Your Inner Child Is Sad
You're a very sensitive soul.
You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have.
Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone.
You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.
How Is Your Inner Child?

This is a little too accurate ..........

Oh well!

Not the happiest journal entry .......

  • Mood:
  • Music:
I just haven't seemed to be able to get myself together the last few days.  Everything has become so stressed!   I just couldn't get up the energy to write in here.  I suppose that is because I like posting more positive things here, angry is okay though, because I see that as actually doing something , but at the moment I just haven't got the impetus even to feel angry  ......  ..... hmmmm..... I must be a bit depressed...?

Actually, that's an understatement - the last couple of days I have been feeling 'what's the point' about everything.  And that's obviously not a good sign!

I think it's more than the 'money problms', which do not seem to be going away, no matter how hard we try and how many different things we do to 'make things okay'.  It just seems like everything is out to get us! Even my tooth has been playing up again and I have to go back for the dentist to have another go at the root canal in a few days time.

I feel like I'm falling apart!

Now, that's not the attitude meya - pull yourself together (you know it makes sense ..... yeah right ).  But I have to, if only for my partner and especially for my kids (it's not their fault after all).

If anyone bothers to check on my 'Tao Diary' you will see that I have been busy there .... if only to find something philosophical or even spiritual to help (but I'm not very 'spiritual' - more of a hard-nosed realist/cynic if anything, so one of those is limited from the start!).  It's all been very interesting and it has kept my head thinking.... but apart from slowly disappearing up my own backside with all the thinking and double-thinking, I'm not sure I'm really getting anywhere.  Passes the time though when I should be doing more 'constructive' things (I'm a bit fed up with being 'constructive' at the moment as everything we seem to do on that score turns to 'mush' before our eyes ).

I've just read back over this entry.  Doesn't read happy does it!

Back to trying to think 'positive' I guess ...............................

New Year Blues

  • Mood:
  • Music:
Well, I haven't been in here for a while.  Just couldn't think of anything to write about that I found interesting enough to bother with!  . And in any case, the news I have to tell is pretty depressing

The trouble is that we are still broke (no, worse than broke .... whatever that is we are it ).  It got to the stage a couple of days ago when we only had food for the children and dogs - nothing left for us!  And no money to come in in the forseable future (all money coming into our accounts is snagged by our banks to pay the overdrafts, direct debits, etc, etc...).

Now I am a resilient person.  I have been in this type of situation before and have found ways around it.  In fact I pride myself on always being able to find a way out of any sticky situation .  But this time I nearly gave up hope.  We had called in all loans we had made to anyone (it's funny how people react when you ask for your own money back isn't it? ).  We had cancelled all direct debits we were able to (sod the bills - we have to eat!).  And we had sold all CDs and DVDs we had to spare.  But nothing was left.

Then at last I had an idea.  We have a little money in a European bank account which my partner had put there in the vain hope that we would move abroad in the near future.  It isn't much, and it is supposed to stay there to keep the account open.  We are not supposed to be able to draw on this account from the UK, but we found a way , and we raided that.

What a relief to have some food in the cupboard again!

The trouble is, it won't last long, and my partner still hasn't found a job, despite his very best efforts and my work won't allow me back for at least another week.

But as for giving up smoking - well, we have had no choice!

(But it's surprising how good an old cigarette stub tastes when you are desperate ).

And I live in hopes that one of us will be working properly again soon.

No other choice but to hope really .......

Things have got to get better soon.  I found myself crying to 'Puff the Magic Dragon' today, and I usually can't stand the bloody song!

Now that is sad!

New Years Resolutions I can Handle

  • Mood:
  • Music:
Well .... I think I can handle these ..... 

1.  To sort out my head once and for all ..... hmmm.... maybe not so easy ....

2.  To give up smoking ...... no..... I'll cut down.  and I know that cutting down isn't supposed to work, but I did it before (okay, so I gave up cutting down when things got bad, but it's worth another try......) and this way I shouldn't put on weight from eating extra food and sweets to compensate for the fags - I hope!

3.  Do some kind of exercise program.  My job is quite energetic, so I don't need to diet to slim down (fingers crossed - I haven't given up smoking yet ... ), but I do need to tone up ...... just need to find the time ..... and the energy ......

4.  Eat healthier.  Okay, I eat reasonably healthy now .... but I chew too much gum and eat too many sweets (if I don't I feel faint when I work long shifts without a break - I can't exactly stop for a salad in the middle of a medical procedure!).  But I must alter my eating habits somehow .... if only to save my teeth!

5.  Take our dogs out for a walk more often - even when it's freezing - they need more exercise and so do I ......

6.  Be a better mother (although I do try already .... honestly!)

7.  Be a better partner - I suppose that means be more supportive (and not bitch?).... must try harder!

8.  Be a better daughter.  My mum has got over her pre-Christmas illness, but she is still a little fragile, so she does need more of my time ....... and we don't fight that much when we are together .... do we ....?

Hmmmmm ........ perhaps these are do-able ......I hope!

Images of Space

  • Mood:
  • Music:
I've been a bit busy today and am just going to watch some TV before I go to bed (you never know, there may even be something good on ).  But I have been trawling the internet for the past half hour, as I tend to do to relax, and I found some great pictures of Space.

Now, those who know me would say I am spaced out enough sometimes without looking at photos about it , but I found such beautiful pictures I thought I would share a couple with anyone here who happens to be passing by ....

 
This one is a Horsehead Nebula:

And this one is the 'Witches broom' Veil Nebula:

I've downloaded a few images from 'Space Sites' and posted them at Photobucket (and when I have nothing much to say I will probably post a few more here ). The images have been taken from Space Telescopes including the ‘Hubble’, the WIYN 0.9-m, and the Mayall 4-m.

Loads of them can be found here: skyimagelab , just in case anyone else here wants to take a look. And I've posted some more pictures also to my other picture album here: Meyas-Space-Images

I find them fascinating!
