"I find penguins at present the only comfort in life. One feels everything in the world so sympathetically ridiculous; one can't be angry when one looks at a penguin." – John Ruskin
Today was a lazy day. Got up rather late, stayed in bed even longer, then got up and played on my computer for a while. Managed to get my druid in World of Warcraft to level 40, which made me happy 🙂
Today’s picture is probably my favourite penguin picture ever. I need to get a nice frame for it really.
It was the last day of college today, so I forced myself in. To start with, the Metro I needed to get was off because of cable theft, so I had to get the bus in. Luckily we didn’t arrive too late.
In Interface there was a talent show, which was awesome, though it was very loud at times. I sang with the band (I think they called themselves “In Your Face”).
After leaving college, we decided to go into South Shields to get lunch, and we fancied some cocktails, so had some 🙂 It was fun, though we both had too much food 😛
We then had a bit of a look around the shops. While in Poundland I spotted a bottle of PVA glue with a Sad Onion on, that is 0-5 instead of 0-3. It has 2 more years of sadness! I also found the whiteboard markers that I like (and bought a packet for my Computing teacher, as she wanted to steal mine), and some coconut hair stuff and batteries.
I also bought a new MP3 player from Argos, to use as a backup when my phone battery dies. I put the pink cover on it 🙂
I was getting rather tired by this point, so we decided to go home, so I could nap before the carer came to give me my bath. That didn’t go to plan, as someone decided to slash another person’s face with a knife on the Metro we were on. That meant the Metro and the station were crawling with police, and I panicked 🙁 I don’t think the injuries were too serious, though the guy retaliated by beating the other one up.
We finally got home about 5.20pm, but it was too late for a nap. I had my bath when the carer came, and after a rest have been on the computer since then.
Had a bed day today. Was up for a short period this morning, but got really dizzy and nauseous from meds so had to lie back down. Was okay until my body threw a wobbler when I tried to look out the window. Hoping things will be okay for going in for the last day of college tomorrow.
Woke up very late today, gone midday (I can’t remember exactly when). Was totally exhausted, and felt pretty rough. Was unsure whether to go to the prom today, but after much dithering decided to go. Got ready, then we left.
The Prom was brilliant 😀 There were most of the Interface students, both current and past. It was nice seeing some of the old students again 🙂 It was quite loud, but alcohol works brilliantly for pain, anxiety and copingness, so I managed okay. Even danced a small bit in my wheelchair 🙂
I had a great time, and I think other people did too. Got home just before midnight, and have been looking at motability cars since 😛
Woke up this morning just before the carer arrived, which is a first for a bit 😛 My digestive system was a bit more cooperative today, and I was feeling a bit better than I was.
This morning we messed around with hooking my computer to the telly, then decided that playing WoW on it won’t really work because it’s a bit far away from where I’m lying in bed. I tidied up around my bed and a tiny bit around my computer desk, then was knackered so rested in bed for a while. Later on I felt more up to sitting up, so played on World of Warcraft and The Sims for a bit.
Post today was a Graze box (yummy) and my birthday present from Johan, which is this weather station. It’s hard to take a photo of it, because it’s really reflective, but it’s really shiny and colourful and iPhoneish 😀
