laura_seabrook | Yesterday's "relapse"

Am angry at myself for yesterday. I was going to have a day of getting "stuck in" to Masters stuff, but it didn't work out that way. Instead I ended up doing "catch up" stuff like scheduling weekly recordings on the new Set Top Boxes, sorting out library loans and other stuff. But I also allowed myself to get sucked into the black hole of Facebook. In the afternoon I listened (via the web) to a parliamentary session in Tasmania's lower house (debating their same-sex marriage act) and writing emails to greens and labour members of that voicing certain concerns about that (basically: no coverage for trans folk, and a prohibition on married trans persons getting gender recognition in that state).

All very nice but I got NO masters work done at all. Of course I was feeling less than my best as well. My leg ached and my stomach was really queasy. Did not feel well at all. In fact I went to bed by 7:30pm and was asleep by 8:30pm. And of course woke up at 3:30am and couldn't get back to sleep. Ended up watching an episode of QI, and THE ETERNITY MAN (an original Australian opera about Arthur Stace). I love the second one, but it's such a sad piece about a man who wrote "Eternity" on Sydney streets for over 40 years.

Right now I'm not feeling too good either. At some point I need to go out and buy some food items, but maybe I could do that tomorrow morning. Maybe staying home again today would be a good thing, but only if I stay off Live Journal and Facebook (after this post).
