A certain someone (Ro) woke me up this morning!



Still, it's a good excuse to return back to bed with a book as the weather is a bit horrid.

This pic has been very popular of late! It was my homage to 1970's punk portraits.

Wednesday!

I have a compliance/site visit tomorrow and an early finish on Friday!

Hoorah!

Linda still hasn't done the housework yet ;)



Maybe I should "punish" her by making her wear the maid's outfit ;p

Daily Photo #1219

I've been housebound and told to stay in bed due to migraine and swollen gland thing.



Linda has been giving me stern looks which haven't helped me recover but made me laugh. She doesn't "do" stern that well in real life.

Today was lost to a migraine, I shall be back tomorrow.

Bumped into the ever lovely Bunny Bissoux at the Brum zine fest!



She is as awesome as ever! I couldn't stick around too long as my fear of crowds has been terrible of late but it was lovely to say hi! :)

Wednesday. Half way through the week.



I want beer! (Actually, I have some in the fridge but Linda isn't home as yet to share a cold frosty glass of Budweiser).

Back at work. It was like I never left. Three weeks of rest out the window. Woosh.



Lots of window gazing but sadly Linda and the cats weren't there to keep me amused.

So, today has consisted of more sleep (yay!) and a breakfast of Greek style yogurt with passion fruit. I am so rock and roll.

Still, who needs to exert oneself when one can be lazy to the extreme.

Anyhoo, I spy a cat who wants to be fed and is currently eyeing up the remains of my yogurt.



Jog on kitty!

Sundays! I have mixed feelings about them. I still have one day's worth of leave before I return to work on Tuesday but I really don't want to spend it sleeping *again*

So tomorrow may be some macro shots using my light box and external lighting set or cooking something.



I'm not sure but hey, that is what vacation time is for...

NY at dusk.



Still getting my GMT/jetlag legs back. Went into the city today and it was heaving with people. Not good. Nice to be back at home.

Jeez, I didn't realise it was that time already. After sleeping for 16 hours (a double whammy combo of flu+ jetlag) I totally ignored the ping on my blackberry to tell me it's time to return.

Picture below, Linda NYC 2011.



So, a return to blogging.

I was kind of hoping the time would give me something to talk about but alas, profundity is not my middle name right now. OK, so a quick round up of events:

I'm still case working but doing some different stuff right now, working on conflict resolution and fraud detection. Challenging in a different way.

Been to NYC - I didn't shoot anything apart from some shots of Linda this time around. This doesn't mean I have hung up the camera, quite the opposite but I did need me time and some moments where I didn't need to think. I concentrated upon feeding my mind as opposed to feeding the lens.

My anti depressant regime - I had an instance of depression in November/December last year that saw my meds doubled. I went from 20mg to 40mg on my SSRI dosage. This had some good effects but some bad effects too. During June I have gone back down to 20mg (under direction from my physician) and I am starting to feel a little more like me again. Life is much more on an even keel and it has given me the space to think about life/what I am doing a little more logically. Essentially, I am functioning much better although it has made me think that over the past 25 or so years what "normal" actually is but that's another story.

In other words, I feel much more like what I "should" be.

So, I'm back and I hope this post was a good icebreaker.

So it's time for my annual hiatus.

See you all on 1st July 2011.

Laters!

Overslept today so it's all be a bit rush here and rush there!



Unlike the cat who has probably been napping for most of it.

Day has been filled with "teh stupid" (you cannot believe how much it pained me to type that, but in this case it was true). Observation about human behaviour - repeating something in the negative will not change fact, no matter how hard you try.

So...here's a photo of my cat. A brain the size of a walnut yet...



...she is still more clever than a number of people that I work with.

Blerg! Poorly tummy and associated affects including an awful headache due to dehdraytion. Too busy a time of late and something I ate did not agree with me.

Bah!



On the plus side, back to work tomorrow but until then, the cat will watch over me.

We haven't been to Kenilworth for ages!

Spent the morning jetting around with Linda in her car :)

Saw lots of fields, country and topped it off with a pint in a beer garden! Result. Now cooking a late lunch/early dinner.



Blue skies all the way, but I am partial to a bit of sepia (although this was not taken in Spring, it feels very fresh).

Monday! Hah!



Something good to start the week with. I think I could have used Linda in her "7 of 9" mode today. She gets all assertive in that outfit and am sure that having Linda at meetings would have kicked ass today.
