It's been a jolly busy couple of weeks, all things told. I am, as I said, not dead or indeed pregnant, both of which are good things! However, I have dealt with a trip to Cambridge, my work Christmas party, a trip to see my parents in Ormskirk, a frankly horrible visit to my nan in hospital, and work remaining intensely busy.

I have not been dealing with a combination of stress and a lack of sunlight particularly well recently, which slightly explains my continued silence on LJ which I'm unhappy about. Sorry, all.

However, on Thursday someone at work passed out and I dealt with it admirably quickly, no stress at all, got her to A+E, came back to work, and just generally didn't freak out. So I am retaining my ability to be completely unflappable under a crisis - I'm just not doing too well at this low-level bleurgh. The Thursday improved things, though, and I took Richie out for his birthday on Friday, and I've had a productive day of sleeping, cleaning the house, changing the bedsheets, and writing my Christmas cards and getting the stuff parcelled up for parcel sending on Monday. It's a good feeling and I'm hoping that Christmas will push my into equilibrium again. Lights in the darkness and all that - plus, the sudden drop to cold temperatures is really helping to make stuff feel normal.

So that is the general State Of Colleen, for the moment.
