I suck at titles.

It was a month ago yesterday that my brother Andrew was stabbed. He's been home a little while now but is still struggling. Had a long chat with his girlfriend this morning who told me that he still gets quite a bit of pain from the actual wound and she's trying to get him to go get it checked out to make sure it's all healing properly internally. His leg is still not good and he's still having to use a crutch which obviously he's finding really frustrating. He gets tired quickly and if he tries to walk too much - which he knows he shouldn't - it hurts a lot. The GP was concerned with how many painkillers he's taking and has now prescribed him something to take every night which is supposed to basically numb all the nerves so he shouldn't feel anything. He's due to go have some regular physio at the hospital to try and get full strength and feeling back in his leg but he's still waiting for an appointment. And apparently the guy who stabbed him wasn't one of the ones originally arrested and was only picked up last week. He damn well better get charged and sentenced appropriately for what he did to Andrew and his friend. And again - thank you all so much for your kind words and support during that time, it really did mean a great deal to me =)

1. Been a bit low the last few days so I'm sorry for going a bit quiet again. Was going to call yesterday a draw in the Muppet Versus the Emo battle, but then I got a couple of emails that really made me smile and also spent frickin ages on the phone with [livejournal.com profile] purplella who is made of awesome and who I miss loads. She and [livejournal.com profile] surfer_buoy are still living the Good Life in their yurt in Devon and apparently [livejournal.com profile] surfer_buoy's ducks just laid their first eggs which made him extremely proud! *lol* If you're reading this SB, congratulations =)

2. I have a crossroads just a few steps outside my front door so have been thinking of making a demon deal. Obviously if you don't watch Supernatural you're 1) not understanding a damn thing I'm talking about here and 2) you're seriously deprived and why the hell aren't you watching it? Anyway - some obstacles to overcome ... 1) how to claw my way through the damn tarmac 2) how to not get run over whilst clawing my way through the damn tarmac and 3) what to do first with my naked Sammy Winchester once my wish is granted =) Now I know crossroads deals don't generally work out too well for the people who make them but I figured that as it's a 5-way crossroads instead of a 4-way, then maybe that means I get an extension period on the usual 10 years before I become Hell's bitch? Or maybe it means I get two wishes, in which case I'll ask for Chuck as my back-up plaything I think =)

And on that note I'll get back to work - or at least try to with images like that now flooding my brain! =D

*hugs all*

A whole two days off huh? I'll anticipate LJ spammage then!

*runs into middle of the crossroads with whistle, lollipop and fluorescent jacket*

LOL! You sound like Deb - she was pointing out today that we had all the equipment we need at work as they're doing some garden work at the moment so she's sure she can get her hands on a couple of flourescent jackets and a digging machine ;)

You have a wonderful couple of days off okay?

*heffa hugs*

ps. When you get back to work please smack everyone who isn't being helpful in altering the November rota for you okay? I realised today that I had a plan for the Saturday evening that now won't happen. Phbt.

Hee, that's if I have anything to talk about. I probably will, just randomly posting things I find on the internets.

PS I've been doing some serious bitch-slapping in my head, I can tell you. Is there a way we can do the plan for Saturday on the Friday night? I'm all excited and disappointed at the same time! *bitchslaps work*

Probably not really - but not to worry - it just conicided really nicely with your visit and I was going to surprise you with it when you arrived - but it doesn't matter =)

I love seeing someone using my icons cos they like them - thank you =)

*hugs*

Aww :( What was it, just out of interest?
Of course I like your icons! :D Especially this one, cuz it's all "Who... me?" hehe!

Hmm - maybe I'll email you and tell you - wasn't going to tell you till you arrived as 1) didn't want to make a big deal out if it 2) wasn't quite sure what was being arranged and 3) *whistles and runs away*

Aww but it's a big deal to meeeeeee :( *bitchslaps work even more* Gits.
