The mental images are disturbing.

In the real world, I have a new filing cabinet, a large stack of file folders, and am grinding through the first major pile of papers. I had lots of fun shopping at Staples today. Yesterday I spent again mostly in bed or sitting down, during which time I turned my notes from the previous evening into a nice list of projects, some project support sheets and a whole load of Next Item lists.

I did some real cooking today: I saw the vegetables that needed eating in the fridge and had an inspiration to make carrotty chickeny leeky ricey, which turned out fairly well and has produced quantities of ping. A nice confidence boost, and 3 portions of veg per serving.

Another migraine started brewing Saturday afternoon, and though I drugged it into oblivion, I was shattered for the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday and most of today. I had a lie down between breakfast and going to work and another one between fetching Charles and going to music class, and another one after music class. Charles helpfully went to sleep for two hours, allowing me to doze and cook and register for childcare vouchers

Going to bed soon, as part of the Get Enough Sleep project.

I did a lot of reading over Saturday afternoon and Sunday, about a year's worth of Cycle Campaign newsletters and all the easy-to-deal-with home email - the end-of-day average is now ~50, but they're all the slightly awkward ones. I will try to make myself do one a day or something.

We had Mum & Mick to stay over the weekend, though they were in London all day Saturday and I had crashed before they arrived back. Sunday was very relaxed, and if it was rather enforced on me, it seemed to go down well with our guests. My meal-planning appeared to work ok, though fanf produced all the actual meals over the weekend. I think I will leave him more leeway next weekend to use his own creativity. This week has got off reasonably well although I amended my planned meal for tonight as Charles was asleep when I needed to obtain onions. Lots of leftover ping, and more filling than I expected. Bonus. crazyscot's rice recipe worked perfectly so I will use that again.

Sausage casserole to use up fridge leftovers: sausages we didn't eat last week, and half a tin of chopped tomatoes.
