Into the Woods – The Indecisive Eejit

Ok, let me rattle through some updates for you as to what has been going on, and what will be going on in the life of the Eejit most indecisive.

I’ve got 30 minutes, so expect rambling, bad spelling and poor grammar (which is not unusual for me).

We went to the cinema on Thursday night as previously mentioned. The film in question was ‘Into the Woods’. I’d seen trailers and thought, yeah, this looks quite interesting. Whilst traveling to the destination Shady texts me and asks me what we’re going to see, so I dutifully told him. He looks it up and replies, looks ok, but I’m not really into musicals, at which point I shout rather loudly, ‘WTF!!!! It’s a musical‘. I am not a huge fan of musicals, so how could I have missed such a vital piece of information. Why had they not included any warbling in the trailer I watched, in fact why the feck had they made it a musical in the first place. I was a little horrified. Very delicious food made me forget for a little while, until the film started and right from the off there was music, which lasted for the entire film. While it was not the worst film I have ever watched, it’s not one that I would want to sit through again. That said, we did have great craic afterwards on the journey home making up our own lyrics to the tune that seems to vary little through the whole film. All in all it was a great night.

I’ve made the decision to close the May Dupp site on the 31st January, in all honesty it will probably be gone before that if I get some spare time this week.It will then be time to tweak a few bits and bobs both here and on my Facebook page to amalgamate both blogs. I’m not 100% sure what I am going to do with Ms Dupp’s Twitter. I may retain it for the time being.

I’ve a few posts I need to catch up on writing and as usual some reading as well. So far my New Year plan of blogging more regularly is not really taking shape, there has been very little spare time. But it’s early days, one month is not yet over, so all hope is not lost.

Right that’s about it, my cold is finally starting to disappear (I hope), which means my sense of smell is returning, which means I really need a shower. Thankfully, it, my sense of smell, waited until after the effects of the Sunday dinners brussel sprouts had passed.

Till next time eejits :)

(Right now I’m thinking only my Sister and brother in law will sing the title of this post, but if you ever watch the film, you’ll understand.)

The worst thing about writing about a fictional character, is where it crosses over into real life. I tempted fate with my story of May and her New Year flu, and now find myself surrounded by used tissues with snotters tripping me. Woe is me. I was even in bed at 11.30 last night, that’s sacrilege. Scarier still was that I was holed up with my Bugs Bunny hot water bottle.

How do I know I have Man flu and not just a normal one I hear you ask, and that is a very good question, for which I have a very good answer. My Xbox One arrived on Friday and it was Sunday before I even managed to get it all put together and into place. I’ve played it once, see, that’s how sick I am!

The only good thing about being in work and being sick is that people generally tend to leave you alone. A few coughs and sneezes had people creeping past my door like it was a contamination area, I mean they don’t even do that when I fart ffs! That said its a useful tool and one I shall remember on days when I cannot be arsed. Say, achooo! followed by whoops must be coming down with something, and watch them all scatter.

I’ve been told to drink plenty of fluids and being the good girl I am (what you smirking at), I generally do what I am told. The slight problem with sneezing and a full bladder is that you have to remember to cross your legs, men you just so won’t get that. It’s actually really hard to sneeze, hold up a tissue, catch snot and remember to cross your legs. Somethings gotta give. Note to self, invest in Tena ladies perhaps for the remainder of this week!

I’m hoping to be better by Thursday, as there is a trip to the cinema planned to see ‘Into the Woods’. Apart from Maleficent, this was the only other film I got even mildly excited about in 2014, just ignore the fact it was not released until 2015. Maleficent, while pretty amazing, was not as stunning as I had thought. I hope the same cannot be said for the one to be viewed on Thursday.

My drive to quit smoking it not going too bad, even though I had used Christmas money to put towards the Xbone, I figured that I can’t have everything so in order to finance the rest of it, it’s time to try and quit. The fact that I have a cold is certainly helping. If I want one I will have one, because denying myself just makes it worse, however, having one reminds me that I don’t actually really enjoy them all that much anyway. I’m not making any firm promises, but I’m certainly up for trying! Total count since Saturday is 3.

I’d been trying to keep up with my reading and since the start of the New Year I had been doing not too bad, this week though, whenever I move myself into a horizontal position and make myself comfortable I tend to fall asleep. Between that and stinging eyes, reading anything has been a bit of a task. That said, I wondered why I was squinting at the screen just now and realised it was because I need to clean 3 days of snot off the lens of my spectaculars, so that’s just what I better do.

Till next time Eejits!

P.s May never did bring me my Chicken soup ffs, she went up to the bus stop and hasn’t been seen since!
