A Note Of Thanks And Explanation

Time Asleep Last Night: 00:52
Time Awake This Morning: 09:33
Time Dozed Until: 14:26
Today's DAR: 9PP

I'd just like to say thanks to all of you who left a note after yesterday's irritated and frustrated comment. Yesterday was a generally frustrating day, and having talked things over and gone over things, they seem a lot clearer today and the problems that were worrying me seem slightly less problematic.

Issues were with finances; money going in and coming out didn't quite tally up with my mental balance sheet and the end result was quite a bit less in the bank than I thought I had, and a few more bills than I thought I had too, and generally lots of irritations to sort out. Then it became one of those days where everything else refuses to go right. The fact that I went to bed so early in frustration is the surest sign that I was not having a good day.

But after a good night's sleep and some rational thought and some sensible advice, my molehill seems a lot less mountainous overnight. It'll probably end up being something hillock-sized, enough to feature on a contour map but not to tempt mountaineers to climb it's edifices. It definately won't have any glaciers, apologies to you glaciologists out there eager to discover this among the mountain I was making of my molehill.

Anyway, I think I've exhausted that metaphor now.

In other news, my phone is almost entirely dead now, it has been dying a slow and painful death over the last few weeks. Any attempts to contact me by it will most likely be futile. I'm looking into getting a new one, but that requires money which I'm busy trying not to spend. Hurrah for cyclical problems.

Thanks again for the comments, even if I only just read them when updating this now; it still makes me feel a lot better, so thank you for that.

you can get a Nokia 1100 for only £20 (£5 for another sim card maybe) at carphone warehouse-thats where i went-very nice phone!

Glad your mountain has been eroded somewhat-maybe a glacier might have helped with that-but disappeared by now?

Nice metaphor, Andy, very nice indeed.
