I'm half-cranky, half-OK today, with a thin glaze of knackered, and some headache sprinkles.
Had a great day yesterday though - planted wads of seeds, and sorted out all my systems for rotation and batch planting for (hopefully) fairly continual cropping from late Spring-Early Autumn. Nobody's going to want to know the details, suffice to say there will be a lot of squash and Pak Choi recipes being generated :)
The day was in fact great right up until my brother and his GF phoned to say how terrible my mother was and how they wouldn't be visiting her any more. Heh - maybe you should have mentioned that BEFORE you made a big fuss about moving her back to Stroud :P Nah, seriously, I sympathise with them - obviously I know exactly how messy and annoying my mom is - but then there's no point making two or three big painful deals out of it.
Especially as that leaves me feeling depressed, insomniac, nauseous and bullied for ages after. I have to just come to terms with the fact that my family are toxic for several days after contact. And I need to find a way to get over that. I'm thinking cognitivie behavioural therapy, but I'll wait until I have a little more free time in the Summer.
Then I got a good phonecall from an old university friend. Haven't seen her for a couple of years, but she's coming up for the weekend in a couple of weeks. Yay :)
