sunday

Well, didn’t do much again today.  I’m still feeling under the weather, and I’m scared I’ll go back to work tomorrow and just collapse.   I’m so bloody tired.  At this point, I can handle the illness side of it – the whole sniffing/coughing thing is controllable – but the exhaustion isn’t.  I slept again for three hours this afternoon.  Not good.

Oh well, we did do one good thing.  I’d seen a clothes rack on Gumtree (fabulous website, for anyone who’s interested in online classifieds that are free) about a week ago, and kept thinking back to it.  Finally I actually checked the website again, expecting it had been sold, but it hadn’t!  We picked it up this morning.  It only set us back $60, and it’s a nice sturdy unit.  Even SO, who is notoriously picky about things like ‘buying quality’, was very happy with it.  I even managed to put it back together myself (we had to dismantle it to get it in the car).  Here’s a picture (please excuse the furniture in the way):

It took me about an hour, but I managed to put all our clean but unironed clothes onto it.  The ironing room looks about a thousand times better now.  And yes, we do have that much ironing – the rack is completely full.

Otherwise, a pretty uneventful day.  Lots of sleeping and not much else.  I’m saving my strength for the coming week, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
