The Year of the Parasite
Here Kitty – come eat this offending insectAnd so it has been
Starting the year with a godawful infection that makes me more self-concious than anything in the world no matter what anyone says – that was enough to start me off
Then the false alarm with the burrowing bugs
Then a locust falling through my ceiling
And endless amounts of wasps (my sworn enemy) flying in my loft space recently
And now, for a change, my other half has decided that he may have brought some nasties back from cleaning up after the “great unwashed” – meaning I have to go hunt cracks and crevaces for vampiric crawlies and boil anything that may carry the spawn of any future generations.
I have the patience of a saint.
Work still sucks. My boss decided that she would take the morning off. Ian’s had this game before and I can’t be arsed with it happening all over again.
I’m not looking forward to my ensuing trip with her to London on Tuesday AND Thursday next week – so I shall make my own entertainment........anyone fancy giving me a decent job by next Monday?
......which doesn’t involve travelling anywhere in any shape or form
