Ugh. Again, ugh.

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Caitlin

So it’s Wednesday again and I’m missing group therapy AGAIN.  Last week I had a migraine; this week I woke up with a vile tummy ache and wrenched shoulder and misery.  Not sure what’s going on but I am CROOK. … Continue reading →

Depressed, broke, and not much to say….

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Caitlin

I’m not feeling very well. The black dog has got me in its teeth at the moment, and I’m finding it hard to do much more than sleep and eat. I’m too broke to buy a birthday present for my … Continue reading →

Ummm, nope…

Posted on November 9, 2011 by Caitlin

So I didn’t get to group therapy today after all.  Mr Beloved has been sick for the past week with The Dreaded Lurgey, and as is the way with such things, now I have it too. Luckily, I’d already booked … Continue reading →
