I never got the hang of Wednesdays

Thanks for the very many kind comments on my last post. The best one was Going to a place where people hate having to accommodate your existence is only worth it while it's fun, which is so true I want it on a plaque on my wall or something, reminding me when I wonder whether I've had enough that this is my threshold too.

I only got two hours' sleep, being awake until 6am, so unusual for me that I worried. I also worried about having such a demanding day at university today, with two hours of statistics and graphs in sociolinguistics, and then three hours of Arabic that I really struggled to concentrate on. But I wasn't tired and I wasn't failing to cope in the ways I feared I would. Andrew's new office chair arrived this afternoon and I ended up mostly putting it together, as soon as I got home and walked the dog, without losing my shit too much.

Yesterday was awful even before the WI meeting, today was difficult, the rest of this week should be easier.

Glad yesterday was a lot less difficult for you!

How's the rest of the week going so far?

Today was so much better! I got up early (only because I went to bed so early), did lots of tidying and sorting I have been stressed about for a very long time, with the good incentive that a friend is coming to stay this weekend and I had to get the spare bed unearthed from all the junk I'd let accumulate. I went to a seminar that wasn't bad which is a lot better than I'd expected! I met up with some of my WI chums, which was so nice, fun to be reminded of everything good about it. And I went to the pub with Lib Dems and had a great time. Agreed to be a candidate in the upcoming council elections, now that that's a thing I can do!

As well as the lovely friend staying with us, my boyfriend and his girlfriend are visiting; they're all going to a film festival and while I'm not, I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hooray! That sounds pretty awesome.
