No chance of driving in this. Have been in jim-jams most of day. Still got to Sid's house to clean this morning, as it's a walkable distance away. I traipsed over on foot and brought Sid back here for the day, so yay - still made some money. So yeah, I got the heating and my dressing gown and a proper-good sofa nest whacked right under the grill, and I've just been:

- Eating apples, cake, chocolate* and peanut butter. Healthy. AND MINCE PIES!
- Sorting out the plethora of books that are tossed all over the house as Sue gave me two whole bags full yesterday and I couldn't wait to take them upstairs before I rummaged through them. Books!
- Talking to myself on Twitter.
- Writing Christmas cards.
- Filing November's expenses.
- Cross-stitching.
- Watching episodes of the Jeremy Brett (epic love) Sherlock Holmes series, and the new film too because I was dubious but it is actually pretty cool. Believe I am bordering on The Line between fan and Fan...
- Reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which is totally pissing me off, and a crime-sort-of-novel wot I can't remember the name of - left it upstairs.
- Allowing ELO to solidly rock my world.
- Laundry. Lots of it.
- Cleaning the bathrooms.
- Sorting out/refilling my cleaning kit.
- Singing loudly.
- Running around the empty streets out the front of my house (usually busy main road) with unleashed barking dogs, just because we can. Floyd and snow = hilarity. Beard goes white. <3.

Tomorrow I wouldn't mind visiting Dr G and the bank, but I don't know if I should risk those darn hills when the white stuff gets more slippery. Require sledge and huskies, pronto. I would normally kill for a duvet day like this, but of course because I can't go out, I want to. Damnit.

* I owe Jon some chocolate.

Snowed in with the white stuff and snowed under with the blues (groan). Passionate e-speeches all over the show today. Forums, fandoms, e-mails to friends and whatever else has popped up on my screen. Talking, talking, talking. Nothing too taxing, nothing much to think about... just drifting along and providing ridiculous ramblings about things that seem to really matter to me in the moment... but five seconds later I'm onto something else. Distractedly clicking between the same four websites. On Saturday night I found myself listening to music, checking out a YouTube video, reading Doctor Faustus and trying on my new boots all at the same time. Nothing's holding my attention. Too long being cooped up indoors, I think. I was in here from Friday lunchtime till Monday morning. Hibernating. Thinking too much. Wandering thoughts of fail; dark thoughts that keep me awake. I haven't had more than about five hours' sleep each night. It's a pain in the arse - I can feel myself getting more anxious, physically, and... oh, I dunno, just too thinky.

I'm leaving the cleaning job at the school at the end of the week (woohoo!) I've missed two nights this week because of the white stuff. I'm going to be finding myself very short of cash quite soon. I need to get out there and start advertising, but I can't find any motivation. Brain is hyper, body is hypo. I can feel it all coming back and I need to knock it on the head right now.
