Have sunk to familiar low...

Am licking out the wrapper of the Espresso Crunch chocolate my brother's fiance brought back from Germany and reading oodles of House fic.

Also jhava's drabble is turning out *slightly* longer than planned *shakes fist at muses* Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! I'm trying to keep it short, but it really doesn't want to. Grrr.

Big thank you to evildrem for the paid account; in a frenzy of uploading I now have many icons at my disposal, including this one which is so very pretty. No idea who made it and frankly not bothered by the text on it, but... hmm will not bore you with detailed description, will save that for all too likely fic, besides reality is sadly lacking in bedposts, and also, subject of icon - hmph!

What is even better is that I have an icon of the flipside of the subject (no, not *that* flipside ...tragically), which is all 'ooooo I could do vonderful thinks vith you darlink' *cough* Did I mention that I'm really knackered and probably not thinking clearly?

There was something else I was going to say... can't remember now... it'll probably come to me as soon as I hit 'update'.

Remembered...

... a whole 2 minutes after hitting update.

My boss, not the absent one, the sorceror one... hmm one day I will have to try that on him, as a career academic and a prof before the age of 40 he *must* know it. Not sure how to work it into a conversation though - there are some that call me... Tim? Maybe I should just ask if his kids have any pets, like oh for example, a cute fluffy, white bunny ;-)

Anyway, I digress, he gave me a morale boosting little talk this morning about my 'invaluable' contribution to an issue last week - go me - and how very well I've done in my boss's absence to keep things running smoothly etc - this always leaves panicky feeling of other shoe about to drop. Rambling again, sorry. He said I have to book a holiday for myself, everyone needs a break and everyone's had one but me so far so...

Where do I go people? What do I do? I suspect it will have to be at least a week or it won't count. Could go with parents to relatives in Devon, but while it would be nice to see them it's not that much of a holiday exactly. If I go somewhere abroad where do I go? Should I go by myself? Well I think I'd probably have to since there don't appear to be any likely candidates to go with me. Could roam the UK at large and stalk friends and family alike, but that may require more co-ordination than I'm capable of in my current state.

Any ideas?
