26.1
I spent the Friday and Saturday feeling very sorry for myself. I don't do sick. I hate being sick. I used to power through them but I have since decided that powering through cold and whatnots is for heroes and I am not a hero. So instead I spent a largely delirious day on the safe rewatching Series 2 of Lucifer which is as about as much as my brain could take. I was supposed to leaflet Armagh and I am glad it was cancelled. I thought I would rally by 3 pm but nothing of the sort took place. So I took a hot shower and tried to clean the kitchen and failed dismally. This was when I texted Ghin to say that i wouldn't be seeing him this weekend because I was sick and just could not even.
I then gave Garry the rest of the tuna in the can - that was waaaay too much tuna for the week btw - and then I lapsed in and out of sleep while Lucifer played in the background. I ate the rest of the pineapple up.
At 22.10 Ghin called and asked me to get him. It is impossible to know what goes through that boy's head and what is going on. I have largely given up trying to understand it. I of course got him and he spent the rest of the night talking to someone very loudly on the phone - the conversation was wide rnaging involving doors opening and shutting, lights going on and off, and multiple rooms being examined. If I hadn't known better it may have well been a poltergiest hauting.
I slept till 5 am though. Gary next to me. I downloaded X-men Something and watched that but fell asleep. What was the point of these X-Men films right at the end? to think of the budget which they had to throw into a fire.
This morning I felt much better. I did manage to tidy the house and hoover it. Dishwashing took the best part of an hour - forest school dishes to be washed too - and I listened to Russel Brand and Graham Hancock. It is good to hear that there are people who literally use their bodies to keep these spaces of free thought open. One thought at a time.
It made me think about being Singaporean. There was much discussion about power and authority and since the pandemic there has been a lot of questioning of it. I wonder how deluded these people in positions of authority are... once upon a time yes, because resources were being shared not obscenely accrued, people were happy enough to get what they needed and get on with their lives with minimal interference. Now everything is running interference. It is really unacceptable. I have watched people kid themselves about what they are there to do. It is painful to watch, but what else can we do? All those of us CAN do while these others bark up wrong trees is get on with it. Was I just born with an ornerary bone in my body? Was that it?
Just born to kick my heels at the kidders?
Today's picture then...
