disheartened

Mixed feelings this morning. Thoroughly disheartened by the election results for starters. But wanting to have a gentle day - I'm reading a book group book, and seeing as it's a bank holiday, my hope is to read some DURING THE DAY and not just as I'm falling asleep at night. My girly has guests coming over tho and wants me to help get ready for them - I think putting the tent up is part of their shared adventure so will try my hardest to convince her that I don't need to do that beforehand.
One of my favourite things to do is read a novel in a bubble bath. I can't remember the last time I did it -  I don't think I've done it yet this year. I managed to do so this morning, so that was good. Then hoovered the landing for the fourth time in 24 hours. The level of mess caused by the hamster sawdust stuff is not sustainable - other people with hamsters don't seem to live in a layer of the stuff, I don't know where we've gone wrong. I have a pain in my neck, I think that might be why I'm so grouchy. It's going to be challenging keeping my boy occupied so he doesn't hijack the girls' fun. He has a friend coming over tomorrow but has to tidy his room first... :s
