General Update

Vinnie is still sick, and a complete little snot monster, poor thing. He hates me wiping his nose every five minutes, but I hate him trying to blow bubbles in the snot more. I hate my life sometimes, but that's OK. I'm sad I had to miss out on today's planned fun, and Monday's planned fun, and thankfully right now I have no life so there is no other planned fun to miss out on.

Hopefully all my planned fun can be planned again, next week, or at least when sproglet is not dripping snot all the time. He's coughing less at night, so hopefully he is sleeping better. He's in good spirits for the most part, though this afternoon he was very cuddly, which happens so rarely that I think my brain popped. Usually I have problems dealing with this as I am not a touchy feely person, but today I was reading a Pratchet book, so when Vinnie needed love I put him on my knee, and sometimes read bits of it to him.

Highlights: a few thousand words of novel. It's been a long time since I worked on it - since the 8th of March. A very long time for one who is as patient as I when it comes to these things. Usually I just don't have the time or the energy - the time Iused to write was when Vinnie was asleep, but these days I am napping too. And last night we went to Mum's for dinner, and Mum and Dad helped me to finish cleaning during the day, so after we got home and vinnie was in bed, I found I had enough energy to get into it again! Yay!

Lowlights: Just general tired and sick and sad. Not as sick as I have beem, hence the lack of whining posts every few hours, but just off kilter sick. Keeping food very plain right now, and drinking like a horse. OJ, Milk, Water, Cordial, lemonade, tea, coffee, ginger beer...soooo bloooody thiiiiiirsty all the fricking time. I feel down, but not massively down like last week? A few days ago? Earlier, at any rate. Wearing my new pretty dress because I was hoping to get out today, but it didn't happen.

sorry to fail miserably on getting back to you about this. I'm finding anything that takes energy a bit too hard to organise. Maybe try and organise without me? (now that youngest swimming lesson is at 11:30 rather than 9:00, I'm struggling to get much else done on a monday)

No no, don't apologize. Seriously, no one is running at full tilt right now, and I was running at more than 10% and wanted to go, it would have been a done deal by now.

Don't stress. I'm worried about this winter, actually. It seems to be hitting all my female friends really really hard, and we're still in autumn.
