Life

I babysat for Mark and George on Monday evening. On the way home I developed a limp, and by the time I got home my left ankle was in agony. I couldn’t get to sleep, I couldn’t put any weight on it whatsoever, I thought I was going to be sick with the pain and started shivering uncontrollably. Σσ was understandably quite concerned and managed to get an ice-pack wrapped around it. I genuinely thought I might have broken something.

The next day I limped a bit and had some ibuprofen. The day after it was completely fine. I felt a bit daft for how much of a deal I’d made of it, but there’s no escaping the fact it really felt like quite a worryingly big deal. Can abject exhaustion manifest itself in extreme acute ankle pain? Or maybe it’s just another fun thing to look forward to about getting older.

I think Σσ is also on the verge of breaking. It has been an unrelenting few months of personal life insanity coupled with a high-stress job in which she is never going to even remotely consider half-arsing it (which some might *cough*). She needs a break. I’m not sure the Christmas holidays is going to be the one she needs, but hopefully it’ll be better than nothing.

I bought a small painting from Mimei Thompson (our landlady when we lived in London Fields). I’m delighted that I’ve finally got around to doing this because we’ve wanted a piece for the longest time. I think Santa is probably going to leave it under our tree and we’ll have to hope that Ηη and Αα don’t manage to break it before it’s unwrapped.

Αα pulled the tree down on Sunday morning. I’m impressed it took her that long tbh.

Seems I’m doing the Drink Every Day December Challenge. Needless to say it isn’t making me feel any better but somehow almost always seems unavoidable.

Aila’s ok.
