90 minutes to go

[ailbhe]

Last night was the worst night I've had in a long time - I spent very little of it in my own bed, because both children were desperately needy, and I was ill, so I had to change my sweat-soaked nightshirt in the middle of the night, and blah.

So then I spent the morning doing housework, cooking breakfast, tidying up for people to come for a BfN study group, and the lady we'd booked for childcare arrived, but no-one else did. We had a pleasant time waiting for everyone.

Now I've started baking squash for soup. I have a headache and I feel dehydrated, in spite of gallons of tea and stuff. Still, at least the house looks nice enough for the dinner guests later. All I need to do is finish clearing the manky side of the kitchen and finish cooking. I'm so glad the shepherd's pie is just ready to go.

I wonder where our tablecloth is gone?

I hope you feel better soon!

Oh, how rude of folks to simply not show up without calling. Did you have to pay the childcare lady?

Here's to having a smooth evening!

AFAIK tea and coffee are diuretics, not what you want if you are already dehydrated! Water, fruit juices are much better for hydrating.

I hope you have found your tablecloth. In my house it might be at the bottom of the dirty laundry basket. :-(

Did your ladies ever show up?

That's one of those Everyone Knows myths - the diuretic effects of tea and coffee are so minimal that they are a net hydration gain, not loss.

The tablecloth was clean but unironed. I didn't iron it.
