Diary Entry
1.50 am The essay is finished! I stayed in the shop until after 10.00 pm working on it, but only got it half finished. Then I got a bit worried because it was dark and deserted outside, and I was going to have to walk to my car alone, so I chickened out and came home. It turns out the walk to my car wasn't quite as dark and deserted as I thought because there are two restaurants at that end of the road, and they were both open.
Now I have created a monster! I made Simon an admin on the DC forum I started so he could help me with the technical stuff on it, and instead he's been setting up chat rooms and doing all sorts! I've given him the official title, "Site Admin's Computer Geek Hubby". I think it suits him. He always says he's thick, but there's a big difference between someone who is thick and someone who didn't go on to higher education. Simon would have done really really well if he'd been encouraged to go to university. I wouldn't mind if he went and studied after I finish, or even before I finish! I'm no hypocrite.
Geez, I'm exhausted now. I hope I can wake up to go hand in the paper now that I've finished it!
11.14 am The paper is handed in, and I'm shattered! It took me ages to drop off to sleep last night because I was so wound up. I almost asked Simon to take the boys to school so I could sleep in a bit again today, but I had promised them that I would take them. Then we ended up being late getting there because Simon had left my back seat down when he went to get the wood with Graham on Sunday, and one of them got stuck! I had to leave them at the gate because the bell was ringing. The best laid plans ...
Another mini-crisis. The accountant has phoned about last year's tax return, and he said he never received payment for the previous year's tax return! What a couple of idiots! I thought Simon had paid it last year, and he thought I had paid it! It wasn't that big a bill because it was only for the ice cream van, but we just overlooked it, I guess.
4.31 pm I had four or five hours of sleep this afternoon, and I still want to sleep for eight or ten more! The house has been lovely and quiet. Simon has been outside working on getting the ice cream van ready. He didn't even come wake me up and order me to make tea for him and Graham.
9.53 pm Simon brought home KFC, and I couldn't even eat much of that! That's a shocker! I must be a wreck if I can't eat at least four or five pieces of chicken from KFC! I'm enjoying a glass of Baileys though. I'm starting to feel chilled. I was going to start studying some basic German but decided I'm not doing anything academic today, so I cracked open a romance novel instead. Not the world's greatest work of literature, but it's fun reading.
I embarrassed Malorie earlier when I asked Simon if I could become a sex therapist like Barbra Streisand's character in "Meet the Fockers". He said sure, and she got embarrassed! I told her there's no reason to be embarrassed, sex is a wonderful thing, to which of course Simon responded, "Is it?" Thanks, Simon. So Malorie is one of those that thinks parents don't have sex. Boy, does she have another thing coming!
