come around

As a leaving present a dear friend in the UK got me a t-shirt bearing the following legend: 'Do NOT Start With Me: You Will NOT Win'. I don't know what sort of a stroppy bee-yatch (sp?) my friends take me for* -- I try to be nice, honest I do -- but at the moment I feel I should swap it for one that says 'Anything For A Quiet Life'. Becca's been sick again so sleep has been in short supply, especially as she announced her return to health at 3.30 this morning by running into our bedroom noisily demanding breakfast (she'd eaten practically nothing the previous day) and then taking some convincing that breakfast lay some hours away. Just as well I have all these lectures still to write, and the first one to deliver in less than two weeks. I seem to remember this phenomenon from my PhD -- fairly wallowing in the research while deferring the actual writing by reading that just one more article that would, in academic terms, really tie the room together.
Need I even mention that I'm typing this one-handed?
*Is it scary that I mainly wear it to bed? Or just TMI?
