keep calm and carry on

One of those cold-calling marketing-type people rang up and wanted to talk about whether we had considered debt consolidation services. Mum told them to ring the US government.

In other news: It is one o'clock in the afternoon and I have run out of spoons. But I have been up since half seven and I have got stuff done. I went to the Apple store and waved my Macbook at them, I went to the bank and persuaded them to change thirty-two coins that are not legal tender, I went to News From Nowhere and lusted over feminist jurisprudence, I bought a dress for no reason except I liked it. Due to a combination of lack-of-spoons and the general failure of Liverpool-based washing-machine repair services, I did not get to see forthwritten.

In conclusion, still here. I am sorry for spamming you all, but I'm just doing that thing where it's one foot in front of the other, and my life isn't all that interesting.

You aren't spamming, you are simply finding a coping mechanism and that's a good thing :-)

The spoon analogy is brilliant, n'est ce pas?

Oh hey you! *waves*

Also, seconding the spoon analogy business. It's so entirely helpful. *squishes Raven* Wish we could lend spoons, though. Or borrow them from others.

Thanks. :) The spoons are indeed coming in very useful right now.

Hee! Well done your Mum!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*grins* It made me very happy.

Don't worry about not meeting me - I'll be around. Take care of yourself, I wish I could give you spoons, and thank you for uploading music.

Thanks v. much for yesterday - it really was soothing. :) :)

[forthwritten.livejournal.com]

I think I was doing a very good impression of a panicked wonky necked thing, but I am glad you found that soothing!

*more hugs* Also, your mother is sometimes awesome.

One foot in front of the other is fine. If I may stretch the metaphor (possibly on the rack), I think I'd say that I keep finding myself doing dance steps and I'm just waiting to fall over.

I am impressed by your bank-swaying abilities.

Yes! She sometimes is. And, yeah. One foot, in front of the other, over and over. It works.
