Stuff in my head:

* Happy birthday Els! Hope you had a wicked time.
* Urgh I feel so ill. I've been trying to shake off this horrible cold all week, and I just feel so drained and limp and fuzzy. Had a funny turn on the tube this morning, the Piccadilly line is very airless. I know that it's my own fault really for working too much and eating rubbish at stupid times of day. Day off tomorrow. I think I shall have a long lie-in and just lounge around the house. Maybe tidy my room a bit. I rearranged it and it looks good, but very messy.
* On Wednesday I interviewed for an amazing job. I should hear this week. Please cross your fingers for me if you have a second to!
* Today was the Elisabeth Sladen, Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony signing at Borders! It was a terrific day. I did badges! There was food! I gave The Sladen a letter that some of my Kitezh kids wrote her. Other cool stuff. Possibly longer post later.
* Really missing Kitezh lately, actually. Feeling a bit emotional about it.
* I am sort of worried about Christmas. Fear it will be all forced jollity and people going off to cry in corners. Also, I have no money for presents.
* I don't like having two jobs. It makes me feel like I'm always rushing. Again... hope I get this one I interviewed for t'other day. It's in Ealing! Which, shockingly, looks nothing like TV-Ealing, since TV-Ealing is actually Cardiff...
* Oh self, stop moaning! You live in London, you have your own (small) steady(ish) income, your friends are great, the SJA is on every Monday, and your hair is cool. Blessings. Count 'em.
* In fact, self, why are you still up? It's half three! Being crazy-wired for no apparent reason is not a good enough excuse.
* Love and hugs to Penguins and associated persons!

I've been missing Russia a lot lately, too. So I started reading a lot of Russian poetry and looking at my old pictures and...it just made the longing worse. :( Russia can just capture your soul, can't it?

That is sooooooooo cool that you were able to give Elisabeth Sladen a letter from the kids at Kitezh. I'm sure that lots of fans give her stuff, but not many fans give her letters from Russian orphans!

I wonder whether you could somehow convince Elisabeth Sladen to use her celebrity to do a sort of fundraiser for the orphanage? No idea how one would go about that...maybe you'd have to contact her agent??? Or perhaps such a thing could never happen. But I think it would be cool if it did happen.

Hang in there and feel better soon. Try to get some rest. For the first few years after I graduated from the university I had to work two jobs (and sometimes three jobs), so I understand what you're going through. This too shall pass. In the meantime, take good care of yourself.

Russia's just that kind of place... think you'll ever go back?

Wow, wouldn't that be amazing? She's a very busy lady, though... Although it looks like she might be arranging to have some cool stuff sent to the kids, which is lovely!

Have a nice weekend!
