Life: A medical condition, by Alasdair Cross
Restless leg syndrome, social anxiety disorder, female sexual dysfunction, celebrity worship syndrome – it seems that a new illness is invented every week, covering every potential quirk in human behaviour. Is the human condition becoming a medical condition?
Ten per cent of British children are regarded as having a clinically [...]
This week I have had a couple of strange dreams.
In the first, I looked at my left arm, and I had a red lump as though i’d been stung by something at my wrist. It swelled up and got bigger during the dream, and turned from a red lump into a fluid filled sac. As [...]
This morning things much better on planet SSG. A bit of a rant yesterday let off some steam and then today it’s glorious sunshine and me and MrC are off out for dinner tonight.
It was also great fun last night- beautiful, beautiful food from MrC- two types of sausages, yellow mash, caramelised onions, red [...]
So…. today I have been at work in a bad mood. Think I got out of bed on the wrong side, but still- we got told there will be no more pay rises for at least a year and they are going to make more redundancies. I wish things would be more open but there [...]
Well hello there. This week a bit manic- lots on at work, trying to sort out masters or not to masters, MrC has his redundancy meeting as we speak but also offered a job elsewhere, though only for 2 months, so all a bit on edge.
A friend Runsdeep, tagged me to create an album cover [...]
And tomorrow is my birthday… and my sister’s too. And probably a lot of people. Like Albert Einstein, if he was alive. And Paul Ehrlich, meaning two nobel scientists born on this day. It’s also Pi day, though presumably only in the US, as in the UK we don’t write 14th March as 3.14. We [...]
Tuesday again.. almost half way til Friday.
Last Friday we had a wine tasting at the cricket club, meaning that on Saturday I was a little worse for wear. I had a very tasty bacon sandwhich with HP sauce. Man, I love HP sauce. It can’t be any brown sauce, it has to be HP.
The bacon [...]
Thank you all for your replies to my post yesterday. You guys rock. Like totally.
Now for something more frivolous. At the moment I am loving ebay, seriously.
I love the “ending soon” where you can pick up some cool stuff for 99p. I love finding others people’s junk that you can turn into a great outfit [...]
In my quest to gain confidence, I ask you, where do you get yours from?
I find it hard to stand up to people, and even to stand up to negative thoughts I have.
Take an example the other day- I was at the hairdressers up North getting my hair cut. I wanted a longish graduated bob- [...]
Tuesday already… spent the weekend up in MrCs hometown for a bit of a re-tox session. I like driving fast on the motorway. It was nice to be in a family home and just chill out; we went to an Ale festival and out to lunch for his Nanna’s 82nd Birthday. I love his Nanna, [...]
