As I'm not feeling very articulate, let me quote moviegrrl to express my thoughts and feelings:

"Dear All

Don't worry. I have not been eaten by sharks, abducted by aliens or been whisked away by Jason Isaacs to be his love-slave....

I am however on hiatus, I think.

I say think because I don't know how long it will be before I want to start writing everything down again. It's ok - nothing's happened, at least nothing more than the usual run of events. But currently I feel very bleggh and for once I think writing it all down will just add to my malaise rather than relieve it.

I'm also not reading anyone else's diaries currently. That doesn't mean I've fallen out with any of you lovely people, and I do still want to know what's going on with you. As always I send you my cyber love and hugs should you need it!"

In fact, my good people, times are not the best in the Sof and Jim Residence at the moment. Jim has an absessed tooth and other health problems, there are scares of septicimia, loosing of teeth and such things.

Sof, on the other hand, has been depressed. You know, just sitting about, staring at walls, feeling completely empty inside at times. Not all the time, luckily. She's also been watching daytime telly, reading Sandman comics, smoking too much, and doing other things not particularly designed to pick up people who are already depressed. It's bloody good she's got Jim, though.

Next week Sof's going back to work, in an effort to regain some purpose to her existence.
