Basically my body has reacted to the final cumulation of my months of stress about the conference by going HERE HAVE LOTS OF SPOTS AND MOOD SWINGS. Which is...interesting. And by interesting I mean dreadful, particularly as I'm meant to be having my photo taken soon for the departmental Christmas card and there is little less appealing than a gingerbread man with fucking spots.

Yesterday I wrote out the "first wave" of Christmas cards- by this I mean the cards that need posting with stamps but do not contain presents. This is because not all of the presents I have ordered have yet arrived.

Today I got home only to be summarily kicked out and sent down the road because Nanny and Auntie Maura had gone to visit relatives in Brum and Auntie Irene was minding Gunner, so I needed to go and mind Fern and Snoopy (Mum had a meeting). It was fine, they ate every bite of my chicken noodles with me and we had a little play.

Got home and watched two episodes of Duckula, the second of which was interrupted by some bastards throwing eggs at the window. Cue cleaning in high winds and dark mutterings. If I ever ascend the throne, know that bromide in the water is sometimes the only way.

*hugs* Ugh, spots always appear just before photographs. I hope they faade quickly.

Hurrah for getting christmas cards done! And sorry about little rodents throwing eggs. Bastards.

Thank you- I hope they fade too. It is all very irritating.

BUT YOU SURVIVED THE CONFERENCE. WELL DONE, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS (it sounds very similar to me and student induction and that was exhausting for me!) I hope you feel better soon - and get to have a rest over Christmas!
