taking stock


I thought I'd give one of Pip's Taking Stock lists a go today.  Here it is!

Making : Final tweaks to an exciting new gocco design and secret crocheted baby goods
Cooking :  My mum's rice salad and hard-boiled eggs
Drinking :  Fizzy things
Reading:  The Luminaries and my own blog
Wanting:  A spare day to do my gocco printing
Looking:  Pale and in need of a shower
Playing:  Matching pairs with Dulcie (not yet actually, but it's guaranteed to happen soon)
Deciding:   What to wear to a wedding (so I don't have to decide anything more important)
Wishing:  For the sort of happiness it seems like everyone else is getting
Enjoying:  Dulcie's company - big time!
Waiting:  In queues - a rare day in the city centre shops today
Liking:  That some of our plants are growing, albeit slowly
Wondering:  How to make things better for us
Loving:  Dulcie - big time!
Pondering:  My health
Considering:  Phoning my consultant
Watching:  Boj (repeatedly) and Mad Men - gone back to series one
Hoping:  I can hold it together
Marvelling:  At Dulcie's brain and speech
Needing:  A new heart?  £30,000 and someone to give half of that to.  A bit of bravery.
Smelling:  Cats (have two on my knee as I type)
Wearing: Yesterday's clothes (but clean pants and socks)
Following:  The routes of public transport
Noticing:  Pregnant people everywhere
Knowing:  That this list is turning out more depressing than I'd hoped
Thinking:  *#@*$*#*!!!
Feeling:  Ill and unhappy
Admiring:  Don Draper - phwoargh!
Sorting:  Wedding outfits for Dulcie and I
Buying:  Cardigans and children's underwear - planning to ditch nappies soon!
Getting:  Hungrier
Bookmarking:  Very near the beginning of The Luminaries
Disliking:  My situation
Opening:  The windows!
Giggling:  Not  much today
Feeling: De ja vu (didn't I already answer this?)
Snacking:  Healthily
Coveting:  Babies
Wishing:  I had a less depressing answer for this. Oh, wait!  Wishing Mad Men hadn't moved to Sky so we wouldn't have to wait for the DVDs to catch up.
Helping:  Dulcie on and off escalators
Hearing:  An unknown baby crying outside, Dulcie's drum machine

    1. Yes, I will do it again, but not on a day I feel like I'm about to die, perhaps!

Hello! I'm sorry that I've had to turn on the word verification feature again, but my inbox was being flooded with very dull spam. Genuine comments always brighten my day though, so thank you for taking the time to leave one :)
