Miscounted backstroke

[slemslempike]

This morning when I was swimming I miscounted my backstrokes and smashed my head into the tiles. And the week is going to continue to be this horrible until about Thursday evening.

It would comfort me greatly to know that it is not in fact the case that everyone else is doing brilliantly, so if you would like to have a grump in the comments, that would be lovely. Sod positivity.

Despite having had a very good weekend, I must mention the following:

- I appear to have acquired something that might or might not turn into a cold, as NEVER EVER happens when I spend the weekend in Manchester.

- It took me 4 hours to do the 2.5-hour drive up there on Friday, as apparently the whole universe was heading north and the weather turned apocalyptic around Birmingham; and then yesterday I took a 40-mile detour to avoid the M6, as everyone was driving in a frankly terrifying fashion on a very rainy day with no visibility, and I didn't want to end up in a pile-up.

- The amount of lab-work I have to do this week is, quite frankly, beyond comprehension.

I really feel that there is far too much work expected of us on phds. How am I supposed to fit in my important sitting and whining when I am constantly having to write things that about three people will read anyway?

Yuck to the horrible surroundings of a very good weekend.
