To be fair, today started pretty well. I had a good night's sleep and the grumps were pretty much gone once I woke to blue skies and sunshine, and I got lots done first thing, various chores & sorting, and mum made chicken soup for everyone for lunch, and I was going to get walkies after my shower, except got the timing wrong as dad was in the way so I ended up getting lunch first, then just chucking clothes on to get a walk while the sun was still out, and met my dad coming back from the library so we walked together.
And then mum planned to make corned beef stew for dinner so I was busy peeling the potatoes, and then started feeling very odd, had tea and biscuits, didn't help, had more milk, didn't help, ended up lying on her bed under a duvet as I felt too fragile to go very far but needed to be lying down *right now*. After which I managed to get upstairs and crawl under a blanket, suspecting a seizure would hit. Luckily napping seems to have averted it and I did finally manage to get a shower round 9pm, then made dumplings to go with the stew which was delicious, and other than that have been reading and trying not to move around too much cos I keep going very shaky, urgh.
So much for the plan to do some Italian and read Chinese today, have to be tomorrow I guess. At least I managed to extract Zebedee's shed skin from his tank - had I tried last night I would have been nibbled but today he just popped his head up as though to say "What *are* you doing?" and then ignored me. I measured his shed, which is a semi-accurate measure of a snake's length, give or take an inch and he's 29", thats 2ft 5", getting to be a looong little snake, about double what he was when we first got him.

Its been a rotten day - started out ok but I went really ill this afternoon and couldn't cope with talking to anyone, so apart from a few text messages I've barely spoken to a ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) forest, who texted to say he was on MSN for a bit before bed, so I scampered in here to the PC, tried to launch Messenger and it refused, saying I had to update. Fine, fine, clicky button...
And 35 long minutes later, by which time Forest has texted to say he's off to bed so I didn't get a chance to chat, I finally have a working Messenger. And ooh, a Windows Live folder in my Start menu too. I've got a blogging tool! (do not want). I've got a photo gallery thing !(do not want). I've got some kind of Mail client (still happy with Eudora for all my email needs after 13 years, thanks....)
I also had the option of checking the box to make Bling my search provider *and* ensure no programs could change it. Er, no.
And have MSN as my start page. Er, no.
I think Silverlight has crept in somewhere as well, not sure either way on that.
So 35 minutes installing stuff I don't want or need and will never use, plus trying to help me to use even more unwanted services, and meanwhile I don't get to be silly and snuggly online to my man for ten minutes or so which is all I wanted.
If I ever get a laptop, its having Ubuntu. No question.
Grrr.

My new foster kitty! This is Woo Woo. Well, that's the name she came with. Her parents are Mr. & Mrs. Woo. Dad was a full-blood Himalayan and mom was a Siamese/Snowshoe mix. I've got her to try to socialize her because at her first adoption event for the shelter, she was hissing, spitting, clawing and biting. I've renamed her Witch Hazel (or just Hazel to her friends). Partially because it fits and partially because I don't care how much baby-talking she gets, I'm not calling her 'Woo-woo.' Just. no.

Dear GG,
I'm sorry I threw you in the sink but I didn't want you to puke on the carpet.
I'm glad your feeling better now.
I'm sorry mum fed you raw hamburger.

| Eddie on Tour |
[09 Nov 2009|10:47am] |
For those of you in St. Louis, Eddie will be here on January 9, 2010 at the Fox Theater. This is a much better venue than the Roberts Orpheum where he was in May.
Tickets are on presale right now with the code IZZARD. Regular sale starts on November 16.
I got mine!!!!! 8th Row Orchestra! I'm very, very excited! Especially since we were two rows from the ceiling at the Orpheum and couldn't see anything and had a bit of a hard time hearing. Eddie was great but that has to be the worst venue I've been in.
