h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

yay

Swedish poet Karin Boye wrote these lines, which I'm too lazy to translate right now:

'På ställen där man sover blott en gång
blir sömnen trygg och drömmen full av sång'

And guess what? She was wrong! I didn't sleep more than 3-3½ hours at my mother's place either...

And now that I'm home, I need to:

Check train times for both me and my mother to go celebrating my niece's birthday next weekend at my brother's

Book a Finland ferry trip to Helsinki in the middle of May

Gather enough strength to start working full time as from tomorrow

Get my mother new sofas (a promise I made when she told me she was thinking of getting a bank loan to replace her more than 30 year old sofas, but, unlike the bank, I won't charge any interest).

Call my and tell her that a) my sleeping problems remain the same and that b) I'd like to go on working only part time, not full time

Anything else? Oh yes, skipped laundry again, and vacuuming, and washing up, and...

Do not w*rk full time.

Do not do laundry and vacuuming. Just shoot the most evil dustbunnies.
A little bit of washing up may be OK, but only a little.

Do call .

(30 year old sofas? Pah! My in-laws have sofas from the 30's... the fabric was replaced in the 70's, but none of the springs. Sagging? Just a little...)
