Sun, 8 Jan

Insanity is sitting here trying to do complicated stuff with book cover images using a keyboard and a mouse that are both running out of battery. And I’ve been doing it for hours because it has to get done and I don’t have time to get up and get new batteries even though that would probably save time in the end.

Lunch with my mother-in-law today, who is dealing with the practical stuff after the death of her husband in early November. If I’m worried about finding the time and having the knowledge to do things (and I am), I only need to look at her and how incredibly good she is at soldiering on.

I feel like there are leaks everywhere. After all the rain, we have had yet another leak in my (newly-repaired and -painted) extension ceiling, and as I type I can hear my shower dripping. And my brains are leaking out of my head. Just in time for another Monday morning.
