On the eighth day of Whinemas, the troll gods sent to me...

8 grumpy x-mates

• where x=house or lab. Actually, nobody seems grumpy, but they probably are. If I were them I would be, anyway. I've been incredibly slack about doing assigned chores etc for so long now. I hate feeling like I'm not doing my share, but at the same time, having not done it for ages makes me less likely to start because I'm too self-conscious about attracting attention by doing anything differently. I know, yet another ridiculous behaviour... I keep planning to turn over a new leaf, but that's been about as effective as planning to get to lab before 11am has been for the past week.
