"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 Johan’s dad’s 70th birthday. We went to a pub to celebrate. Spent a few hours talking, playing with Harvey and drinking (though I was on coke because of painkillers). Sam went to get a knife to cut the cake, and it was massive 😛
I enjoyed it, though I was out about 3 hours too long. Went back to the hotel to relax before sleeping.
Travelled to Leeds today. It wasn’t too bad, apart from there being a police officer on the train from Durham to York, so I spent the entire time panicking. Found the hotel okay, where we discovered that somehow I’d booked a double room, rather than a disabled one. Managed to get it swapped though.
I was on my laptop using my phone, when I was looking for places to eat near where we were. Google knew where we were 😛 Decided to go to McDonalds after going to Sainsburys for fruit and Mountain Dew.
Spent the evening watching telly in the hotel room, before going to sleep.
Was just about awake when favourite carer arrived this morning, and after she’d done stuff in the kitchen was awake enough to get up and dressed.
Spent most of the day in bed again, though I was up for bits playing World of Warcraft. Also have been catching up with blogs- the photo is of a WoW Insider post that mentions my realm, EU-Quel’Thalas. Arkenstone is a troll, yes, but he’s funny and I quite like him.
Tried to watch The Ugly Truth, but it wasn’t funny so turned it off after about 20 minutes.
It’s way too hot, but going to Leeds tomorrow. A bit anxious as there’s a bit missing from the head rest of my wheelchair so I’ll have to try and keep it up by myself while travelling. It’s been really floppy so this is going to be interesting.
Woke up late again, having been asleep through the carer and given antibiotics in my sleep 😛
Was reading this book for a bit. Had a bad day of panicking so wasn’t in a good mood, but did get Elisaveta to level 73. Had an earlyish night for me as was exhausted.
Have been exhausted all day, payback from Thursday I think. Slept through the carer this morning, Johan woke me up at 11am to take my antibiotics, then I fell asleep again.
When I woke up it was hard to get out of bed. Managed it after a bit, and did my dailies and finished the Molten Front quests. Had a bath, and Johan took over my bed to watch telly.
Favourite carer came this evening when we weren’t expecting her 😛 She plaited my hair then she did some housework with the other carer.
Now watching Torchwood. Not as good as normal Torchwood, but I’m enjoying the storyline.
