Astrid is happy

Big sleep, big feed, big poo, big sneeze, big smile.

First day almost over

I didn't get as much as I hoped done but I got more than I expected. If I could just summon the energy to rehang all the laundry I rescued from the rain earlier I'd be doing ok. But we all got washed, dressed, and adequately fed, and the general clutter levels in the kitchen decreased rather than increased, and the laundry isn't as far from being done as it was.

I even managed a cup of tea, this afternoon. Took several goes and a few tipped down the sink for going cold, but I managed.

And Linnea and Emer have been fairly well-behaved, rather than deliberately difficult, which is a great help. I wasn't sure which way they'd fall.

I am so so so tired though. Blindingly tired.
