I really do feel like giving up. One person is looking forward to seeing the things I will do - after I finish. That is so lovely. Even having strangers say 'don't give up'.

I'm not a quitter. I've never been a quitter. I'm a fighter. I just need to be confident in my ability. I also need to not be so hard on myself and to not have high expectations... for expectations can only lead to disappointment.. (trouble and seat wetting.... oh wait, that's heavy petting - thought of Rocky Horror when typing 'lead to disappointment').

It's now 9.10pm. I'm still sick. I've had no dinner (chicken soup and fresh bread is to be eaten.... Geeves, please bring tonight's dinner into the formal lounge room for dining) and MUST get on to this assignment (Geeves... punch out an A essay will you, remember not to plagiarise but sign my name at the bottom). Even if it's going to be a shitty assignment I need to do it to finish it and submit it by Sunday. So, just like in Starsky and Hutch (and like Shell and I kept saying around Eastern Europe)... DOO IIT! Dooo Iiiit!

I love my dog, mofo sits right in front of the heater... hog.
