I knew it, this rain was a total lie - all I ended up with was a car with dried dusty splotches all over! I'm not confident it'll rain much tomorrow either... it's so dry out there.
It took so much effort but I've done my most important duties today: cleaned manky kitchen and bathroom, vacuumed disgusting gross carpet, washed and dried some seriously dirty sheets and clothes, put new sheets on, and gave my own oily unwashed hair a good clean. 1.5hr chat with depressed cousin (both of us significantly more cheerful after talking), and a decent dinner later, I'm certainly feeling gruntled.
This will sound awful but I think I'm just going to frigging go into the office tomorrow and work (and count it as hours for later in the week), because I'm just not in the mood for a 4 day long weekend when I have a LOT to do before Thursday and will be pretty much unavailable for 7 working days after during which time several deadlines will come up.
I'd rather clear my plate early, and also do it on a day when I will have zero distractions (but good coffee, ergonomics and lighting).
I get the work thing. I'll probably be doing a few hours tomorrow to ease the load that's coming up.
Yeah, it won't be a full day, just enough to make sure the following days aren't a total clusterfuck. Thinking about it makes me a tad anxious now so best to get ahead of it...
