Cheerful thoughts...

Ok, I feel like poo today. I'm tired, grumpy and my back is hurting enough to reconsider my stand against codeine. Hence, I'm thinking cheerful thoughts and posting about things that make me smile...

Favourite things

Well it didn't take me very long to figure out I didn't want to be at work today, so after about 3 hrs of whining I begged off and logged a tonne of paper-work with me to go work at home. I was tired, grumpy and fuzzy-headed from paracetamol. Work from home hey? Riiight...

So I grabbed a cab and scooted on home, to discover I had my very own welcoming committee waiting:

Apologies for the dodgy phone-cam pic: it's the only digital I have. Sam also seems a little wary of the real camera and refused to stay still long enough to get a good photo.

Anyway, after being jumped all over before I even got in the door I desperately needed a shower and a change of clean clothes. Ahh, hot water on a sore back! Of course, I huddled into a big fluffy jumper and ugg boots. I then had a spot of lunch and pottered around for a while, trying to gt my disaster of an apartment into some sort of order. Whilst putting things away in my room I decided my back might appreciate a quick lie-down to relax the muscles. Well that became a 2 hr snooze as I reallised how tired I was and that coffee is not a suitable substitute for sleep. Now I'm slowly waking back up, with a cup of peppermint tea to lift my spirits. After sitting by my door for 5 hours I also relented and let Sammy in the house. I'm such a soft touch...
