I took the day off work today. I had to. Well, how can you go to work when lifting your arms is a real struggle? To say I spent the whole day asleep would be an over exaggeration but except for a 10 minute period at around 3 and when I woke a couple of hours ago - yep, pretty much the whole day.

Now, of course, I cannot sleep which means I will be knackered tomorrow - but knackered I can cope with, tired is a state of normalcy at the moment - whatever today brought me was not ‘tired’, was not ‘knackered’… today felt like my body hated me and wanted to let me know that fact.

So, I got nothing done today and I had such big high hope type plans to get writing done and Scout palaver and all the usual nonsense.

Instead what I did was play around with Zazzle… Here is the result of that…

make custom gifts at Zazzle

More things will get added as and when.

Other than that I’m just going to do that meme that’s floating around. Stolen blatantly from Karl and Avi.

Oh today people. Today, I was almost all kinds of fantastic.

Oh yes I was. No seriously. Stop looking at me like that! I was!

Alright, I wasn’t. I had a moment of genius which I can’t talk about because I can’t talk about my job but just accept I am a living God and move on.

I have put my woolly coat on, got down on all fours and baa-ed loudly for all the world to hear. I have signed up at Zazzle and am in the process of designing some rather splendid t-shirts and other items. Of course in true ‘me’ fashion they are in no way ready yet, purely because I am blogging now and then finishing them later… But soon you will marvel at the mediocrity of my produce and buy some of Karl’s instead (see, whoring myself out to Dave yesterday and Karl today)

The logo on them is the tree - yes that one up there - but simplified and in various colours… like these.

I like them… and am needing to find new and improved ways of earning money to finance a way ‘up’. Of course, I expect a major chain to pick them up immediately and to see on the back of people like Paris Hilton and Kate Moss as soon as next week.

In other news I started watching The Net (the Sandra Bullock film, not the series) as a flicked onto after Chuck… and my mind, as it does, started to wander if my family disappeared and I got myself into a pickle like dear Miss Bullock, would anyone be willing to stick their neck out and say ‘yes, that’s Bec’? Not saying, would people be able to physically identify me because there are quite a few people who know this face but would anyone be willing to risk getting into the deep water with me and drown? When the mind starts to wander like this there is only one thing to do - switch off the TV and make more brightly coloured ‘Tree products.

And on that particular piece of insanity I leave you to go to dreamland… where hopefully I will be chased by one or two of my favourite fantasies.
