Feeling tired and depressed, and that I have too much work to do.
Went home for the weekend and saw parents and my sister Kate and her daughter. Dad seems slightly better, happier at least, though I'm not sure there is much long term comfort to be taken. Anna, my niece (3 months) has grown enormously since I last say her a month ago and has become disconcertingly alert.
My other sister was 40 at the weekend too, I was supposed to be going up to Durham to see her and her family but I couldn't afford it. Really quite scary when your sister gets to 40. Surely that's the kind of age parents belong at?
Feeling far too introspective, doubting my perception of myself, blah blah, get on and do some sodding work and stop whining...
