It's funny that I hadn't realized how busy I've been until Elisabeth pointed out to me last night that I left for work before her on Monday and only just got home from work after her on Tuesday. That she had worked two full days to my one, long, extendoshift.
Work is busy right now which is good.
I only got three hours of sleep on my sleep-in which kinda sucked because it left me feeling grotty (And, as a result, hyper-cafeinated) for all of yesterday. I normally sleep really well during sleep-ins but these birds in the back garden sang all night long. The silence also got to me - everyone wet to bed around midnight and the house was very quiet (There's usually banging around all night long). I blame the beloved dehumidifier, actually - I'm used to its gentle backgrond hum and and reassuring tinkle when a squirt of water falls into its basin.
We still haven't given it a name.
As a result of being unable to sleep, I watched late night TV. It's the 1st time that I've been annoyed by England only having five channels. After two thirty (And 2 1/2 hours of Celebrity Big Brother [Go George Galloway, you meglomaniac!][Boo Dennis Rodman! - you're only there as the token American who is going to draw attention t how stupid you are and, conversely, how stupid all Americans are so that the British can feel superior.]) there's nothing really on other than moto-cross (Yawn), down hill skiing competitions (Started off good showing a bunch of terrible falls and injuries but became dull, repetitive and made me feel very ADD), a smarmy UK Jerry Springer knock off (Totally lacking in empathy and actually encouraging his participants to fight and then, when they do, the skinny tie, hawston fin wearing jack ass would just stand back and smirk.), lessons in speaking German and a documentry in exploring the origins of geological formations that make famous vacation resorts into famous vacation resorts (Teribly boring, acually. I suppose that if it had actually been an interesting documentry, then it wouldn't be showing at 3 o'clock in the freaking morning.).
Iterestingly, starting at around 2AM, the BBC 1 & 2 has little men & women pop up in the bottom courner of the TV screen and do sign interpretations of all the shows. Is there a massive surge of deaf BBC 1 & 2 viewers at 2 o'clock in the morning that makes this a necessity or is this just some BBC tokenism?
Hmm...
I'm taking it very easy today. There's a Visa bill I've got to pay and a mystery package from B&Q that's waiting to be picked up at the post office. Things don't get more exciting than this.
