I had thought to write a pithy, yet witty, thing about my birthday, which was last week. (thank you). However, Procrastination being the thief of time means that I'm sitting shivering on the sofa with a hanky stuffed up each nostril being glared at by the cat and writing this instead. During this time of illness and suffering, Psychkitty has appointed herself my lookerafterer. She makes sure I go to bed, with frequent fluid intake (cups of tea, with teaspoons of milk for the nursemaid of course) and if I do have to sit up, I'm kept warm with my own furry hot-water bottle. She is now annoyed that I'm typing this instead of being in bed.
What happened to the old fashioned 3 day colds? Now everything seems to be an evil influenza type virus necessitating a complete shutdown for a couple of days. I had stopped taking the vitamin tabs, so I suppose the Tories would say it was self inflicted and should stop my luxury hot orange juice. Hopefully I'll be back on form tomorrow, though more like Friday, when life can resume and I can start of the business plan for the art gallery....

Week in summary
This last week has not been the most eventful, action-packed week of my life. It has been heavy, grey and boring, much like the sky. Though, of course, in the immortal words of someone or another, it's all in the attitude.
There have been a few highlights, however.
The "Just a tad Worrying" happening - that goes to Psychokitty, who trotted downstair, lined up and looked at her grey fluffy mouse, her black fluffy ex-mouse and the clear plastic innards of ex-mouse, picked up the grey mouse, trotted back upstairs, came down, ate and went upstairs and started to play with the toy. This was a worryingly large amount of thought for a small cat. Maybe they could take over the world?
The Most Exciting happening - I collected the last stamp and got a free cup of coffee on my way to the voluntary job at the Second Hand Shop. Yippee, a free small latte....
Most in need of faith happening - Graham doesn't have much work on at the moment. Hopefully there is a January/February slump, just as there is in the UK. Still, it gives opportunity to demonstrate a large amount of faith and it did drive me to apply for 3 whole jobs. Yes, three.
Most suspenseful happening - Three jobs? you say, "gosh, Karin, what were they?" errhh, some sort of admin things, I think. I'm afraid that I think that I'm caught in the too qualified, but hasn't got the language skill for long reports trap. That, and I haven't worked out the Arbetesformedling's website yet....... Oh well, I'll just have to google "starting an art gallery in your woodshed". I bet someone's already done it!
Anyway, now I'm waiting for no response.
Apart from that, we've had 15cm snow, it's snowing now. The sun has come out 3 times. I've made a Mississippi Mud Pie. And that's the Week that Was.
