Even stranger dreams last night, but no royal parsnips, alas. The dreams are a simple by-product of pain and will fade in due course. they'll never fade entirely, for most nights I have fascinating dreams. Last night's though, was about ownership: of my creativity, of my body and of all my possessions. Very educative. I'm working on having that one fade promptly. I get enough of those messages every day and I don't really need to be reminded every night as well.

My delayed pay for teaching two months ago has started to come through. My delayed pay for teaching three weeks ago has not. The scholarship has still not been processed. This sounds far more awkward than it is, for it means that money will tide me through one of the two impossible periods of the year, and, at the end of it, I shall have a small amount of forced savings. This will be the start (or most of - depending on how much back pay I get at once) the computer money.

The computer is becoming more and more dead on its feet. This is becoming less and less acceptable. Poor K last night had to deal with problems, for instance, when I sent her files. It's one thing for me to have to deal: it's quite another for others.

Besides, it wouldn't be my life in 2012 without a physical problem to deal with (the continuing size and pain - nothing I can do about it except what I'm doing - it's a result of the recent overwork and sequential crises) and a technical problem to deal with (the computer, obviously) and a problem in my flat (I have to tell the Body Corporate about that one - not a happy phonecall, for the problem involves cracks in walls) and my friends having life difficulties (only three friends right now, but they're going through times that are far too interesting) and chase-up from insurance. In other words, this week is life as normal!!

Tonight I can't seem to focus, so I'm doing what all good researchers do when focus is unattainable: I'm fixing footnotes. I'm doing well so far (hah!) and am 1/8 through the whole. I just ran into a problem which will either be solved through Gallica or Google books (for I cannot remember where I put my printout of the reference pages and they're not entered where they ought to be and it's a very defunct and rare work). The upside of this (in a very negative sort of upsidey way) is that I nearly forgot to put all my e-references on the bibliography. At least the sad loss of the Miracles de Nostre Dame from my files reminded me before the situation got dire.

After I finish the footnotes I get to watch Gilbert and Sullivan and drink more ginger wine. And now, once more unto the breach...
