Things happened today.

oh good.  I love it when things happen and then I get to go home and tell about them.  I went into town with Pris the Prize this lunchtime, and she had to go to work, and I went round handing out CVs.  And I popped into this little salon that sells Aveda products, and remembered that I used to work in Aveda about a hundred years ago, so I gave them a CV, then went to meet my pal Joe, and the salon called me and asked me to come back in for an interview.  So I went, and I'm going to work there on Thursday to see how it goes.  But probably it will go really well, because it's just as an assistant, which means sweeping hair, shampooing people, selling hair products, and doing things at the reception.  Good, because I fucking needed this job.

So that was pretty good news. Then I wandered around with Joe for a long time, and we popped in some shops.  We were going to try a wedding dress on in a wedding dress shop, and tell them that our big day was coming up, but decided against it.  Also, I took a male mannequin's wig off and wore it round Debenham's.  The shop assistants looked like they wanted to kill me, but I thought it looked terrific! I'd have taken pictures, but my camera ran out of batteries, so, sorry about that.  Then, after doing some other things, Pris finished work, and we went to get some bleach so i can do her and Lauren's hair this weekend.  Then we collected Laurenpie from college and came home. Tracey went to London yesterday to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert the musical.  But she got back today and brought us all sorts of treats to eat from Harrod's. Like really FIT grilled asparagus, different cheeses and Serrano ham.  and olives stuffed with garlink.

Then I went upstairs to do some writing, but one can't rush inspiration, so I decided to learn some German adjectives instead.  But then I found out that I had a terribly crashing headache.  Normally, I'd have a drink to sort that out, but I decided not to do that today because once I get a taste of alcohol on my lips, it's like when sharks taste blood in the water.  I go into a drinking frenzy, and then behave ridiculously.  No self-control.  So I am having a GIANT bottle of water instead, which I think is wise of me.

I am the wise one, after all.

OH, I also forgot to say that I joined the library today!!  Pretty amazing, actually, because I LOVE a library, and they even have courses to learn Icelandic, which is my new hobby.  But I should finish learning German before starting on another one.

The most horrifying thing has just this second happened.  Pris pointed near me on the floor. And it was a HUGE spider, just scuttling and spidering across the floor.

The same floor that had my bare feet upon it.  It could have changed its course and crawled on my foot without me knowing it was there until it was too late. It could have crawled UP MY TROUSER LEG.  So I completely had a panic until Pris crushed it and put a cigarette in my mouth and gave me a swig of red wine.  Oops.  Can I abstain from drinking more?  You'll have to wait for next time to find out.  Place your bets now, everyone.  You may do so in the form of comments.  Also, comment on any other topic I've told you about, if you're that way inclined.  

Until then, godspeed you!

I'm still quite terrified of that tarantula incident.
