Out of the bag

[mrsbrown]

Every now and again, I let the glum me out for a day. It's only allowed a day and then I have to force it back in and keep going.

Sometimes, I wish the glum would go away after just a few hours, but it's really hard to do.

Anyway, today when I let out the glum, I went back to bed at 10 am and read a dumb kids book. Then I had a nap on the couch followed by watching 4 episodes of Dr Who with mr_bassman

As much as possible I stayed on the couch and only got up when mr_bassman got fed up with getting me food and drink.

Now he's gone out to attend to his baronial duties and I'm home with Rose. I can't afford to be as glum as my body and head feel like being - I have a small child to interact with and a deadline to meet.

I'm thinking that a bit of interaction with the outside world will help dispel the glum. Also, a list of good stuff:

• fun talking with charlesnaismith about travelling to the places I can't afford to do myself, but can fund him doing.


• glee at making him send me a postcard every second day, in exchange for the "moolah"


• tomorrow night will be my first night of sleeping without Rose since she was conceived


• doushkasmum's wedding


• exciting times at work
