This weekends complaints...
Dec. 7th, 2003 05:37 pmIn no particular order, excpt maybe chronological.
Okay, so, really tired all Saturday morning. Overdue a nap probably as i haven't had the chance to catch up on sleep at all since the last deadline over a week ago. Been zombified all week. Decided to take a nap directly after lunch, at around 2. Woke up sometime around 6.30. Four and a half frickin' hours nap. Geez. So that was the bulk of my day gone.
So, fix some tea, then settle down to watch my Two Towers director's cut DVD. Been waiting for it 2weeks and it finally arrived Friday morning. Get about 15 minutes in and *pfut* the lights go out. Power cut in our entire street. So there I am, wide awake having slept so long in the afternoon, no power, lights etc so not even possible to sit down and read let alone watch telly or anything. After an hour or so pottering aroun by candlelight finally went back to bed and after a few hours managed to drift off just as the power came back on.
Up bright and early this morning to go to a car boot sale (outdoor tabletop sale equivilent) and it was frickin' freezing. Cold enough to freeze the bollocks off a brass monkey, and came pretty close to doing the same to me.
Then off shopping and lunch, which I generously paid for. Monthly shop took a chunk out of my savings too. merf. Anyway, back home and then spent an hour or so just sat with my gran./ Looks like she's really dying this time. If she sees christmas I'll be surprised. Has the start of pneumonia probably, but the chances of her surviving either in hospital or in the home she's in seem equally remote and at least where she is she's warm, comfortable and getting 24 hour care. In hospital the attention is few and far between.
Anyway, guss I'm in a level mood but not exactly had a great weekend. Just drained emotionally just now. Things'll probably perk up at some point.
Adieu.
