Of Grumpification October 4, 2007
Posted by Jen in : Journal , 21 commentsGrrrrrr. Grumble, grumble, grumble. The job application machine is growling into action which means I have around four weeks to finish my novel. Four weeks is fine. It’s achievable. Well, it would be. On Monday and Tuesday this week, I spent all day watching back-to-back episodes of Spongebob Squarepants. Number 2 Son was sort of sick. Not proper poorly, just moany and irritating. Sigh.
Today and, miserably, tomorrow both beasties are off – the school has open evenings and they clearly don’t want the pupils there making a mess or putting potential parents off.
I am going to hide in bed until I’ve written some words. All I need is the coffee fairy – a plentiful supply of decaf café crème and some almond cake. That’s not much to ask, is it?
No, it’s no good. I can hear them. Hear them Having Fun and Laughing. I cannot concentrate. I feel an uncontrollable urge to get up from my warm pit, to rummage through the emergency/disaster cupboard for bandages to bandage up their mouths.
Sigh. Childline probably frowns upon such behaviour. Boring buggers. I shall, instead, plug myself in to yumptious Newton Faulkner. I won’t be playing this song though. I wouldn’t click on it either, if I were you. It will infiltrate your brain and make you peculiar for the whole day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
