Yesterday, I sat on the sofa feeling depressed, watching movies* and knitting. I also may have eaten two of every meal [breakfast wasn't just a cereal bar it was also a bagel! lunch wasn't just toast and eggs it was crisps and dip too!].

* Pretty in Pink, Lost Boys, That Thing You Do and Thelma & Louise. These are on video tapes and I was watching them to see if I wanted to keep them. I got rid of them all. I might have kept T&L but the quality of the recording was poor [covered in stripes it was]. Plus it can be heavy going and I prefer films that make me happy. My project is almost complete though, only four more tapes and one DVD to go.

I’ve had three balls of yarn sitting around for several years. I’ve now knitted the little starter piece Mal gave me, and I’m 1/4 of the way through the third ball. People have asked what I’m knitting and Weasel suggested I was knitting an amusing distraction. So now I know what I’m knitting.

Today I made myself put in my contacts, put on make-up and get dressed – and stay dressed. I’ve made it four hours so far and I’ve only had to stop myself going upstairs to change twice. This is progress!

Granted I had to go to my hearing aid appointment so that helped get me started.

They did everything I wanted. Now I just have to buy my domestic loop for band practice.

Money has become annoying lately. I want to get the aerial fixed so we can have TV again, I want to buy this domestic loop so I can sing and hear other things, I want a new telephone for my deaf self, I want to buy Eddie Izzard tickets. I’m in the fan club so to speak so I have access to a pre-sale today. It’ll be £121 for me, Weasel and Doodle.

Well, while I was typing Doodle called and accepted the invite so I’ve bought the tickets. Yay for Eddie Izzard! We’re the second-to-last tour date at the moment so he will be on excellent form. We last saw him for the Sexie tour and the show we saw was 10x better than the DVD version. Excited.

We ran out of spicy cheese and I felt silly going to the store just to buy cheese [what?]. Weasel told me that she needs more yoghurt though so I’m saved! I can buy cheese. Oh how I love the cheese. Cheese makes everything better.
