Not quite what I had in mind

Being made redundant meant I was going to see loads and loads of birds, especially in Wanstead. Today however, I cannot recall seeing a single bird. I do recall doing the school drop-off, going shopping, going to the dump with the weekend's gardening efforts, cleaning my son's room, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, doing a load of washing, changing nappies, cleaning the front windowsills, cooking two meals, and looking after a small clingy baby. Some of these things may garner Brownie Points, but honestly, what a waste of bloody time! By the time I'd finished that little lot it was time to do the school pick-up and the day was basically over. I am a week-and-a-bit into this and already I am in need of emancipation. Shit.
