I get drunk and sentimental

Our relationship was just like a sandwich toaster. You know, you just forget you've got one. And it just sits there on the top of the cupboard collecting a layer of greasy fudge. And even if you do see it you just assume it's broken, you think if it's working I'd be using it all the time, but you don't and it just sits there. Then one day, you get an overwhelming desire for toasted sandwiches. And you get it down and it works, and you can't believe it. And then you make every kind of toasted sandwich there is, you have toasted sandwich parties. You make marmite and cheese, chocolate, and pilchards,
banana, and acorns. And then as quickly as the desire comes, it just goes. And then you put the toasted sandwich maker away. And, you know what?
You don't miss it.

not much happening

It's a little quiet round here. Sorry about that.

Truth is it's because there's really not much happening.

Boss has been in Japan, so quiet at work. Although he is back Tuesday, so tomorrow will see much craziness from me as I try and do everything I'm meant to have done while he has been away instead of just played on t'interweb all day.

Baby is fine. Went to midwife on Wednesday. She took blood which has resulted in a lovely bruise on my arm. It's giant and actually quite hurts. But then she found the heartbeat so I had a little coo at how strong it seems, and it made me actually realise it's still in there. It's started getting a little squirmy as well. Generally in the evenings, if I don't think about, I can feel it move. Only 3 weeks, and then it will no longer be an it, but an actual he or she. Woo.

All is quiet at the hall. I like that. Just got through another weekend duty with no major events. Hurrah. This pleases me muchly, as now I have another week and a half of sleeping the night trhough with earplugs, before duty happens again. And when it does, we'll be half way through the semester. How crazy is that, they'll be home for Christmas before we know it.

Why did the doctor tell me it would go away at 12 weeks? Here I am now, over 15, and it's still grim. Gah.

It makes me sad

that I am not looking forward to the weekend.

I love weekends. I get to sleep. I get to shop. I get to stay in my pj's until teatime if I so desire (and I quite often do). This weekend though, I am on duty Saturday.

Saturday in the hall will see "soccer Saturday", a drinking game where everytime a goal is scored, students will drink. Combine this with a variety of other rules, by teatime, I expect to have a number of very drunken students.

Saturday evening will see number 2 most troublesome student finally have her party. It's a "crazy mental haunted asylum" theme. Doesn't that pretty much tell you why I am dreading it?

Maybe I shouldn't be so down on it all. But I can't help thinking that if I get through to 8am Saturday morning without an incident, it will be a small miracle.

In other exciting hall related news though, I have fined my first student. Don't go through alarmed fire doors at 3am kids, it makes me cross!
