Silver linings

Yesterday I had one of those accidents that means one gets absolutely no sympathy at all. I was unloading a shopping trolley in Iceland and half turned and bent to pick up a multipack of Wotsits *facepalm* and put my back out! Wotsits! If it had been a frozen chicken or a bottle of Famous Grouse it would be much less undignified.

So today I'm creeping around like an Igor with no socks on because I can't reach to put them on. After an adventure with the fridge I've given up on my normal Saturday activities of housework and am going to write! for definite! Later today I will post a snippet!

Also a great big happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] clarelondon! She is hosting a free fiction day on her blo with lots of fabulous links to free fiction all over the web! There's a bit from me too, a prequel to the bit I did last year. Happy birthday, Clare. *hugs* I hope you have a fabulous day.

good heavens, girl-- get one of those able-bodied, ungrateful nearest-and-dearest in your house to put socks on your feet for you! Never mind undignified-- I'll bet you weren't going to eat those groceries all yourself. WHINE!! Demand loving attention! Make them go to the shop next time!

rest, ice, ibuprofin, Famous Grouse.... and writing. XXX

I whined. Jen is cooking dinner and brought me a nice hot wheat pad! I feel all loved now.

Poor you! I hope you recover soon. Can't anybody help you with your socks?

Thanks babes. I'm wearing Croc Mammoths! They are nice and warm and I'm hanging round close to the fire! :D I've done this before and it wears off after a while. It's just flaming inconvenient.

Don't know what Wotsits are. I infer that they are delicious undignified junk food. Are they like Ring-dings?

I hope your back is much better soon.

They are rather nice, actually, but yeah, undignified junk food :D

Thanks for the well wishes.

Mmm, Wotsits, worth every twinge. Do be more careful in future my dear. Lol. Hope you're better soon.

:) so do I, but I'm quite enjoying getting my daughter to do stuff for me. It doesn't happen often.
