Mind/State

A braindump in random lumps (none of which are carrot).

• I realise that English probably isn't the first language of the person who emailed me this morning, certain that they could fulfil my accommodation needs, but there's something very strange about calling your business "Shun Fat Bedsitter". It makes me wonder what their weight limit is.
• After months of existing on, frankly, shit-all sleep, I seem to have fallen into a big bucket of sleep. So deep that I didn't hear the radio at all this morning and slept through an hour of Radio 4's Today programme at reasonably loud volume (reasonably means it's actually too loud to listen to comfortably and not so loud that the people across the street can hear it). I also slept through my phone alarm (more exactly, picked up my phone, switched the alarm off and went back to sleep with absolutely no memory of having done so). It may seem churlish, but is a bit of balance too much to ask for?
• When shopping for new underpinnings, I should remember that there's a good reason that said underpinnings look like they could double as hammocks and reserve judgement on the attractiveness (or lack of) until they're actually on. Also that cost is usually related to the amount of fabric used and that the cheap bra boat has pretty much sailed for me so I should just accept it as an essential living expense.
• Why is it that I can't ever eat Fish Pie without burning the inside of my mouth?
• I have recently discovered Humous. Quite why it's taken me four and a half years since moving to London and first being aware of it I'm not quite sure. It seems to be addictive. I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or not.
• My plan to save money by drinking spice tea instead of diet coke has failed at the first hurdle. I am at work and the tea bags are on my bedroom floor. My other plan of saving money by bringing lunch into work with me has also failed at the first hurdle. My sandwiches are still their individual components and safely stored in various places in the kitchen. *sigh*

Shun Fat Bedsitter

LOL.

Mmm... Humous. Or hommos. Or hummus. Hoummos? Whatever. :p It's good on chips.

Sleep-debt is a bitch, and you always have to pay-back. The problem is, as you discovered, that you can't choose when, it just suddenly happens.

Humous. :-) Try it in a Wholegrain grated carrot& Humous sandwich. They were made for each other. All too easy to eat. :-(

Chz: Humous and chips? Hmm. Not sure. Will give it a try though.

Nikki: ... and also can't choose when my body decides that there's been way too much sleeping in the last few days and keeps me awake til past 3 am *sigh*

Grated carrot sarnie with humous sounds nice. Adrian's version was with red pepper for colour and crunch, although obviously I'm far too lazy to buy veg and prepare them then actually make sandwiches to bring for lunch so I'll have to wait for the weekend to give it a go :)

Ah, sleep deprivation. Sleep and I have always had a very contentious relationship, and it's made much worse by the two kiddos. You're all signed up for the sock-a-month knitalong. Happy socking!
