Frazzled

[dalekboy]

So I've been tired insomniac boy for a week or two now, Lex has been deciding to not sleep much, and my cold has been keeping me awake. This has all resulted in me going through the last week or so in a vague, zombie-like way, achieving very little and struggling an awful lot.

That's probably how I lost all those emails. Thanks to those who resent (including you, Dame Judi... Rowr!), I am slowly working my way through them as I try to at least get minimal stuff done, like wash nappies, feed Lex, eat, drink, etc.

Yesterday Lex had his one year injections, making him even worse for the sleeping, and much, much more grizzly. So today I'm feeling rather ragged. And I'm so behind on everything, I still haven't gotten my tax done - for the last two years.

No sympathy required, but some amusing comments, stories, or links would not go astray.

Oh, and there's my apple crumble. I had left over stewed fruit from Sunday. I mentioned making it into something, and James thought apple crumble sounded good. I found a recipe for the crumble part, made it, then realised there was no base to the recipe - it was just fruit in the pan followed by crumble. These kind of crumbles never go well for me, they always fall apart. So, because I was very tired and this sounded like a brilliant idea, I thought to myself "I know, I'll use the crumble mix as the base for the slice and put the fruit on top". Because, of course, that's going to make the structural integrity So Much Better...

Last night I had a great dream. all serious about lost kids and runaways, and they were running out of chances until they started getting help from someone secret. And who could have planned for this time for generations? Why, who else but the chickens, who were hatching pre-planted guerilla fighters out at key locations in the forest as we speak...
