Nilmandra wrote about things to be thankful for and it was quite timely for me because I was really stressed out about various things this morning. Part of it was work, part of it was Rotaract and not knowing things for certain. But I got more work done today than I thought I'd get through (although I did get to one point where my vision went funny and another point where I didn't think my right shoulder was going to let me go near a mouse again) and I've just come back from a meeting. We're having a chocolate day on 25th, so everyone's excited about that.

I also got a letter this morning to tell me I was the person who won their place at Conference free! Which is to the value of �174, so I am amazed. And great because I booked my flight to Australia at the weekend so I am now broke.

When various people post/tell me about crap stuff going on in their life I realise how grateful I am I don't have that. But I'm also grateful I have a roof over my head, a job and friends. No matter how much I might winge about the first two, at least I'm not leaving on the streets.

I do have proof that I am a rain god, though. On Saturday I did my washing. I pegged it out in the afternoon, went in, got as far as thinking about sorting out the stuff I'd bought in Reading (mostly food, I have to say), at which point it chucked it down. So I got my washing in, which by this point was wetter than when I'd pegged it out. By the time I'd got all of it, and me, inside it stopped raining. I decided to go for a simple life and leave it in. So it didn't rain at all for the rest of the day.

I've also been redesigning the Wallingford Rotaract website, which is currently a fairly generic one shared by other clubs in the district. I've just copied the text over, since I'm more worried about the design than the words, and the contact form doesn't work but it can be found at www.paranoidangel.me.uk/rotaract. If anyone wants to take a look and let me know what they think, as long as it's honest, I'd love to know because I know they look different on different computers.
