All you need to know about my current state of mind

Last night I dreamt that my younger sister had written an entire PhD thesis in six months and just passed her viva. My mother's response: 'See, it's really easy. I don't know what you're complaining about.'

Term has started again. Inevitably, I've caught a dreadful cold, despite not having gone anywhere besides my own house and the local shops in weeks. Yesterday I nearly lost my voice showing our new first-year undergrads around three different libraries. (They pay you £38 per hour to do this. I wasn't going to let a cold stop me.)

The thesis drags on. I'm attempting to have the final draft done by the end of the week. Needless to say, it takes longer than six months to complete a PhD.

Thanks. I'm much better now, but my partner has got sick now. We're like a tag-team of illness.
