Hello my lovelies,

Happy new year to everyone – I hope you all got through Christmas and other seasonal festivities utterly unscathed? I am more or less in one piece but have had a period of utter toxicity and have been detoxing furiously all week…

Back to work was on Monday and my god I could have cried. Just the utter culture shock of having to get UP, and not wear my jimjams all day. The office was freezing cold all day and by lunchtime I thought my head was going to drop off. My neck and back were in agony, clearly from spending the last fortnight lying down most of the time and thus causing the muscles that hold my head up to waste away… the week got slowly better though, and the weirdest thing is I’ve been HAPPY all week. Actually HAPPY – not fair to middling, not ok, not ah I’ve been worse, actually factually HAPPY. Its very odd indeed but I have to say its fan-tabby-tastic! Now I’m just worried that at some point I’ll crash back to being slightly morose me, and then it’ll seem all the worse for having had the massive high beforehand. But while it lasts, I am LOVING being the happiest girl there ever was.

There is no actual reason for this random happiness either – no illicit snogs, no marvellous goes at The Sex, nothing. Just happy. How odd.

I’m also very pleased to say that there is utterly no weirdness between Guitar Boy and I at work. And thank god, because that could SO easily have gone the other way, causing weirdness in the workplace, hideous feelings and awkwardness all round. But no. None of that – normal service has been resumed, so we’re back to chatting, laughing, flirting and general tossing of insults and vile hand gestures. Hooray for sensible boys you can be friends with. I still think he’s really hot and totally out of my league, but he’s waaay too young for me and has a girlfriend, not to mention being slightly happy about himself but then that’s 19 year olds for you isn’t it?

In other news I have returned to fat class. My gargantuan mass could remain unfettered no longer… I was beginning to exert my own gravitational pull and things were starting to orbit me, and a lot of my clothes had mysteriously shrunk. So now I am ‘eating sensibly’ in the hope of losing about 2 stone by this evening…..

This evening Miss HCH and myself are off to a rock night in The City. I am very excited about this because I never get the opportunity to go to clubs playing the sort of music I like around here. And there maybe boys there – Boys I Don’t Know. Woo hoo!! Longhairs too! How exciting!!

So watch this space - its gonna be a fun fab month, which if its an indication of the year ahead, means 2009 is going to rock my socks!!!

Love ya!
Axx
