Bloody physiotherapists. He's given me accupuncture and I'm sure it's not supposed to hurt, but it does. Lots.
Today I am in large amounts of pain. I couldn't even get up with fluffy this morning. :(

Bloody cat
Well, my beloved kitty, Khaymen, spent the night attempting to put a kink in my spine.
Thanks for that, kitty!
Gosh, isn't it cold today? Snow in London? Whatever next?
Mrs B is asleep, bless her cotton-clad boobies ... talking of which, I haven't molested her yet today ... lol ... have to rectify that once she's awake!
We found a red rash on the back of Peter's knee yesterday when he got out of the bath. It went away after a bit, and was more like a bit of dry exzema-type skin, so we'll keep an eye on that.
Well, I'm hoping to be able to get on with some work today. I have the creative writing course on this afternoon, and was hoping to get something done this morning before I go ... I was in the flow earlier, but Peter was being cranky early morning refusing to sleep baby this morning, so it's gone now.
Oh well.
I shall try.
ps: I love you Mrs B. Lots and lots and lots. Hugs.

Sparklies
Sparkly, sparkly, sprinkly sparklies
Mmmmm
Magpiniacal sparkledom
Mmmmm
And the cat is sat on top of the monitor. Hello Khaymen :)
Took Peter up to "baby bounce" - a children's story and singsong time up at the library this morning. He seemed to enjoy himself.
Knackered, now.
Doing well with Heng. Writing is fun :)

Nicholas' 4th Birthday Party
So, we took Peter to my nephew's birthday party. It was Peter's first party. He did not enjoy it, poor lamb.
He's also being sick an awful lot, which is worrying. Such a cranky little boy today. Glad it's all over now and he's asleep in his cot. I suppose, what with teething and all, him having just (at last) got into a routine with his day time naps, going to a loud kids party in the afternoon was not the best thing for him.
Never mind.
Knackered.
Need a rest.

Bad dreams
I woke up this morning from a bad dream. Mrs B had gone and I was really upset. I rolled over to cuddle up and go back to sleep but the bed was empty. I had to get up and come down stairs and check that Mrs B and Peter were here.
It was like that time when I was a kid and I dreamed that my brother got killed. I woke up from that one and checked his bed to reassure myself but he wasn't there. It was so upsetting and it was only when I got downstairs and found him sat at the table having breakfast that I realised it was just a dream. I gave him such a big hug then. He thought I was daft.
I think Mrs B thought I was daft this morning, too, but I got a big cuddle too :)
Lucky husby bear. Now, on with the pantie-destroying mission. On, I say! lol
I love my wifey and I'm never letting anything bad happen to her ever.

Horny husby
That's me :)
In other news, got some good stuff done today for Heng. And flufflebunny rolled over for the very first time! Woo Hooooo, well done Peter bear :) That's my boy :)
And American Idol starts tonight.
I just had another look over at Snark Central to see if there were anymore comments on my first 750 words. Nup. Oh well. Guess, being #53, everyone was already worn out reading the others and couldn't be bothered with mine.
Well, nyah nyah nyah, she liked mine. I didn't even get a single editorial comment from her :) So phhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!
As Mrs B says, though, I'm never satisfied. Of the 11 comments, 2 are from people I know, 2 are my responses, 1 is a response from one commenter to another, and the remaining 8 are positive, so I should be pleased. No one said it sucked. But I want more. More damnit!
Anyways, I'm horny. Gonna chase Mrs B around the living room for a bit. Continue my unending mission to break her panties by flicking the elastic and wearing it through! lol
Bye for now :)

Mwah ha ha
She's learning ... she really is. Mrs B keeps leaving the living room door open when the gas fire is on so that all the heat we've built up exists in a rapid fashion to the rest of the cold cold house. And the central heating is really just a little too expensive to have running all the time.
I keep mentioning to her that she's left the door open and she tuts and returns to close it ... sometimes.
Mwah ha haaaaa
Sorry Mrs B.
She was going upstairs, though, to fetch monkeyboy after he'd stayed in his cot for a whole hour for his nap. I really should have done some writing while he was asleep instead of staring at the vapid Trisha show! Oh well. Well done, monkeyboy. That was a fantastically long nap :) Proud of you, my boy.

Whistles, nonchalantly
Gosh, there is so much time a person can waste on the intermenet. I really should get on with some work.
Now I'm just showing off ...
because my wifey is the bestest wifey in the whole wide world of wifeys :) wuv you Mrs B.
Also, my son, despite being a wriggly little wyrm, is still a special splendid splinter off the old chopping block!
I'm a lucky daddy, I'm a lucky daddy,
A doo dee doo dee doo da, a doo dee doo dee doo da
I'm a lucky husby, I'm a lucky husby,
A doo dee doo dee doo da, a doo dee doo dee doo da
And mummy's singing "bestest bestest baby poo" to Peter behind me on the sofa.
And Khaymen (the kitty) is purring on my lap and trying to sit on my hands ...
And Willow (the other kitty) is hiding upstairs, but he gave me noseys earlier :)
And the sun is shining, and the birds are singing, and I'm going to write about Frank, my favourite neihbourhood psycho eviscerate some defenceless sap!
Woo hoo!
If I can drag myself away from the wonderful distraction of the intermenet!
Hard, when my pretty wifey is sitting there looking all pretty and special and lurvely.

