The night shift did not go well for me last night. I felt really quite down for a while as I had so much to do and not very much time to do it in. I am feeling at the moment that I am kind of working too much to a timetable and have no time to myself at all. The nights go by too quickly and I never have any time to get things done. I do not think that it helped that both of the twins were really unsettled all night. I also had heartburn. I do think that this affected the twins, as I do not think it was just a coincidence that they were very unsettled.
There was a problem with my computer, which has meant that most of my bookmarked websites have been lost. I am really glad that I saved them onto a Word document ages ago so I know where to get hold of them.
They were still up at 2 in the morning but I took them through so Devil boy could get some sleep. I managed to get Elbereth settled and Malach was obviously not going to settle so I put him alongside me. I needed to get a sleep as well.
Even though I had a disturbed sleep I did not feel too badly when I got up. I also did not get up too late. I also realised that I also have to locate the missing child benefit forms for the twins to send them off as soon as possible. Though unfortunately I realised that I did not know where their birth certificates had gone to so my next most important task is to locate them. I will even have to put off the kitchen project to do that.
I spent the rest of the morning ordering a food shop form Tesco and the most of the after noon sorting though stuff in the back room. I managed to find a lot of stuff to go in the recycle bucket though which has cleared space and sort through some more clothes but unfortunately no birth certificates or forms. I am not too bothered about the forms though as we can get them sent out to us but it is essential that I find their birth certificates.
During the day I had a though about the heartburn that I had the night before and which was still slightly lingering on for most of today. I think it was the muffins that we ate last night that gave me the heartburn. I have decided that they are to go as well as the biscuits. Though they need to go as part of my vegan diet. I have been looking on the Internet for recipes. I have found some really funky recipes and I will get some ingredients from Tesco. I will add them onto the order that I have already placed. As the order will not be delivered until Thursday I will be able to do that. I am sure that freshly baked muffins will taste so much nicer than the shop muffins and I will know exactly what has gone into them.
After I had dinner I had another look around while I was tidying up. I needed dot clear the mess that I had made during the day so that I had a bed to sleep tonight. I had decided last night as I was trying to get to sleep that I would take a night off the computer and read my Star Wars book. I am enjoying the story but I have not had chance to read it. I am also in need of taking a break from the computer and resting a little.
Wolfie settled off to sleep perfectly and I decided that before I started reading I would have a quick bath. This turned into a lovely soak, as the bath was too lovely to get out of quickly.
After I got out I fed Elbereth while reading and then had some beans on toast for supper before changing and feeding Malach while reading. I really have enjoyed my night off the computer and I think I am going to do this much more often. In fact I think most nights for the time being will be spent off the computer. It will give me the time to get the things that I need to get done and time to read again. I must admit that I have real missed reading and I much prefer reading to watching TV.
The twins have been so much better tonight and even though Elbereth has cried for a little she has now settled off along with Malach so I am going to rest for a little before getting ready for bed. I am feeling a lot more relaxed than yesterday. The difference between a good day and a challenging day are poles apart. I am now making the most of my good night and getting some relaxing time where I do nothing but something that I enjoy doing.
