Last time I was here (16 days ago) I chided myself for neglecting this blog, and I fully intended not to do it again. But, life happens, and while supplying my few fans with things to read was always on my to do list it just kept getting shoved to the bottom by more important things.
As it is, this will have to be a very brief fly-by posting, as I am on my sister’s machine at my parent’s house, which is quite possibly the slowest computer in history, if you discount my old ’98 IBM. (It’s actually the same computer I used for my 6th Year projects and essays, and all my computing needs during my gap year, so I’m quite fond of it in a way, but I do remember it being much faster then! Perhaps Claire, who adopted it when I received a shiny new laptop, has not been treating it so well.) Anyways, I logged on fully intending to end my email and Facebook checking session with a nice long blog, but that was over an hour ago, and frankly I’m sick of the waiting for things to load and the clicking/whirring/whining noise that the computer tower makes when its ‘thinking’, so you lot will just have to do without.
So, I shall give my news/highlights of the past two weeks in bullet points, and I promise to resume normal wordy programming when I’m back in the land of fast RAM and Tiscali broadband!
1) I lost my job at the Swine Flu line due to “lack of traffic” – it sucks as I needed the money, but I’m really not surprised at all!
2) I came home to Aberdeen for my birthday – was only supposed to be here for five days, but see above, under lack of job to return for, and so I ended up staying and mooching off the parents for an extra week.
3) Fleur came with me for the first week and we had a fantastic time.
4) Dad has been in Calgary (where spent the first ten years of my life) for work the past few weeks, and Mum and Claire have been home alone driving each other crazy. (Another reason for my extended stay is that he was given a week’s vacation to come back and see us all, and he’ll be going back til the end of September on Monday.)
5) Pepper is still as cute as ever, and we finally found a way to give him his wormer without him knowing – the dog is very clever when it comes to avoiding taking his medicine, and has been getting cleverer (and driving us up the walls) for the last four years, so this is big news in the Wilson household. (We’re sad, but it’s true!)
6) I turned 21!!! Aaaah!
And that’s about it! I really do promise to get back to proper blogging, both for the sake of my readers and my portfolio, soon. Until then!
