The Buggerall Coefficient

Blood this morning was 7.3.

That's it.

That's the only remotely interesting thing about today in Disappearing terms. It's been a day of sitting on my butt, editing, while d - mainly, I think, to give me space and time to do precisely that, has been out and about - and quite possibly hither and yon, doing proper grown-up stuff like grocery shopping and food prep.

Feels weird but simply wonderful to be home tonight. To have nothing to go out and do - no choir tonight (after the concert last night, we get a break!), no badminton, no nothing. And no UberCommute tomorrow, as this week it's Wednesday-Thursday that I'm away from home. It's like my life has today been subject to a Buggerall Coefficient, a nullifier that is so unspeakably pleasant I really shouldn't even be telling you about it here.

The secret art of Buggerall is a much maligned and misunderstood discipline. One must get one's head in a state of Buggerall calm...which is like Zen calm, only less namby-pamby. And then one has to simply Do Buggerall. This is not like meditation, or sleep, or any suchlike consciousness-raising malarkey. It's purely and simply Buggerall.

Having said which, the editing I've been doing today has been tremendously good fun - seem to have stumbled on a rom-com to edit, which is a particularly fun way of Doing Buggerall and getting paid for it.

Of course, the bike, which is sitting behind me, has been scowling at me for several hours now, demanding I leave the Path of Buggerall and Do Stuff on it. But that, I think, is for tomorrow - meeting Ma at Unfeasible o'clock and we're going to the gym...together. Tomorrow, there will be treadmills, and rowing, and biking and sweating and all suchlike manner of perturbation.

For today, there is the blessed calm of a white office, with a white desk, and a fun piece of work to edit, and the Buggerall Coefficient. And now, there is going downstairs to spend a proper, full evening with my Cariad.

See - much maligned and misunderstood, the Buggerall Coefficient. Try it...I promise, you'll love it...
