Rude awakening

Well, hello! It’s Monday! Rise and shine!

Ugh. Well, at least I got up early owing to having forgotten to turn the volume of the stereo down last night, so that when it went off this morning it went off on full blast… I normally doze through 20 minutes or so of it, but not at full blast, so I had to get up and turn it off. Consequently I was at work by 7:50. Yawn. I think my father is in town for a meeting today, wonder whether he’ll have time to buy his favourite daughter a drink (or a cup of coffee) to celebrate her birthday (which is Wednesday, hint, hint!)? We’ll see. I am in a quandary over whether or not to “do” anything for my birthday. It’d be nice to see a few friends (if I can find any in this dismal town), on the other hand, I have a book and a few articles I need to read before Thursday’s lecture, and very few evenings left to do it in. I also have a half-bottle of Veuve Clicquot, not enough to share. Hm. I am beginning to sound like a hermit.

Should that worry me?

Song in my head: It’s only words (which was what went off at full blast this morning)
