Our clocks went forward today.
It's 10.44 now (according to the 'puter).

I felt wonderful when I woke up.
Realising it was Sunday. I wasn't waiting for the alarm to go off, I didn't have to rush and hustle.
Sunday is a gift now, because I don't hate Monday, because I don't worry all day. And also because I'm not alone. It's not a trial to get through. The 'rents have their routines and so do I. They go to Tesco in the morning (yay - house to myself!) and I bake a cake late morning or early afternoon.
And I get a dinner made for me in the evening.

Used to be I helped make or at least wash up, but then we had the spat about not eating together - the one where I pulled a face at Mum's coughing. We've avoided that situation pretty much ever since.

Part of me thinks we should be over this by now and I should extend an olive branch. Another part of me thinks at least this way there won't be another row - there've been too many over dinner, really.

I've got bronchitis. All stuffy this morning with impressive smoker
sounding cough with bits of lung coming up. Good morning
indeed.

It's 7am, I've been up for two hours. Must be PoloSeason#2MorningPractice#1.

Let me tell you, I'VE NEVER BEEN SO FUCKING SCARED IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I don't know how I'm going to do it again on Thursday I was shaking at the wheel which didn't help. I think maybe I'll take the dodge, people seem to think it's ok to bully the little car. but I don't want to be scared off. what if I never find the nerve to try again?

Hmmmm.... 6:25 back from morning practice run. It's kind of easy to get out of that habit after only a week off..... even though I've woken at 5am every fucking day during break. I hate that

Week two of morning practice for both high-schoolers. 6am: both are already in the pool, I'm sat at school checking my email, killing time before I go to work at 7am -no point going home, at least the school has the public WiFi turned on.
