(no subject)

I want to make a gloriously boastful list of things that I have done this week and luxuriate in my hard work. The trouble is, that if I do that, I might get a bit slack (it being cold and wintry) and I can't stop doing bunches of hard work until everything is done. And the moment I sort out one thing, another thing rears its head and says "You need some trouble. You so need to add to your day and make it a bit longer."

Despite all this, my nephew has his doctorate and my mother has escaped the ashes and is safely home and the doctor is actually pleased with me. My stacks of paper really *are* diminishing (at last) and my brain may soon be able to contain the things I must do.

Also, the cause of all that immense fatigue I've had these last six months? Iron deficiency. To those who see the word 'deficiency' and think 'diet' - my diet is fine, I have a history of poor uptake of iron. Given all the other possible causes, the doctor and I hadn't considered it, is all. Now I'm wondering how long it will take before the supplements kick in. I want to know just when people have to suffer an energetic Gillian. I'm hoping that a few days will do it and that I will lose the worst of the fatigue in time for London.

Right now, I'm putting off work. I want to say I'm allergic to it (I am, to housework, but not to paperwork) but the truth is that I'm bone lazy.
