Too busy, OMG!
So this weekend ended up significantly more busy than I had anticipated,
despite knowing on Friday that it was going to be a pretty crammed weekend
anyway. Somehow when it came to actually living through the weekend, the
activities all ended up much longer and being more time consuming than
planned.
Erf.
The end result is that I have barely seen the interior of my house except to
sleep in it. Yesterday evening I did get to see the interior of my house for
a family party (Mum's family) for which Da and I were late because we went
for a last training walk and had a major miscommunication on times with Mum.
We are in the dog house. Also, I lost out on over an hour with some of my
favourite family because Da and I both thought that people were not turning
up until 5pm when in fact it was 4pm. Still, it was a lot of fun and I'm
going to miss them even though I usually only see them a couple of times a
year.
The bit I won't miss is the teasing. Thank you, yes, I know that packing
light is not my forte. However I'm perfectly able to fit everything that I
will need for one night away into a small back-pack. It's when I go away for
more than one night that my 'just in case' nature takes over. I'd like to
point out, though, that everything I take generally is needed and there is
often something (usually the warm jumper that I remove from the case because
it's too big) that I didn't take that I did in fact need.
For some reason I have woken up in a very bad mood this morning and the
ragging on my packing, despite not worrying me yesterday, has been rankling
a bit today. I suspect that this is due to complete exhaustion because I did
not get a noticeable amount of sleep over the weekend due to how busy it
was.
Hmm, I take it back: I will miss the teasing because they're equal
opportunities teasers (and mock themselves just as much they mock anyone
else) and sometimes I need to remember how to laugh at myself. It was just
that after an entire weekend of being mocked and told off about my packing
last month, another dig at my packing was pretty much the last thing I
needed when I'm now starting to feel very stressed about my preparations for
the Snowdon trip. I love my father a great deal, but he seems to think that
I will miraculously find the time to do our food shopping this week and sort
out what he needs to take, even though I've already stated a few times just
how little time I have. Gah!
The fact that I barely saw the interior of the house means that I have not
edited my femslash fic nor filled out some paperwork for work. Both of these
tasks will need to be accomplished tonight. I was planning to go shooting on
Wednesday evening, which would mean packing tonight, but as I now have a lot
to do tonight it's starting to look highly unlikely that the shooting will
happen. Darn. I really need to make sure that I get some sleep over the next
couple of days, too, because we're taking my car to Wales and that means
I'll need to do a fair bit of the driving. As I nearly fell asleep on the
motorway this morning, some sleep seems important.
Could I have an extra few hours in every day this week? Or even just have
some kind of guarantee that I'll get out of here at a sensible time every
day so that I have time to do everything?
