My postie is psychic.

See, Dyce told me last week she'd mailed a copy of the LotR soundtrack down to me, on the Friday to be exact. So I knew it was coming. Only it didn't show up Monday, because it was a public holiday, or Tuesday, which was yesterday. And today I had one of the longest court days I can remember having for a while (I left the building at 5.35, after sitting 10-1.15, 2-5.15) and I was tired and not looking forward to being home with BRM having had his first day of teaching kids today and him having been in a foul mood this morning, and I hadn't gotten much of a lunch hour due to having to take the banking into the bank and go to the post office to pick up the mail since Paula was away sick today... Anyway, my mood wasn't exactly perky when I got home, and what should I find wedged under the doormat but a CD postpack, from Queensland?

So, my postie is psychic. That's all there is to it.

Actually, I don't feel as tired as I should, considering the very long day, the broken night's sleep (I was cramping pretty much all night) and the fact I'm on the first (and usually worst) day of my period. I should be wiped. But I'm surprisingly alert, although that might be due to the can of Coke I just had (yes, I'm finding that particular habit very hard to kick, which is another black mark against my greenie sensibilities, supporting the Great Evil that is Coca-Cola Amatil. That and my Nike pants. *hides*). In a bit I'll go and poke around in the fridge and see what's edible for dinner - another salad-y thing, I think, since it's stinking hot yet again. *sighs* That's the worst thing about summers up here, it gets so hot you don't want to even think about food, but you know if you don't eat you'll feel like shit later. And you get very, very tired of salad.

Oh, and I worked out the custom friends list thingie last night, which was kinda cool. I hadn't bothered to sit down and play with it before, and I managed to get my overblown list under some form of control - LJs I must read, ones I can skip every couple of days, and those that I can read once in a blue moon because the owners don't post much at all. Means I spend a bit less time on the whole LJ thing. More time for writing - the bug's starting to nibble at me again, which is great since I've felt too blah to even contemplate writing anything except stuff I have to. Just need some quiet time to myself - I really wish I could fit my desk in my room. As it is I'm stuck in the lounge room, which is public area, or have to balance the lap top on my knees, which isn't comfortable in this kind of weather, considering how hot the bottom of this thing can get. :P I'll settle for plugging in the headphones on the Book and cranking up the volume until I can't hear anything else but wonderful, wonderful music that Dyce sent me because she is such a lovely kind friend. :)

So guess who else is having their period this week? No cramps, but then again, I rarely get cramps anyway. ^_^

*hugs*

Here's hoping the crampkiller faerie comes by your house soon. :)

I realize that as the so-far sole male responding to this, I'm probably opening myself up all sorts of angry 'how dare you not suffer like we are' remarks, but still... I've lived with two women. I know how bad it can get. I'll just have to send you a few trans-atlantic hugs. :) But I'm glad to hear that it's not quite as bad as usual.

I warned you that I'd deluge you with email, didn't I? (EG)

Aww, shucks... *snugs* I'm glad it got there at a good time, and I hope your cramps get better soon.
