Overall, the past week or so has been terrible mental/physical health-wise. I am sick, yet again (fourth time since I've been in Cogolin). Dealing with the stresses of feeling like an inadequate au pair and the added pressures of making plans for university and/or the rest of my life is only adding to my sinus headache, lack of desire to get out of bed at 6:45 every morning despite the fact that I can't sleep past 6am, and inability to think straight. Amazingly enough, I managed to scrape through today with Christine only catching one of the 3,524 mistakes that I made. I forgot to close Matthew's window in my car and the dogs somehow managed to jump inside. Other large mistakes that were not noticed include, not shutting the garage door (that was on purpose though because I thought the plumber was coming), not putting the laundry in the dryer until 2:30pm (and therefore not folding it until I got home with the kids and putting it away while giving the kids their baths), forgetting the belts for judo (luckily the teacher had extras), and eating the Chinese food (that was supposed to be Nigel's dinner) for lunch. It felt like there were a lot more. On top of everything, I can't settle on an itinerary for when Ricky comes. The train passes are so expensive and I can't decide what the best way to minimize the cost of transportation would be. It's just one more thing to stress me out and I don't want to think about it anymore. But with just under four weeks left, it's definitely something that I need to focus on. You know in addition to figuring out what I'm doing over the summer and next fall and spring and forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.
There is another giant spider in my room but I think I'm going to let this one live.
