I was feeling a bit overworked and fatigued last week, as you know, for I complained about it. I was feeling more and more tired and my legs kept saying to me, "Give me some rest!" On Friday the symptoms became just a bit grander than feeling run over by a truck and now I know what' wrong. The latest virus. Which is a gastro. I'm taking travel sickness pills and sleeping a lot and doing work (like yesterday) in the interstices.

This is a seasonal thing (at least half of Canberra has some sort of virus) and I'll be through it soon.

Like yesterday and Friday, I plan to get one big block of work done and to watch Eurovision. Everything else can wait. The last two days I didn't plan to spend the day like this but today I'm heading towards recovery and things look clearer.

And now it's nap-time!

I have finally, finally worked out why the burglar unstrung my violin bow. When I was sorting my scarves this week, I noted them all and decided which to keep. It was only today, when I took out the violin, that I realised that its protective scarf was one of the ones that had been flung around the floor ie that I had sorted it along with the others. He must've thought I was hiding money in my violin case and been frustrated.

I didn't realise how much that floating horsehair had worried me until now.

More procrastination today. This is because I have a hefty week ahead and I need to stop being ill. Eurovision helps, I must admit. I couldn't not work (it's a personality flaw) so I used my have-to-be-quiet-or-pay-for-it time to read from my must-read-or-else pile. I'm two books down and have paid most of my bills and now I'm doing bits and pieces of things while singing along at home.

It wasn't precisely a big day's anything, but it was worthwhile. I'm shaking off the foul lurgie (without even having to say "Begone foul lurgie!") and haven't entirely lost a whole weekend.

I still feel bad about it. I was going to do a big catchup and be on top of most things by Tuesday, and life keeps interfering.

I possibly need a 'reset' button.
