Yesterday, I had A Day.
Oh well, it was Friday. I suppose it should be expected by this point.
At 1 AM yesterday morning, my brain decided to awaken me because it is a butt, and apparently I was too warm in bed. Then my brain decided I was wide awake. I tried to make myself cooler and go back to sleep, except I could hear water trickling somewhere, which was unusual.
After putting this off for a bit, I decided to investigate.
Only to discover that the toilet had got blocked, overflowed, and flooded the floor of its room, plus the carpet on the landing. It had also seeped through the floor and run down some of the hall wall downstairs, and so the hall carpet was wet in one place, too. And it was dripping down a light socket, presumably because it could. And dripping from elsewhere, too.
Lovely.
So I unblocked the loo, which took forever, then cleaned up the mess.
Then I failed to sleep, got up, discovered dripping ceilings had stopped. Rejoiced. Failed to sleep some more, got up again. Went back to bed, and then slept for two hours (approx) until my alarm went off.
So I spent a lot of yesterday incredibly brain dead. Thankfully, I managed to sleep a lot better (and have no disasters) last night, in spite of waking at four AM for no apparent reason. (It happens anyway, sometimes. I went through a period one year of waking at five AM on the dot, after having had a nasty dream. Thankfully, it stopped, and so will this).

I have a question for today!

I don't think there is anything, apart from maybe learn to play the ukulele, but I keep saying that, and the last thing we need in this house is more musical instruments I pick up maybe once a year.
Also I'm kind of limited in what I could choose to do anyway, with having to look after mum. And I'm really a very boring and unadventurous person. This is not to say that there aren't things I haven't done that I don't want to do (oh god too many negatives). There are things! I just really haven't given them much thought, and there's nothing pressing right now.
Occasionally I toy with the idea of learning ANOTHER language, but I'm trying to stop myself doing that because I don't have mastery over any of the ones I know anyway. As I mentioned in the post about new year's resolutions, I think it might be nice to publish some of my work in a book or a zine type thing, but I don't know if that will happen. I have no confidence in myself at the best of times, and I don't know if there's an audience for my art anyway. But it's another thing I might consider. I don't really know right now.

I am approx halfway through season four of Lost and oh my god a lot of it is boring. I think some of it is down to the fact that there's no mystery here for me now. I already know all this. And, as much as I wrote excitedly about it on my lj back when it was airing, this was the point where I was starting to get really fed up.
Also I loved The Constant (episode five) when it aired but this time as I watched it, it was very much nothing-y to me. I think that episode works a lot better when you don't know what's going to happen. But that could be said of a lot of the entire run, so *shrugs*? Then again, Ji Yeon (episode seven) ripped me into tiny pieces because I knew what was coming. I mean it really did a number on me, there was snotty nose and tears and everything.
(I could've happily lived without seeing The Other Woman (ep six) again though, because what the hell was that episode? I thought it was really boring, and I don't think it's just because I'm not Juliet's biggest fan).

My dad has been laerning the Ukulele for a while and he's getting pretty good at it!
