Why am I scared of a puppy?

Why am I so bothered by a Puppy? We have brought up two kids to adulthood ( reasonably successfully), yet it's like starting again with a baby. But without the poo catching advantages of a nappy.

Don't get me wrong, love Dougal to bits, but I haven't got a clue what to do with him. I'm not the dog person in the house. CATHY has had a dog about her since she was little ( with a break to find an allergy free breed type) so seems quite comfortable with the little fella.
Me?
Lost and confused for the most part. I know it will get better, but still!!

Have already posted of the TV choice for me this evening.



Don't you just love dead bodies staked and decapitated to stop them rising from the grave. Shakespeare plays with dead bodies bleeding. And not a zombie in sight ( apparently these are a recent incarnation )



Maybe it appeals to my more macabre side, but I have Tony Robinson informing me how our ancestors would deal with the dead/undead to protect those who were still alive. And all this is on before 9 o'clock .

And now he's drifting into the symbolism of ceremonial cannibalism . The sick taking the power of the soul of the recently deceased

Nice! http://amplify.com/u/a1j1ag

Am sat here, thinking that I ought to finish the hoovering, but you find me typing on my pad.



It just occurred to me that something that I have just done could be fraught with danger. Without thinking, I once again signed up for a website / web service. Nothing really in that statement that should be that worrying. Thousands ( Millions?) of people do such things every hour of every day.



What occurred to me is, instead of going through the whole, enter email, enter username, enter password, i just went ahead and used the " log in with Twitter " or the " Login with Facebook " options. I just had that thought of , what if this site misuses this log, just think of all the other sites that could be effected.



It was just a thought - back to the hoovering http://amplify.com/u/a1ilwz

It's Friday

Eek ... Time I was loading the van, and was login on to get a job.
See you all later, and have a good, safe Fridayemail

Doesn't time fly?

Haven't really done a journal entry for a day of to now.
Nothing really that much to say to be honest.

Had a good session at Archery last night, although i now have a couple of additional jobs to finish as i have to send photos to the BT Champions people, sort out a couple of new starters detail. On top of that I need to research the possibility of using some of the Archery Photo's and a written piece for the local newspaper - if they are interested.

Well, after being sat for quite a while, the bloke on the help desk has answered.
Guess I'd better get back to work.

Well all this is normal for us, least ways. There is a list of chores as long as your arm, and barley a handful will get gone - as usual. There is at least one of us dying with some form of plague or contagion . There are numerous " technicial " tasks that need doing. Computers that need scanning. Emails that need following up and the like.

There are numerous people that we should go and say hello to.

And yet, I know that today will involve some shopping, some taxi service, and an awful lot of ironing.

NICE! http://amplify.com/u/a1ht7w

Manilow syndrome

Da da, da da da " Her name was Lola, she was a show girl. With yellow feathers in her hair, and a dress cut down to there"
Arrrghh I have woken up, after a disturbed night, not only thinking, but badly singing ( to yourself) the whole of a Barry Manilow tune.
Someone help me - please
Morning allemail

Have been strangely fascinated by this story this morning. And now have to say I am now slightly grinning to myself.

I am watching the BBC Breakfast program and they have just had their resident Doctor on.

Apparently, the use of a lollipop to try and give your child Chicken Pox is pointless, for a number of reasons. However, the handling of an infected child is possibly far more dangerous to the Adult trying to give the child the infection.

Natural Justice ??? http://amplify.com/u/a1hl9x

Have just noticed that my last posting is marked "Posted by iPad" How's that work?

It, and this post, were both entered on an Android Tablet - other posts even reflect this?

Am not going to stress about, but it is one of those little irritants that can sometimes annoy you. http://amplify.com/u/a1hl4m

For the third day in a row, I am up and drinking coffee @ 5 in the morning. I know this isn't that early for some, and an unthinkable hour to others. I suspect this is a body clock issue, with BST time alteration only happening a couple of short weeks ago.

But I don't need it.

What I do need is sleep but is suspect I will probably be caught up in the concept of " early to bed, early to rise". Never mind, at least it's Friday - its the WEEKEND!!!

Have a good safe day everyone. http://amplify.com/u/a1hl3v

Tuesday Night

Feeling Especially Mardy tonight.

I know this sounds whingy, but there you are.
It hasn't been a particularly good day, and getting home hasn't overly helped, from a certain point of view.
Feel like I'm the gopher, with little, or no help from anyone else( which probably isn't
true, but thats how it feels at the mo.)Whatever I've tried to do has failed. It is just one of those " stuff it" moments.

Sorry to be so negative , but it is what it is.

According to some people, being confused is the normal state of mind for me. But, as I sit here, eyes just realising that they have to work soon, I have to go to work, it has just occurred to me that I am always in a hurry at this time in the morning.



I will elaborate . Certain member in our family ( as in everyone else) seem to be able to get up , seemingly, 5 minutes before going to work. Get dressed, eat and leave in a flurry of activity. But I have never been able to do this. I have to give myself some time to wake and settle before I go.



But, as work time come closer, I am always in a rush. Never calm. Always flustered.



So why get up early and give myself the time, when I always end up rushing?? http://amplify.com/u/a1h6bp

Morning!! I thought I'd gone blind, until I realised it was just my eyes weren't working. They refuse to wake up this early http://amplify.com/u/a1h6ay

Monday 7th November

Morning All, and welcome to another work week. I despair - even though I've turned every,and all, notification setting off that I can find on my Blackberry, I have still woken up to 25 notifications !! What the hell do I have to do? Mind you, if this is all i have to worry about then things ain't that bad. Have a gods, safe day everyoneemail

A diary

Have been sat, over the last few days pondering. For some strange reason I have come to the conclusion that I need some form of Diary or Journal app for my tablet.

This really is strange as, when I have ever had a paper one it was only ever used for events to come, never to record my thoughts and life after it had occurred. To be honest, these days appointments are kept in line using my BlackBerry and my Google Calendar account.

Is it an age thing (I can picture the answers to that question are winging my way already)?

Or is it just some minor form of entertainment - something small thing to do until something else comes along.
We'll see.

Bonfire night

Tonight is rather an odd on for me.

It is the first time in many many years that I haven't been the one daft enough to be letting off fireworks.

In fact we haven't even purchased any fireworks this year.
Am I missing the experience ?
No,not really . But it does feel like something is missing

I know I'm not built like Arny. I know, from a certain point of view, I could look like a Webble. But am really feeling sorry for myself at this precise point in time. I know it will pass (I hope it will Pass) and I know it is big time whingy. But you can't help how you feel.

At least its bedtime, and sleep, a good long sleep,normally helps. http://amplify.com/u/a1gewd
