Days 12 and 13: Good things

[ailbhe]

₁₀₄In spite of PMS I didn't actually injure anyone. This is a major achievement. I spent yesterday sizzling with rage and today incredibly, mindbogglingly tired. Also, I had to de-weekend the house; it pootles along ok Monday to Friday and by midmorning on Saturday is well on the way to squalor. I'm used to this, but it's hard work. However, ₁₀₄the cleaning lady came and ₁₀₅I've had a lot of junk food.

To improve our cashflow I need to move the account the child tax credit and child benefit gets paid into. So I need to find bits of paper and phone the guvmint.

₁₀₆I've been reading The Audacity of Hope and mainly enjoying it, though I'm a bit surprised to see that Obama's not wholly opposed to the death penalty. He does at least say it's not an effective deterrent. Sadly, it's a book which takes more brain than anything else I'm reading so I'm working through it very slowly, but I'm kind of grateful it takes brain.

₁₀₇The toilet did not get blocked at all today even though Linnea saw fit to play with loo roll again. The damn stuff unwinds so temptingly.

₁₀₈I managed to stay technically awake until Rob got home, though I couldn't stay upright. Then I passed out for over an hour and woke feeling exhausted.

Holly has gone past the unwinding & stuffing paper down the loo, but she still can't resist unwinding & streamering the bathroom at times :/

I am also very slowly reading The Audacity of Hope. I now am part-way through 3 interesting non-fiction books none of which I quite have enough brain for. I haven't reached the death penalty bit yet, so you are doing better than me.

I also have his earlier book, Dreams from my father which is quite a good read, though more telling-an-interesting-story than political.
