nyuuurrrghhh

Hullo chaps. It's been a very long day in the library. 8.45 til 8.45, in fact. Jeez, I didn't even realise I'd been there that long til I wrote that down. Don't worry, I took some breaks. If I'd stayed there unmoving for that long I would probably have frozen to that spot. Not because it's cold in the library, mind. Apart from the slightly odd breeze, it's usually pretty snuggly - I'm next to a radiator and a window, so temperature regulation is pretty easy game. No, I would probably freeze in place in that I would be rendered incapable of moving my limbs. Turned to stone, if you will. I frequently realise when I'm working that my shoulders are up around my ears and really sore. As in, to the extent that I try and relax them and think I have and then realise they can actually sink another inch or three. And then I have a beautiful moment of tension-free relaxation and minutes later I am back to being Mrs Hunchback of Notre Dame. 
Alas. 


This is on my mind slightly because I rang the physio department today to book an appointment, like I was told I should at my last one, and apparently I've left it too long and can't get one without being referred back again by my GP. WHY. WHY? and thrice WHY, I ask you? Why is it necessary for all this to-ing and fro-ing? Why can't at least one aspect of my existence be rendered marginally less stressful?


Anyway. It's been a long day (another one of those dreams where I dreamed I woke up really late and then *actually* woke up and it was 6.45am) and this just tipped me over the edge a bit, so I've been super grumpy all afternoon (apart from a much - needed injection of hilarity by the arrival of Rachel. I <3 that girl). Buuuuut now I'm simultaneously writing a blog, 'helping' Leila internet shop and also listening to her hilariously politically incorrect but very economically sound ideas about jobs. And also watching her try on her shawl, which she's currently getting tied up in. I have missed sharing a room. 


Anyway, I'm feeling more cheerful about life now. It's not all bad. G'nighty!
