Thank god that's over

Project gone. Bye bye project. I am glad to be free of you. It's not your fault, but for something meant to be pleasurable, you really drove me nuts. Go away now.

I have had a glass of Twinings Jasmine/Green tea this morning. And I have brought it right back up again, cue headache, dizziness and all the rest. All right, caffeine, I'm coming back, OK? That'll teach me to ever leave your hot evil java scented love again.

To add to my general sense of bleah, I got news which I thought would please my mother; The hospital has brought my mole appointment forward from what they claim was the 2nd December (in fact, 28th October but who reads paperwork?) to 14th October. My mother, on hearing this, instantly gave me dozens of instructions. I am apparently meant to check the hospital's status on 'The League for MRSA.' MRSA seems to be some supervirus lurking in dirty hospitals. I didn't know they had leagues for this kind of thing. 5000 people die a year, claims my mother with a kind of dolorous glee. It's like being diagnosed by Eeyore.

My god, I feel rough. Best go sort this out. See you later LJ.

Beauty

To get over my alarming reaction to green tea, I went for a walk (obviously once I had mastered the art of leaving the bathroom). I went to that pet shop. They have the most beautiful tarantula ever.

Now, I do not like spiders. One bit. I can see the elegance of black widows and uruguay blacks, but the big shaggy ones? Urgh! And the way every spider creeps and scuttles about, fast or slow? Double urgh!

But she is without a doubt stunning. She's called a fireleg or a bloodleg or something equally forgettable. I stared at her for ages. Her markings are lovely, orange and black, and I could see what looked like an eye, or a tiny pair of eyes at the top of her head. like a drop of jet shining. I could not avoid the fact that she was lovely, alien but ugly only to an utter dullard. I got closer to the glass than I ever have with exotic spiders...closer than I care to get with any spider. She was truly a wonder.

Hmmm. Maybe she needs rescuing...
