Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

So I stayed up last night to watch the New York Mets play game two of the NLCS (biiiig important series, winner goes onto the World Series). It was a slow game - well, it's never fast at the best of times but trust me, it was really slow - and it didn't finish until gone 5am. Gnnng. And we lost. GNNNNNG!! That's the Mets for you, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I will, of course, be doing it all again tonight. I'm such a sap. God knows what my sleep patterns are going to be like next week.

Last week was pretty uneventful. We were supposed to have a team meeting at work where one of the items TooBrightTies had added to the agenda was the restructuring of the division our unit is in and how it'll affect us. Never happened though cos he was in meetings all day. Typical. I wish he hadn't put it up on the agenda until he was sure he could be at the team meeting, it just makes the more nervous types restless and fretful about what's going to happen. Me, I figure something will come out in the wash, regardless - I'm a temp, I'm flexible. Those that have been in their jobs for 10 years or more tend to be more twitchy. Ah well, we'll see.

I was supposed to give blood on Tuesday - didn't happen, I was too anaemic. *sighs* Did the little "We'll stabbity stab your finger and put a drop of blood in this tube" test and my blood decided it didn't want to sink, at least not before rising right to the top of the tube. So I got stuck with a needle anyway, so that they could do a proper test and it turns out I was just a couple of points below their safety margin and it's nothing they're worried about. They were ever so sorry they couldn't take my blood that day but assured me I was free to try in three or four months time when they were next around. Fairy nuff. Annoying though, I was all psyched up for it (I hate needles) and then after all that, nuffink! Hmf!

I have spent most of this week catching up on the US shows I got behind on because I couldn't download eps. I'm now bang up to date on all of them but keeping track is going to be a bitch. I know I have to get Grey's Anatomy on Fridays, Numb3rs and BSG on Saturdays and House (I think) on Wednesdays. I keep forgetting when Cold Case, Without A Trace and NCIS are on. *grumbles* I really need to draw up a list *eyes jenni411 and makes notes to ask her to go through a TV Guide and help her plot*

*yawwwwwwns* So, I hear you ask (not), why are you up before noon if you didn't get to bed until gone 5am? Good question. I had to scamper over to Welwyn to pick up my new inhaler from the chemist because they close at lunchtime. Been trying to get over there all week but kept getting foiled by things like getting into work so late I couldn't leave early enough or throwing up so violently I had to go home to sort me and my car out :P Jinxed I tells ya! Jinxed! Anyway, I've got my new preventer inhaler (druuuuugs!) and got a head start on the next prescription I need to fill by putting it into the surgery on my way past this morning. So with a bit of luck I'll be able to pick that up before next Saturday, God willin' and the creek don't rise.

Sadly, going out woke me up more than I wanted to be woken up. So I'm downloading BSG right now and I shall watch Numb3rs and Grey's Anatomy until I feel sleepy again. There will be a major nap in my future, I can tell. Oh yes.

How are you all this Saturday morning afternoon?

*hugs her flist*
