How things go

I know, it's been too long. Again. It really is down to my new job keeping me so busy. I did have very good intentions to blog at the weekend just gone, but then, I decided to go for 'just a couple of drinks' on Friday evening and many, many things just went by the wayside. All is well in the land of Just, if a little busy. Moving house this weekend, and making what can only be described as a frightening lack of progress with the whole packing thing. Gawd, can't someone else just come and do it for me? Why do I have so much stuff? Why? Why? Why?

When I say 'stuff' by the way, I am not talking about my shoe collection; some things are sacred.

So, the news - in response to Tim's comment - an update on the man ahoy situation. Well, that just went nowhere fast. Got the old 'my ex-girlfriend from 2 years ago lives in Japan, but she is still very special to me; so special in fact that I keep a little shrine to her in my bedroom' line. Yep, that old chestnut. After hearing about that, he didn't seem quite so attractive any more, and to be honest, he was really short - I'd never have been able to wear my heels again. What was I thinking?

However, that was about 2 weeks ago, and I just had a fabulous weekend, which more than made up for that little fiasco. I got drunk, and got very hungover, then got drunk again and spent Sunday in recovery. Hangovers just continue to get worse as you get older, don't they? I just about felt human again at about 6pm yesterday, but all day today I still felt like I had been dragged through several hedges backwards. Everything aches. And my hair feels inexplicably heavy.

Right, I have to go now and pretend to myself that I will pack some more boxes up before I go to bed, when in truth I will just sit on my bed staring at all my junk, feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the task before me and choose sleep.
