directionless moaning...

charloweenI must be more tired than I thought, because this afternoon I had the worst cramps I've ever experienced. Most months there's no problem, but aiiiiie.
My poor (new) flatmate has just properly moved in, but she still offered her hot water bottle. Most months a laptop provides enough soothing warmth (I... get real comfort from my technology?), but not so much.
I spent a few hours hiding in a dark room, and now I feel more human.
So instead of getting anything* done today (aside from shopping for housewares, getting the outgoing flatmate out-gone and the incoming flatmate properly in-...came? (idk), doing laundry, grocery shopping in the pouring rain, mopping up the muddy footprints from all the feets attached to people moving beds and boxes in and out...) I'm watching a documentary on iPlayer about Henry Purcell.
*Blah blah what counts as labour, blah blah devaluation of housework, siiiiigh. Imagine how much happier we'd all be if cleaning was considered "getting anything done".
Also. The guy in the flat upstairs seems to have bought himself a new treadmill. :(
