Matthew's Journal

Bah I was hoping to get lots of work done today, since I have nothing to do beyond buying a bit of food before 6pm.

But no. Despite a fairly early night last night, I sleep for nearly 12 hours straight (that'd be the codeine then), then de-scale the shower head so it's actually usable again. Then try and have a shower - this is difficult because the shower attachment is *still* broken months after it was initially broken. I begin to regret declaring that since I hadn't broken it, I wasn't going to fix it :-/

And then, of course, there is the washing up. We should have done it Wednesday evening, but I allowed myself to be talked out of it (as often happens - there is a school of thought that washing up straight after dinner is a bad idea, and it can always be done tommorow), so as often happens, it's Friday, I've invited someone round to dinner, and so I have to do the whole lot (and it is quite a pile, some of which hasn't been rinsed, so resembles concrete) myself. So that'll eat an hour or two which otherwise I could have spent working.

I think I should probably just be firmer about washing things up straight after dinner - OK sometimes we've got places to go or what-have-you, but given I'm going to be spending most of this term at home during the day, the alternative is that I end up doing nearly all of it single-handed; this was fine during the Easter vac, but it's going to make a real dent into the amount of revision I get done this term.

Gah. I hate ranting about domestic things; I wonder if I'm just being lazy and should just get on and do things - but at the same time it does sometimes feel that if things get put off long enough Matthew will end up doing them :(


Ceiligh tonight. Should be fun.
