Usual Thursday. My neck, and right arm are hurting today. I have trapped nerves, and if I carry heavy weights, it can flare up, the only thing I can think that did that yesterday was the shopping, but I only really carried a couple of bags from the car to he house. David was here, and helped with the bags as well.

I do have pain-killers, but I need to eat for them to work, and I do not feel hungry. They also make me tired, and, while I do have a shaped pillow to support my neck, I suspect that staying in bed is what is giving me a head-ache. So feel slightly catch-22ish.

I cannot sit if front of the computer for too long, and that aggravates the neck.

I know I said I would do a review of the comics, and I will. Before Angel: After the Fall comes out. I have really enjoyed the Spike-centric comics written by Brian Lynch, so am looking forward to the series. A lot more than Buffy Season 8 to be honest. I know Joss said he still had stories to tell in his verse, but these do not seem a continuation of were Buffy and her fellow characters were in Chosen. Some of the characters seem to have regressed, including Buffy.

Some of the things Joss seems so keen on, like Giant Dawn, leave me totally cold. I just wish it was over and done with. I didn't like it from the moment I saw it, and it is grating on me now. The same with the hi-tech weapons, willy-nilly use of portals and magic. They have 500 slayers joined up. Why to they need all this window dressing? It just doesn't seem the BtVS we knew from the TV series. *sigh*

I guess another thing with a comic book is it is at least a month between issues. Therefore it is longer for each individual to think over what annoys them.....either that or forget.

I sometimes suspect Joss likes a bit of controversy in his verse, and having the fans on Messageboards etc ranting. He may feel it keeps the Verse alive and interesting. My own feeling is that is just alienates fans from each other, and it is not the popular choice that is heard, just the most rabid. Of course not helped by the fact that they have a whole month between issues.

Gotta say that for me the jury is still out with Season 8. I will of course see it through to the end of the Faith arc, in fact will probably give it another Buffy and co. arc before I decide.

Sore now, gotta go!

I have come to the conclusion that forcing my muse just doesn't work. Maybe because I suffer from mood swing, but sometimes my depression kicks in and I have the inspiration of a dead mouse. That being said, I really don't think I will do any seasonal communities this year, unless I have a plot bunny for them, a the deadline comes up, and it is desperation do to something, and it is always something I hate, something I have not thought about enough.

I have been really sleepy for the past couple of days, maybe coming down with a cold or something. Nothing major, at least I don't think so. I have hit the Pepsi Max big time, so drinking plenty of fluids, but not feeling hungry, might try for some porrige and toast later.

I did get quite a few things of my to do list, so I can just sit back and cuddle up to some comfort fic, yes usually older stuff I read before joining lj, at archives. Did I ever say I adore archives!

I had a blood test, I thought I was depressed, but the doctor just wanted to check there was nothing physical wrong. It seems I have high white blood cell count, which I have to get checked out.

I talked to my CPN today, to find out more. It seems I have a virus that is not clearing up, which explains the sleeping for 14 hours, lack of inspiration and concentration, and a general pissed off with the world feeling. At its worsted it could be ME, which takes ages to clear, could be like this for a year or more. I get it when it is no longer fashionable, oh well, I am always being accused of being an 80's throwback (that is when they are being generous, some even say 70's).

What I am really pissed off about was when we thought it might be my depression, which does usually kick in at this time of the year, after the anniversary of Michael dying, the doctor also arranged for an appointment with the shrink, who I have happily avoided for the past four years. All they do is prescribe drugs, all those years training to write prescriptions! Anyway, seems he has his claws back in me now!

Will go and stop moaning now, just so you know that I may be a bit erratic with things in the meantime!
