More crap from the universe

[vilakins]

Good: The driveway is half done. They're meant to finish it today.

Bad: It's raining.

Also bad: And because the barometer said fine (and it was at 7am) I don't have a raincoat. Frell. I hate rain.

Really bad: I have no internet at home and it's Friday. So don't be surprised if I'm off line for a few days. astrogirl2, I will post a topic from work before I leave. It will be 'bad luck'. Surprise, surprise.

More bad: I couldn't get a lens in my left eye yesterday because as soon as I did, it went blurry. In desperation, I took the bastard out at work and left it out. Inspection showed little white bits on it. So I took it home and thoroughly cleaned it with the approved solutions and checked it. It still had little white bits on it.

Good: It's still under warranty.

Bad: My optometrist is on holiday.

Good: Another guy can see me tomorrow (Saturday).

Bad: And don't tell me never mind, it's almost the weekend. Sod the weekend. It will be full of cleaning and tidying. I am not one of nature's housewives. I'm a desperate one though.

Not sure yet: Oh and there will be an election. If National get in, that will just top it all off.

Bad: And there's a severe storm warning for Sunday. Have I mentioned how much I hate rain?

Once again I will not describe the disastrous new system at work except to say that I'm typing this because it's frelling down. [tears at hair]

The icon so, so tells the truth. :) *hugs* Hope it gets better for ya.

Oh, and the topic made me laugh, I must admit. Far too perfect. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Must post that now. Off home shortly, but who knows whether I'm still incommunicado there or not. :-(

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. The internet will still be here when you get back. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm home and it's OK! Our ISP had a major problem but their website said it was fixed a few hours ago. So that's one good thing!

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Hurrah for internet service! (Now don't let it distract you too much from the tidying.) Wish I could help you with the cleaning, but from here I can only send up prayers for a successful weekend - that much I promise to do.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-) Brrrr, it's cold and windy and I'm off to bed.

No, don't let the tidying distract you too much from the Internet.

[grin] I shall reward myself with online time.

Thanks. And to you too, with your cold.

[kerr-avon.livejournal.com]

Sorry it's been so 4th season for you lately. :^(

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

LOL! I hope there aren't any troopers out to get me.

[kerr-avon.livejournal.com]

They lost your trail when the new driveway was done. :^) I've cunningly misdirected them to Servalan's summer palace.

[imhilien.livejournal.com]

There's nothing worse than when everything goes wrong at once - I hope things improve for you...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Me too. Well, the driveway's finished (though we can't use it yet) and I have the interweb back. Two good things! Now to book that plumber again...

[trixieleitz]

I hear ya on the housework. The last time I got the vaccuum cleaner out was just before my mother visited.

Actually, the place is starting to look a bit grotty again. Hmm.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Luckily Greg does the vacuuming (he likes our Dyson and we need to vacuum once a week or so with three cats) but I still have to do most of the rest. And yeah, we usually only make a real effort only when we're going to have visitors. :-P

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

There comes a point when I start wishing for visitors, cos that's the only time I make an effort as well.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I'm not alone.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Hope existence of internet is start of upward trend. Good luck.

The driveway's finished despite the weather, so it might be. I'll relax when the taps are fixed.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

Aaaargh. *Squeeeeeeeeeezes*

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

[hugs back]

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Aaargh! It's not fair!

*hugs you*

I'm glad that a couple of the things are sorted by now; good luck with the optometrist on Saturday.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm off there in an hour or so. I suppose they'll keep my new lenses and I'll have to wear the ones that put pressure on my corneas till they polish or replace the others. :-(

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

*hugs madly*

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

[hugs back] I'm about half-way there. The driveway's done but the plumber hasn't been (we have 5 days to go) but then again the house is tidier (Greg's cleared away a lot of his junk). Heaps more to do though, but if I get most of it done today, I can do a bit more every evening.

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Only way to tackle it, I guess.
