Bear finally surfaced at noon. A fortnight of early mornings and late nights and being kept awake by my coughing and snoring like a steam engine have not done him any good. This is also why I hate being ill. I have no control over my sleeping self. Not that I’m a control freak in the ex-husband sense of the word, I just like to be in control of myself… and my immediate surroundings because… I don’t like surprises.
Bear’s taking the girl child to her volleyball match this afternoon. So there’s almost 3 hours of driving and 2 hours of sitting around in the cold to add to his tiredness. And then shopping. Luckily because the kids had dinner at home instead of with us yesterday, we have the makings for Spinach pasta available, so we’ll do that tonight. It throws my whole meal plan for the weekend off, but I’m nothing if not flexible and resourceful. I own this shit… because I’ve had to learn to.
Today, I shall mostly be doing sweet F all. As usual. I may Xbox later depending on how much of the boy’s whining I can deal with. He never wants to go on the Xbox, until I do… and then suddenly he’s desperate to go on it. I have Spotify on my headphones right now, as the TV has been taken over by sport and not the good kind. I made a ‘Choooooonz’ playlist, of all the awesome tunes that have played throughout my lifetime… by Beatles, Queen, Stones, Eagles, Johnny Cash, AC/DC, R.E.M. etc, etc… Loving it.!
We watched the first episode of Picard last night… it was nice to see that it goes at the right pace, meaning the right pace for a retired Captain who used to rule the stars, not a middle-aged Captain who does. Patrick Stewart is looking very old these days… yes, I know he’s working on his 80’s, but it’s worrying. I don’t need to wake up to Twitter screaming that Sir Patrick has passed to the great unknown… I don’t think I could deal with that. 😥
2016 still hasn’t been forgiven for taking Carrie Fisher and 2017 is still on probation for it’s involvement in killing off many of my much loved TV and music favourites. 2020 wants to behave itself. Seriously.!
