Not much happening; not getting much work done on the book or the fic...
I seem to be busy and knackered and thoroughly mithered the whole time (ooh; LJ doesn't know the word 'mithered'. What a surprise... *G*). I'm so damn TIRED all the time; last night I dozed off at five thirty, woke at seven thoroughly confused, wondering where the hell I was, thinking it was early morning - got it together long enough to throw some vegeburgers under the grill then into some buns with some salad, eat them, then fall asleep in front of Most Haunted; woke at 9.30, got into bed and didn't wake again till 8.30 this morning.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Tomorrow we go back to Withnell for a few days. We have the chimney sweep coming Thursday (which means we can't light the stove till after he's gone... I foresee many sweaters and blankets in my near future). We've decided that the best way of dealing with the house is for me to go over there alone for a week and blitz the place - doing jobs in dribs and drabs the way we have been doing is getting us nowhere. Tbh, this idea suits me; I'm looking forward to it in an odd sort of a way, and if we're not going to be up to our necks in DIY as per, I'm hoping we can use this coming weekend for Rest and Riting, long country walks (if the weather holds out) and a thorough re-charge. I am taking olives and wine. I live in eternal hope.

And because everyone else is doing it...

you are deeppink
#FF1493

Your dominant hues are red and magenta. You love doing your own thing and going on your own adventures, but there are close friends you know you just can't leave behind. You can influence others on days when you're patient, but most times you just want to go out, have fun, and do your own thing.

Your saturation level is high - you get into life and have a strong personality. Everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. You are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

...Well, there you go. Can't say this sounds much like me now, but it's probably about right for the normal me. I think... If I can remember back that far. *G*

i don't know the word 'mithering' either - it sounds like a linguistical relative of 'dithering' to me. but i know about fatigue burn out type stuff. i keep going round and round and sometimes it seems like i never get anywhere. but hang in there - your flist is here for you. ::hugs::

here's my results on the meme:

mithered, pron. mye-thr'd, means bothered, badgered.

As to the rest, I think 'burn out' is about right. It's mental fatigue born of never getting any peace but I have a few days home now and hoping the rest will sort me out.

Thanks for the hugs. (o:

Well, tbh, so far February has been spectacular! Cloudless blue skies, crisp, frosty mornings turning to deliciously warm, spring-like days. It's been gorgeous.

Have you tried B vitamins? Hope things go well on the cleaning Blitz.
And your sleep patterns straighten out. It is hard to think straight when you're sleep deprived.

I don;t take vitamins tbh, I eat a pretty healthy diet; I think it's just lack of quiet-time that's making me so gloomy. And I got the cleaning done, thanks, and the shopping, then walked the dog, had a work-out, a 40 min run and cooked supper.

But we're at our own house again till Sunday and after a nightmare drive and the shopping, I'm having a rest; - only it's such a gorgeous day, I really feel I should go out for a walk on the moors. The weather's too good, it can't possibly last... *g*

Yeah...

I'm just so damn tired of not being able to get on, you know? But we're home in Withnell till Sunday and I intend to rest and rite the whole time. Tho we have the chimney sweep tomorrow... should be fun. ::sigh::

Oooh'; thank you! ::admires Snail's gift of strong booze:: Just what The Doctor ordered (I wish (o:) - though, we have to Aldi been and come back with the most gigantic and wonderful looking cheesecake (it weighs a TON) also wine, olives, cheesy bread, a goodly-sized wedge of parmesan, grapes, salad and some more of those killer praline eggs...

Why do people skit Aldi? Honestly, it's just great for a greedy person like me. *g*

Meep - hope your chimney is safely swept by now, and you're relaxing in front of a lovely fire... ::beams::

Have a good rest hon - it's so bloody frustrating when you can't get on with life. Being stuck waiting for other stuff to happen is knackering. Kick back for a day or so and blow bubbles at it all *g*

::hugs and sends more booze::
