Aha! But the good stuff!
Turns out that in the end, I didn’t have such a bad day. I submit, as evidence, my day summed up in dodgy bullet point form:
- I managed an unexpected trip to Ikea with my mum at the last moment, which resulted in me getting some shelves, some lamp shades and other misc that the house needs (photos forthcoming!). I tried to buy a chest of drawers (my current chest of drawers is a fun little number that tilts forward to crush you under its mighty bulk every time you dare try to open a drawer, which has resulted in me opting to keep all my clothes on my floor lest I be crushed like a bug), but it turned out that after all the looking and thinking and discussing and selecting and finding and lugging and moving and seeking….that they were out of stock.
BUGGER!
On the bright side, this gives me some more time to look about at Ikea hacks (I have some ideas of my own, but it’s great to see what else is out there!) before making my final purchase. Plus, in my mind, a second trip to Ikea is never an entirely bad thing.

Tiredness
I’ve been so tired recently. It’s making it hard to get work done. Hell, it’s making it hard to get anything done.
I’m not entirely sure of the reason for it – it could be that I’ve been busy and not eating well enough. It could be that it’s the end of winter, and everybody has been so unwell. Somehow I avoided getting actually sick this winter, but instead spent weeks being almost sick ( dizzy, a runny nose, a headache and sore throat for one day, then gone again, while those around me got really sick for weeks).
It could be that I’ve been busy and full days with early morning and later and later nights are taking their toll on me.
But I think it’s more than that – I think it’s psychological as much as anything. [Read more →]
