I seem to have an impossibly large appetite at the moment. I was off work the last two days and couldn't stop eating crisps. While I'm sure being at home alone had something to do with that, I was hungry by 11am this morning and wishing I was back home with my bags and bags of Walkers. On the way home I was feeling hungry and so while I was buying tonight's dinner I bought myself some Snack-a-Jacks, figuring that they are at least slightly healthy. I've already eaten about four and I'm not even that keen on Snack-a-Jacks. I should probably take them downstairs and hide them away in the kitchen. The problem is that, now I'm officially on holiday, I might carry on with this terrible snacking routine. I don't want to put on the little weight I've lost over the last few months.

On Monday morning I decided that it might be a good idea to take part in NaNoWriMo after I had a dream that I thought would make a really good story. I'm over a thousand words in and using avoidance tactics to write the next bit. It's a love story about geeky scientists set in a slightly futuristic world. So really only suitable for girly geeks. I'll hopefully be posting it on my website, but I need to sort out the pages first and writing takes precedence.

I'm looking forward to having the time off, although I've had loads off recently. None of that time off was for relaxing, it was for doing (or rather, waiting for others to do). This time Rat and I will get to do what we want when we want. And with broadband we can actually do things during the day that don't involve going out of the house! I've actually got some "work" to do - some website stuff that I'm being paid to do in addition to real work, and some real work CMS/Wikipedia stuff that should be quite fun. I figure even with NaNo and the work "book club" that I should be getting the book for next week, and with cinema and day trips, I should still have plenty of time for this sort of stuff. Especially when I visit home. But I suppose I should do some household chores too. Hell, the first priority of the holiday is to restock the freezer!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. It'll be my first appointment at the new surgery so it's pretty scary. I've just got to sort out my Depo for the end of the month, and I'll probably show off my lovely verucca's since I've not found anything shop-bought to work yet. I'm terrified! What if it's a nasty doctor. What if s/he doesn't approve of Depo. What if, what if, what if? I don't deal with change that well.

I managed to get Radio 2 streaming on my computer just now. This makes me happy. I got bored though so I think I'll put a CD on now. I had awful fun trying to get CDs to work yesterday. None of my several million music players wanted to work. I managed it eventually. I've been introduced to Last.fm and so want to "improve" my profile. It's just a shame that I can't actually get the Last.fm player working on my machine.
