Books!

I have now read - that is, started, read all the bits in the middle, and finished - TWO books since 6th September. I am once again reading! This is a huge relief to me.

Of course, they were both well-loved Georgette Heyers, but it's a start, isn't it?

Combat the voices

I feel particularly useless today, because I am sitting around while Rob tidies.

I hung the nappies and washed and hung the towels. I also washed three special loads of one item each, and a rug. I filled and ran and emptied the dishwasher. I cleaned ALL the children, including the one who had an accident on the rug. I put away clean dry laundry. I made my bed. I made everyone lunch and several people breakfast. I did fractions with Linnea, body parts with Astrid, and something else with Emer, I forget what right now. I tidied up. I helped Rob replace our dining room speakers, and made a meal plan for next week. I did finance stuff online. I fed everyone dinner and got Emer ready for Girls' Brigade when Linnea wasn't well enough to go.

Could be worse.
