Acopia

I was explaining my feeling of lethargy and inability to get anything done or know where to start to Tabi this morning. She said her friends Claire and Vicki refer to the condition as acopia. I am definitely borderline acopic today. Not sure what's wrong and I hope I snap out of it soon.

Sunday was lovely. I had probably been getting unnecessarily stressed about the visit with hindsight. I spent Saturday cooking up a rich ragu sauce for lasagne and not getting enough cleaning done. I was way behind on the jobs list when G came home, but the lasagne was all the better for the extra attention. G was marvellous and did loads of tidying up so we were able to start Sunday at a fairly leisurely pace with most of the cooking and cleaning done.

It absolutely chucked it down all day Sunday, but G's mum and dad didn't seem to mind staying in the house. It was a real pleasure to see them. Lots of chat about travelling and what we were going to do. G's mum is petrified for us and says she doesn't know anyone who has done anything similar and not gone down with horrendous food poisoning. Then she did point out that it wouldn't do us any harm to lose a few pounds. Fair point. Maybe I'll be able to turn the experience into a round-the-world diet book - 'Daren't Eat/Don't Eat'.

This week is looking busy at work. Will make a nice change, unless the acopia persists. In which case I am likely to fall to pieces. May try to get back to dancing class on Wednesday night if G decides to take up the invitation to some rugby training at the local club. His session will probably only last an hour, but I daresay there'll be some obligatory post-training guinness consumption. Would be good to get back into the swing of things dancing-wise.

Extra special good luck wishes to Tabi for her interview tomorrow. Knock their socks off sis - you know you can do it!
