Nor was yesterday, if I'm honest. I woke up with a tummy ache that over the course of the day kept growing worse and worse to the point where I doubled over in pain and lay clutching at my belly until sleep mercifully descended on me. Unfortunately, this morning it was still there, though slightly less bad. Aspirin has no effect so I'll just have to ride it out. This is the third time this year this has happened, and I wonder what the cause may be. It can't be anything I ate, as all I've had in the last 48 hours is a bowl of yoghurt (well within its Sell By and Best Before dates), and my last square meal on Saturday consisted of some grilled vegetables and horsemeat (yes, horsemeat). I'm not constipated, and apart from feeling like there's several sharp-angled objects rolling around in my gut, I'm fine...though obviously, much preoccupied with and rather distracted by this strange sensation.
Also, when after several days of toying with the idea, I finally make up my mind to apply on-line for a job here in The Hague, I find that I can't complete the application form as an error occurs every time I try to attach my cv. And when I go for the second option and type it all out again, it won't save. No, today's definitely not a good day...
...but I managed to set up the DVD-player no problem!

I hope it isn't that, though, and get well soon (misfortunes do keep heaping up, don't they?)

Tell me about it! I've got to go back to work soon...;-)
Colonoscopy? No way!
I've had a headache all day, which was a bit of a pain as I decided to take myself to the British Museum for my day off. I couldn't be bothered to see the soldiers though.
Poor horsie.
Sorry to hear about the headache casting a pall over your day -- hope it buggers off soon, too!
I watched that horsie come last in the 6.25 at Kempton!
Sending tummy calming vibes - aloe vera etc, and hoping the computer/internet etc. starts to behave properly. Everything should pull together to help you change your job!
Wow. Applying for a job at the Hague sounds exciting!

Not really: it's for the same kind of position I currently hold at HP. But it would mean I could get to work in 10 minutes rather than the 2 hours it takes me at the moment.
BTW, I'm glad you tagged your Joost posts. I had missed the first several posts. He's a real fighter!--an admirable person. I hope all goes well for him and his family.
You've had a terrible year, my dear.
...but perhaps I shouldn't say that seeing as how yours hasn't been a bed of roses either...
However, when I stop to think about my situation, it pales in significance compared to the struggle that Joost and Nicole go through every day. I have the utmost respect and admiration for how they handle it, how with quiet strength, dignity, and faith they're not afraid to face the stark reality of their situation.
I think that it's because chronic illness is like a roller coaster: you just have to ride it until you get off. Of course, some scream while riding...
