills. I've also had to cope with group head office, investment managers (who seem to think we work for them, rather than the other way round), trainees, accountants (sorry rustica) and our third party admin provider. And worst of all, I've got to go in tomorrow!

Home hasn't been a bundle of laughs either - I soaked my feet, socks and trousers, and cut my finger, trying to unplumb our old dishwasher (Comet will connect the new one, but not disconnect the old one, which seems odd to me); I had a hell of a time trying to wrap up my two swords; and I've still got several more parcels to wrap.

The house is a tip, I'm spending too much money on books, CDs and DVDs, drinking too much caffeine, and taking too little exercise.

OTOH, Creatrix has been taking care of me, and, er ... well, not much else springs to mind at the moment. I'm trying to keep myself going by thinking of Orkney ...

... but if anyone can tell me something to cheer me up a bit, that would help.

Thanks

You still have your passport ;-)

I was nodding my head sympathetically until I got to the line "I had a hell of a time trying to wrap up my two swords", at which point I just went...

*blink*

I've always found that a very good way to cheer myself up is to write something funny. That would make a first-rate first line. :-)

This is just the 'glass is half-empty' mood. Tomorrow things will look a bit brighter!

You'll soon be very close to a certain northern beer as well as all that Highland Park!

Oh and the reverse cowgirl is a very crude(and silly) name for an otherwise pleasant position!

Sounds perfectly awful to me--idiots at work, wet feet, clogged dishwasher--why don't you just hang it up? Can such a life be worth living?

Cheer up, you can look forward to reading all those lovely books you have bought. (unless you are like me and would rather not sleep than have an unread book in the house - in which case you can look forward to rereading which means you are allowed to skim-read the slower parts of the book)

I am also spending too much money on books so if you want to borrow any of mine you are most welcome. I'm afraid they're mainly 20th century fiction, though, and none of them appear to feature the Reverse Cowgirl.

Cheer up! Sounds like you're getting stuff accomplished at work despite the stress...

*hugs* I am trying to think of something cheerful to say, but all I can think of is otters. They are cheerful, but not very wordy... ;-)

Why don't you just have a few beers, that always cheers me up

Well, I wasn't sure whether you'd appreciate Daniel with the teddy bear, so have a squirrel and lots of *hugs* instead.