Morning all
Am feeling much better today, not having spent most of the night lying awake shivering in withdrawal from the super-meds the hospitalo gae me. That was horrible!
No, I spent last night ... asleep :)
Which was nice :)
Glad I got good feedback from her royal snarkiness, and one piece of constructive criticism and that about a word I'd already removed in my final redraft :)
So, Devonian refers to a paleontological discovery in the county of Devon to everyone except Devonians themselves who use it to describ themselves. Oops, that kinda gives my origins away, don't it? I'm an emit! Nooooooooooooooooooo ... (to the uninitiated: that means one that has emigrated to that noble self-titled country: the County of Cornwall!) All the way across the river, I've come. A whole mile and a half, in fact, from where I grew up, which to those Cornwallians that care (and they tend to live closest to Cornwall's borders) is worse than shipping here from Aberdeenshire! Trust me: that's Cornish logic for you.
Still, Pete's Cornish and his mummy and her mum and her mum and her mum and ... etc are all from the same wee Cornish village, so he's only half an emit! lol
Anyway, enough excuses: on with some work. I've spent the best part of this last month watching the crapometer on Miss Snark's blog. Too distracting!

Woo Hoo Hoooooooooooo
So, Miss Snark has finished round 2 of the Happy Hooker Crapometer, and she liked my first 750 words.
Woo Hoo.
So, now I know I have the ability to grab an agent's attention, assuming they are looking for new clients and are prepared to represent the specific genre and like my personal style, and the rest of my query letter is up to scratch! I also know that if that same agent reads the first couple of pages of my book, they might just grab a coffee and take my manuscript with them to see what happens on page 50!
Woo Hoo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Sorry, just super chuffed. I was getting all nervous and stuff.
Well, in other news, my tummy only aches slightly. I had such a rough night. Clearly, withdrawal from Trimadol is not a nice experience. I was restless, achey, my muscles had spasmodic episodes ... I had to sleep on the floor wrapped in a duvet, coz I was keeping Mrs B awake. My arthritis was killing me too and I couldn't do anything about it. I'm not even allowed any anti inflammatories now until the specialist has seen me. Poo.
Ah well, my story, it was liked :)
Yay.
Woo Hoo.

Ho hum
Tummy's still a little sore but much better. Have stopped taking the trimadol, thank fishes, and will be back on the codeine from 4pm! Woo hoo! The trimadol was starting to make me feel quite depressed, lethargic and disassociated. Plus it made my balance wobbly and not in a good way.
The doc was not very helpful. Just gave me my repeat prescriptions and sent me out the door. I get to see the specialist in 6 weeks so he can look at my feet and a proctologist, also in 6 weeks, so he can look up my ... well, you know!
Ew.
In other news, Miss Snark appeared to stop yesterday mid-stream. Maybe I'll be there this evening (or morning by New York times)? And maybe not. Did she forget mine? Did she just think it was so shit she couldn't possibly post in on her blog? Or is there some other explanation, there being so many you couldn't really shake a stick at them all!
lol
Dog save us from fishes, 'sall I'm sayin'.

Still waiting
I guess, being on the other side of the clock, that my 750 words will be in the last batch. Eep ... the nerves increase ever in their fray!
At least I've had a serious illness to distract my attention for a few days!
I feel quite a lot better now as the diclofenac appears to be leaving my system and my intestines are repairing themselves. I'm not enjoying the new meds as they make me very dissociated and drowsy. Even when Peter is crying it sounds like he's in another room.
In any case, I was able to give Mrs B a break this morning so she could have nearly an extra couple of hours nap. She's been so exhausted from looking after baby and me since Wednesday. Bless her.
I'm a very lucky husby bear indeed.

Cruthers
Well, I'm home again, after a brief spell in hospital. Had a bad reaction to my arthritis medication and spent a day with the morphine fairies. Then, trying to escape the clutches of the evil hospital peoples, had a hell of a time getting the doctor that said I could leave to do my discharge papers. I left by myself in the end and my mum went in to pick up my new medication and discharge papers later. Bless her.
Evil hospital peoples. And I missed Mrs B and baby bear sooooooooooo much. I'm very glad to be home, safe and sound.
Am now tremulously awaiting the snarkage for Heng. If anyone has followed my username link over here and fancy seeing how the first section plays out look here: http://rhease-linnell.blogspot.com/
Yowsa!

Bleary eyed again
At least this time Peter's having his morning nap already. He's already been sick on my arm, so the keyboard is safe for this morning!
He's being such a pain in the arse today. And we're going to take him swimming later this morning. Sheesh, ungrateful little baby! Lol.
To risk jumping on the Hunt for Ms Kelly bandwagon, bloody politicians. Bunch of lying, two faced, self-serving, manipulative, hoarding bastards.
And I should know. I was a committee clerk for local government too!
We're nearly out of coffee as well. So I'm drinking my third cup of tea this morning. And eating crispies.
Mmm, crispies.

Gruh the second
Ah, 'tis the end of the day and I have more barf of a baby-like nature spattered all over! And I had a job interview this afternoon. Blah - hard sales for a double glazing "we don't just do windows" company - yeah, bollocks. And bollocks to them. I'm not going to call everyone in the country asking them if they want bloody windows. It's stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Yars, anyways, I did get some wool and more needles so Mrs B and I can get going with our dual-knitting feat! I've already knitted Peter a scarf and it's very cute. Considering I hadn't knitted since I was, like, eight, it didn't turn out too bad. Next thing I'm going to make will be a draft excluder :) I might have finished it by next winter! Lol.
And yeargh: Miss Snark has paused for a week. Eep. She won't get to my pages till next weekend. Double eep. Triple eep. And I was already so nervous at what might be said. Still, it gives me another week to try to mature the thickness of my skin in preperation for the pointless, non-constructive negative comments that are bound to be tagged to it by well-meaning-I'm-sure people. After seeing how mean people have been to others whose work has been blogged, I won't be surprised if I find myself inundated with negative comments.
Bastards. Have a heart. We whose 750 words were requested at least managed to get to round two, so nyeh!
:p
prrrrrrrrrt!
