I had a wonderful, restful, nap earlier; almost two hours, snuggled up with Sara and two of our cats. I also head very pleasant dreams I still feel sluggish and cold so I'm sadly leaning towards coming down with something. Then again, two hours isn't a huge amount of sleep, maybe a proper sleep tonight will help.

After napping, I had some cheese, piccalilli and crackers to eat before we did a final clean of the kitchen and dining room, and checked we'd got everything for Christmas. The dining room table now looks very festive with Christmas place settings and boxes of snacks and treats etc.

I came online for a while, commenting and friending more people from the friending meme, having people comment on my posts and friending me back which is very exciting. Hello to everyone who's come along to join the party.

This evening, Jackson decided not only did he want pizza, but that he was going to buy it for all of us. Maybe my boy grew up a little during his first few months at university. We ate far too much food - two large pizzas, potato wedges, chicken strips, cookies and a couple of bottles of diet coke.

Even better, we watched A New Hope and Rogue One before Jackson disappeared to his room to play video games with his friends online. I'm going to respond to comments on here, read a little then have an early night and hopefully tomorrow will have me feeling more like myself

I did not sleep well last night, I was tossing and turning all night and ended up giving up and moving to the couch. So as well as not sleeping well, I've now got backache because the couch is not built for sleeping on.

Then Sara dragged me to the supermarket at an ungodly hour so we could our Christmas food shopping done before it got busy. She was right, of course, and it was getting busy just as wel left. Naturally, we have bought far too much food when you consider there's only going to be 3 of us - although, Jackson is a teenage boy so maybe he counts as 2 or 3 people worth of eating. I'm sure the girls will be dropping in as well.

I'm now back on the couch, under a blanket, with the fire on and Splatter (one of our cats) curled up against me. I have a mug of caramel hot chocolate and a hot mince pie with brandy butter. I still can't get warm. I hope I'm not getting sick 4 days before Christmas. It's likely because I'm tired. Maybe I need a nap. Mmm nap. Wonder if I can convince Sara to join me?

Mostly I'm pottering around on DW. I've got some icons, I've got a layout. I either need to find some decent Take That/Robbie/Mark icons or learn how to make them. I don't even know where to begin with doing that. I've updated my profile and my interests and now I'm just wandering in and out of the journals of people who've posted on [personal profile] st_aurafina's Friending Meme.

(I'm also pleased that I've retained some of the basic HTML I learned decades ago. Huzzah!)

Now that I've been thoroughly whiny, perhaps I should write a post about the things that make me happy
