Mon 8 May 2006 - Did I? Didn’t I?

Oh, great. The central heating is now my new “Did I leave the oven on?” stress.

Worried about that all morning. Not that anything would happen if it was left on all day. Apart from the house burning down and a huge gas bill, of course.

(Got home to find it was, in fact, off.)

I only turned it on this morning because it had been so cold overnight. That was always the problem in the old house, but there was no way of taking the edge off the cold.

I’m unlikely to leave it on all night, because it’s a waste of energy when one can make use of a heat bag, flannel sheets and a double doona, and because the kids’ bunk beds mean that Isaac would be up by the vent in their room, positively sweating.

Mon 8 May 2006 - Sleep

During the week I often only get about 7 hours of sleep. Usually this is okay. I might feel tired, but don’t particularly feel the need for a daytime siesta.

On Friday night I got almost 9 hours. On Saturday night I got 10 and a half. It was good to catch up, mind you I still managed to yawn a few times during the day on Sunday.
