Minifob's running a temp of 103.5. He's napping with a dose of Tylenol now, we'll see how it is when he wakes up in another half hour or so.

Row with HM Friday bout internet access.
Wasn't forgiven til Monday.

Then given a talking to by HM on Wednesday, due to me having too much of something he offered me on Tuesday night. Genuine difference of approach - if I offer something I offer it unconditionally. But he felt I was taking the piss, ungrateful, disrespectful and unreasonable. He also brought up the fact he believed I had "used" men in the past (something I was not aware of either doing or him thinking) and he said there was no way he'd let that happen here. Oh and he brought up Friday and also told me I could stop "eulogising" him, he'd rather have respect of his consumables.

I'm not specifying the monetary value because it is very low. In those terms what I consumed equals less than the bottles of washing liquid I buy every month without comment despite the fact he has 3 times the washing I do. I genuinely don't mind - I am only making a comparison. So there is more to it.

So am hurt, a bit scared and also veering between blaming myself totally, being furious at him because he has over-reacted, and being paranoid now about everything I have done and said.

Talked it through with my lovely American counsellor today. Made some decisions. For one thing I will only log on when he is out now. Another reason to be miserable but it's his PC and he is entitled to complain about me using chat.. And won't drink with him again for two, which is a social loss, but there is less potential for damage drinking alone, despite the fact that goes against common experience.

Assuming that it's a worthwhile assignment. Why on earth would that be upsetting?

What is fucking math? Wouldn't a homework assignment encourage incest? That'd upset me.

Because she gets "worthwhile" assignments every night, and every weekend, and just needs a BREAK

Diz woke me up at 07.13. Yes, I looked at the clock.
So I got up, fed them, fed myself and went back to bed to read until 10.00.

Came downstairs to see a Missed Delivery note from Royal Mail. Time 07.50 - at which point I was awake, reading, but with earplugs in. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Have to wait til 08.00 Monday for the Collection Office to be open. Of course it's an exciting wait because I think it's my Cellar prize. It's just mildly frustrating because it's the first time I've been up before 08.00 in ages and so I could have had it in my hands today!

We haven't had one fall in at least a decade - but my neighbor's and my sister's and my sister's neighbor's have fallen already this year.
My sister suffered the tragic loss of Mr Potato Head (Radko) in the crash - if anyone sees one in their last minute ebay shopping pls let me know...
