Read about my battles with Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), my mental health, surviving both childhood sexual abuse and a 12 year relationship plagued with emotional abuse, as well personal projects / challenges, and anything vaguely Jem-related.
Yes, that’s right, I’m going through the menopause. Sure, I might be about 25 years too young, what why should that stop someone like myself? How else can you explain the dramatic mood swings I’ve been experiencing today? I woke up fine, felt like bursting into tears every five minutes between 9-11am, felt fine again… read full entry »
…all I can think to write about is a load of whingy bollocks. And, I also hate it when: I (unintentionally) bite the inside of my cheek four times in a row, causing my mouth to swell and bleed, making chewing impossible. People talk about me in “private” forums (what’s particularly amusing though, is that… read full entry »
…you create a PHP script to parse your telephone bills because you can’t be bothered to install suitable software to deal with .csv files. (If anyone wants that code btw, let me know and I’ll hook you up. It’s designed to parse BT phone bills in .csv format with colour coding depending on the incoming… read full entry »
I’m having a great day so far. I opened my inbox to a very pretty “Happy Valentines” photograph from Han (who I’m yet to thank, oops) and an e-mail from my mummy telling me that her flowers are beautiful.

I’m not feeling very well. I have a sore, swollen throat and watery eyes. My nose is congested and dribbly. Please leave sympathy and promises of chocolate.
Karl and I have spent all weekend cleaning and moving furniture. Perhaps I’m just being stereotypical/sexist but it’s obvious the flat hadn’t seen a woman’s touch in at least a year. We blasted the shower ‘cubicle’ thing with the steam cleaner and old hair shot out the bottom. Now that was just ‘eww’, and I’ve… read full entry »
Some of you might remember that I mentioned Karl and I have some news? Well: I’m pregnant! Oh wait, wrong news.. (ahh, that never gets old.) Karl and I have a flat! (That’s apartment to you Americans.) We went to look at a little place in the same building that I work in two weeks… read full entry »
