Sleep

The school term is three weeks in. Despite having managed to clear the system-wide virus we caught just before the end of the summer term, the beginning of the new term has brought with it its own slew of new problems. This, along with the eternal struggle of trying to persuade children to sit down and actually DO their homework has meant that any "me" time I get (and we're told we have to make time for ME now) is well after 9pm. Thus my bed time has been moving relentlessly towards midnight.

Whilst the rock songs of my youth may have suggested that we can party while we're alive, and sleep when we're dead, you begin to realise that this may just be a fallacy, so I'm going off to have a bit of a nap now.
